@PureA This is PURE GOLD.
Thanks for taking the time to write this post. PureAwesome
I resonate SO much with you and can't be more alligned. I admit I just agree 100%. I mean 100%.
I came to be a freaking nerd on diet and sleep and got to the very same conclussions, not even sure what to add. You made a perfect summary of the most important aspects.
In my case, the thing I am always kind of short is lifting at the gym.
I do exercise, I love sports, been a football player all my life and now I play tennis everyweek. Anyways, I know I should be lifting by this time (32 years old) but I can't get myself to do it.
My mental barriers are:
1. I work at home, value my time maybe a bit too much. Also, I got to hate commuting at my first and only 1 year job. So going to the gym feels like losing 30 minutes just commuting... + 1 hour lifting.
2. Because of my genetics, I have always been in good shape, and I only need little bit of sport and some cardio (at home?) to maintain it.
3. Becasuse number 2, I think I can get 80% of the lifting benefits (With the exception of getting hyper-strong) just by doing some 10minutes HIIT at home.
4. I tried it for 2-3 months some time ago and found lifting just plain boring (in comparison to playing football or tennis)
What's your take on this?
Inside me there is a voice that compells me to lift but I just don't.
How the hell can I take myself to lift?
