At least five days a week:
I weight train. Power lift. Heavy bag MMA.
Keeps me sane and jacked. Being an athlete all my life I don’t just “get by”. Same goes for out of the gym and into the kitchen. It’s encompasses my way of life.
Even Socrates said…
No citizen has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. What a shame it is for a man to grow old without ever experiencing the beauty and strength that which his body is capable of.
I sure hope so! I’m trying to live a bit healthier now so I’m trying to do a couple of sit-ups every now and then. I just hope this becomes a habit so I get even just a bit of exercise every now and then.
Hahaha. I really hope so! I feel like I’ve been taking my health and body for granted so I hope I can really push through with this. Haha. Going good so far!
What really works for me though is sports or any physical activity that involves bringing friends. I feel like going to the gym by myself can get a little lonely.
@ria_rose Good luck! Just keep at it! It’s good that you’ve started.
Motivation is hard problem to solve but I guess the solution is to maintain working conditions which don’t detract you. And also keep your desires in control because hanging out with friends too much or watching TV complicates learning process
Yeah this is also why I can’t go to the gym. I find myself just talking to other people instead of working out haha.
Watching TV is the worst habit one can have if you want to keep improving yourself - especially if you spend hours doing it every day. (Although you can just replace that with being on Facebook which may be just as bad or even worse)
If I may suggest - take a look at the 'low Carb" philosophy - cut out all the sugar / Carb rubbish and look to High fat and protein options - You NEVER feel hungry - Yet when you do overdo the ‘Carbs’ - you’ll pay for it with 2-3 hours asleep after 1 hour !
At the end of the weekday my mind is so worked out from work and analyzing the markets that I’m demotivated to work out and if I do it’s for a short period. I try my best during the weekend, but my grey matter procrastinates a lot
Used to say the same but you really gotta make time for it - even just 15 minutes. What helped me was to think about how little that time is. 15 minutes a day for your physical and mental health is so worth it. Even just 10 burpees/jumping jacks will help.
Hello guys! I think it is waste of time to spend time in the gym. In this matter, a quote of Zimbabwean prime minister comes into my mind that a girl wants your money more than your six packs. A trader does not have time for such kind of things. Do you agree with me?
