When you joined the gym, you found out which times you had to get your workout in, that time can change of course over the months and years as your circumstances change, but that time is YOU time and you still make sure it’s fitted into your week.
When that time doesn’t become as important anymore, it can slip pretty quickly indeed. When your workout starts not to happen, it’s somehow “easier” in your life not to do it, and fill that time with other “more important things” like increasing your screen time and getting really updates with all the latest boxsets-VERY important and VERY “easy”..
Here’s what “easier’ leads to.
- Increased joint pain because you aren’t moving so much anymore.
- Decreased strength and bone density, because you aren’t lifting weights anymore
- Decreased mood and increased irritability because you aren’t training anymore.
- Worse eating habits, because when you don’t train, your motivation to eat well plummets.
- Your mental health takes a dive, not being around like minded people who will lift you up will always take a big toll.
I could go on and on here but I urge you to appreciate how fit you are now, and if you have let it go somewhat, realise that “easy” NEVER WORKS in life, and feeling and looking good takes HARD WORK, so you MUST make the time to achieve anything worthwhile in life.
