As a kid I hated any type of sport. I enjoyed playing tag, mucking around in a pool and playing at parks but never physical education class. I despised people trying to persuade me to join school sport. So I was surprised to realise recently that, because of my weight loss journey, fitness has become my hobby!
I love going to the gym and miss it on days I don't go. I love working out and feeling that endorphin rush. My love for working out has encouraged members of my family to start working out too. What a juxtaposition!
I'm so glad and greatful I restarted my fitness and weight loss journey all the way back in 2022. It's been a slow and steady process, and I still have a fair way to go, but I'm so grateful to now genuinely enjoy exercise.
For those wanting the same, start small. I started working out low impact in my room while watching YouTube before joining a gym. I joined basically to play around with the machines. Engaging in fitness as play instead of a necessity has been a game changer for me. Find the fun in your everyday workout. I do 20 minutes of interval cardio then basically do whatever weights I want and that are available. Most days it feels like I'm playing on a playground. Am I making sick gains? Not really. But will I keep going because it's fun and makes me feel good? You bet!
Keep doing what you're doing everyone. This community has been very helpful and encouraging for me and I hope this is helpful and encouraging for you!
