I detest the term “motivation.”
I feel people use it as an excuse.
If all I needed was simple desire & motivation, I wouldn’t have been 50lbs overweight or had a piss poor relationship with food. I wouldn’t had developed disordered eating. I wouldn’t have bounced around from diet to diet.
Nothing is permanent in this world, not even motivation. But one thing no one can take away from you is education.
It starts there. I had no idea how to fuel my body & love myself as a child. Schools don’t teach it. My parents tried the best they could.
You have the freedom to make the choice
every day to start over.
Take my mom for example, can you believe she’s going to be 60?! 🔥
She chose to learn more about her body & take control of her health. She signed up to work with @nutrisenseio too because she values quality of life.
As I’ve aged, I’m almost 40, I feel health & fitness is a responsibility we all have. It’s a responsibility for us to be our healthiest selves so we can teach our youth. They don’t have to suffer like we did.
Looking good naked is awesome, we all wanna feel good about ourselves, but the ultimate goal should be longevity.
Simply shooting for shredded abs & a nice a$$ don’t help you have good performance in the gym or the endurance to play with your kids. They don’t help you have the energy to rock a presentation at work, have a clear mind & a happy soul.
Did you know Millennials, age 25-40, gained an avg of 41lbs during quarantine?!
Its time to expect more than motivation & aesthetics. We were made to be ACTIVE participants in life.
Increasing strength & endurance decreases fragility. Having optimal body fat percentages reduce the risk of disease.
Health & fitness are learned behaviors modeled by leaders in our society.
Fitness is a responsibility & concept in the same manner that we have agreed hate, lying, stealing, & abuse are detrimental to a well functioning community.
So the next time can you say, “Well I’m just not motivated.” Or you say you just want someone to tell you what to do without understanding the who, what, why, when, & how — think about being a role model for someone else.
Get off the bench, step on the court & lead by example. Because strong humans raise a strong future, & they are led by well-fed & educated men & women who train for life mf’s.🤘🏻🦾
