Here's a controversial statement:

Your fitness journey can be fun and easy.

Here's an even more controversial one:

It should be.

Our fitness level just describes our ability to do something.

In the case of physical fitness, it's often defined as our ability to move heavy objects, react quickly, and work for long times.

That's great if you like that kind of thing (I mean... I do), but not everyone does.

Instead of forcing "motivation" to make your body fit for something you don't like, why not choose something you enjoy and center your fitness program around that?

You may dread the idea of using the elliptical machine for hours and hours, but you might enjoy the idea of playing squash with your friends.

The process is simple:

1.) Find a passion or hobby that you like, PREFERABLY something somewhat physical.

2.) Hone your skills at that passion.

That's it.

I know it doesn't sound like a fitness program at all. It doesn't directly cultivate physical fitness.

Instead, it cultivates gumption.

It breeds determination to do the thing you love. You'll naturally want to get better at your craft. Lean into this energy.

For example, you may start playing squash and discover you need to be faster and stronger to improve.

THEN, working out has immediately observable effects. As you get better at your pushups and pullups, your squash game will improve. You won't have to wait months to see if you lose "belly fat" and always be looking in the mirror for incremental changes.

This way is a lot more fun.

Even if what you love is not physical at all, this can work.

Let's say all you want to do watch anime.

Instead of just watching it, write articles, make videos, and join clubs for it. Tell everyone about your theories, favorite parts, and random factoids.

This is not physical in the slightest, but your passion will breed motivation and life.

It'll give you a reason to get out of bed and move because you're doing what you love.

This inherently builds energy. You'd be amazed how much more mental energy you have when your entire life isn't a chore and you liven it up with passion.

THEN, if you choose to explore physical fitness, it'll be much easier to stick to a routine because you have more energy to expend.

Anyone can do this.

Passion and creation is a catalyst for life and ambition.

Let me know how it works for you.
