  • It for sure takes time to reach a point of fitness where exercise feels good. Starting out totally untrained is really tough, and most people don’t stick with it long enough for exercise to feel good.

    It’s also helpful to find something you like or think is cool in the first place. Many people fall off the workout grind because they think it’s mandatory for them to suffer through steady state cardio for an hour or insert thing that you in particular don’t like.

    For me, powerlifting was the perfect balance of measurable, incremental progress, plus there’s time between sets to get focused for the next one. I literally can’t do steady state cardio without wanting to blow my brains out, but lifting weights and being strong? Yes please. With how I feel outside of the gym because of it? I’m in this shit for life.
