We all know that exercise is good for us, yet many of us fail to either start or continue. Why?
Like many of you, I sit in front of a computer far too much during my days. I blame my inactivity on everything: not enough time, family obligations, an I'll do it tomorrow attitude, it won't work for me because of my genetics, I don't know what I should do so better not do anything and get injured etc.
Do you do the same? What keeps you from exercising or what made you start exercising in the first place? How do you keep it up?
That changed 1 year ago, when I stopped aimlessly 'exercising' and started goal-oriented 'training'.
I discovered powerlifting. Its principles and techniques really resonated with me. I was no longer exercising to be 'fit' but 'training' to beat my numbers (I don't do competitions) and see how good I can possibly be.
I've never been more consistently active over time, never been stronger, and never felt better. Now, I can't imagine living without lifting.
Powerlifting is what I chose, but you choose what you want. Learn the technique, set a schedule, set goals, and beat them...over and over and over and over again.
Then you won't think about activity as 'just exercise', but as something much more significant.
