Training - "more results."

"Discovering a passion for exercise goes far beyond just elevating your heart rate and shedding a few unwanted pounds. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE, it’s time to make your physical well-being one of your top priorities." - via 


"...often times the person’s desired expectations are not impossible at all, and they are already in a position to achieve them—but they won’t. Why is that? Because it’s HARD. These kinds of people don’t like it when anything becomes hard, they don’t want nor do they have the desire to learn, and they want change to happen without any of the effort required to make such changes. These people are not strong, to say it simply. They want an “optimal” outcome, but they are not in any way willing to expend optimal effort for this outcome...

Inversely, I know many people whose lives are not in any way conducive to training at all, yet they bite down and train with fury. They do this because the alternative is to do nothing, and they wont accept that. When my father was in medical school, he often worked 80-100 hour work weeks. He still trained. He bought a treadmill, bought a pull-up and dip apparatus for the master bedroom, and he still trained. Even if it was twice a week for 30 minutes and he was exhausted, he was determined to still do something. He didn’t care, he didn’t complain, he found a way to train. For all the stress that was placed upon him, he never let himself grow physically weak. Mentality creates physicality, and his mind was always strong enough to keep himself physically going, even when his body likely said otherwise."
