I Love To Workout More Than Anything

I love to workout more than anything. That’s the truth. That’s the only way I’ve been able to last this long in today’s clown show :clown_face: known as the fitness industry.

I cannot wrap my brain around this.

Interesting. Glad you found the thing in life you love to do and figured out a way to make your living doing it!
I, personally, do not enjoy it at all. I like the results I get. And I need to continue getting stronger in order to achieve my goals. But I’m never excited to go train.

I love training, I love moving and lifting heavy stuff. No idea why but if I go somewhere and something heavy needs moving I enjoy that too!

That seems really strange to me, but, at the same time, some people like black licorice.

I also love black liquorice, is there any other kind though?

Do you get liquorice all sorts in the states? They are amazing!

I legit haven’t had a piece of licorice in at least 5 years: I genuinely don’t know our current licorice purchasing status, haha.

I’ve seen you mention more than once that you basically don’t enjoy training at all (excuse me for poorly paraphrasing you - correct me as needed).

How do you justify training so fucking hard if you don’t like it? Why do you train? Surely there must be something about it you enjoy - even if it’s not directly the training (runners could hate running but love the runner’s high, for example).

There is no other path to the result.

I’m aware of this. I started training for this, but along the way I found myself enjoying my training - no matter how hard or shitty it gets. I still look forward to training and always feel better when I do.

I honestly don’t understand how people dedicate themselves fully to a result which takes effort to attain and maintain - while hating (or perhaps disliking) the process.

I love the process, but I’m a masochist (joking, kind of).

I’ve found things I like to do.

Those things are never what I need to be doing. :slightly_frowning_face:

I find this to be the big thing.

I am a hedonist. I love yummy food and video games.

But that won’t get me what I want.

I work for money. I don’t love the job, but I love the freedom that job gets me because it gives me money.

I love being big and strong more than I hate training. If that ever changes: I will stop.

Working out with weights is more who I am, than what I love.

Same here, but I still love training. I think we’ve talked about this before, but frankly I’ve been training for a long time And I’m way more fit than most 30 somethings but frankly don’t have a ton to show for it. For me, training is one of the very few meditative outlets I have. When I have a FrontSquat is pressing down against my chest, I’m not thinking about bills or the lawn or the house or the future, I’m not thinking of anything except for exactly what I am doing. I guess mindfulness or something.

This morning, while pushing the prowler at 0400, I legit said at least 3 times “I don’t want to f**king be here right now”

Then came home and did this

I am mindful alright: I just don’t like what I am experiencing, haha

I literally laughed out loud. Though I have to say, as a hedonist, I rarely put myself in places where I don’t want to be

Training is like scratching an itch most of the time.

The physical pain of training is a nice distraction from harder shite
