Stop exercising and start training

 

I'm a bit conflicted about this wisdom on the meme. It's a screenshot I took from an article, making a point that is highly debatable.

Isn't life a journey? Should we not enjoy the trip? But the article says one should focus on a goal, like going to the gym to exercise, to accomplish something at a later date. While that's true, how about going for a walk, why have an end goal in sight? Why not just enjoy the walk, while also having an end point in mind?

Few people enjoy a gym, that's why so many people stop going before their contracts expire. Those that stick it out all have goals, like losing some weight that they can measure, or a certain number of exercises they can perform, or to get fit for an athletic event. But the artificial exercise itself they don't really enjoy, at least not day after day. They keep on going, because they keep their goal in mind.

In my humble opinion, one should enjoy the steps as well towards a goal one is passionate about. Keep an eye on the goal, but admire the scenery while enjoying the journey at the same time.

To get myself fit, I dropped out of gym, and started walking through the woods with a backpack. It doesn't feel like exercise, but it certainly helped my physique a lot. I enjoy each step, while being happy when I reach a certain point on the route.

 

Your priorities explain why you look like you look like :D

 I wish more people would pay attention to this. Priorities. So many people are stupid enough to screw up their future by doing things that jeopardize their long-term happiness. People wanting instant satisfaction, and in the process destroying a bigger satisfaction in the future just around the corner, with deceit and lies. They don't succeed in fooling anyone but themselves. What people prioritize are there for everyone to see.

Your Habits Today determine What You Will be Tomorrow

 Habits today determine success or failure tomorrow. Establish a firm routine full of good habits, and stick to it. Reprogram your mind for success, do exercise daily and eat non-processed foods for a healthy body, and you're set for a life filled with happiness and success.

Hiking is nature's medicine for peace

Hiking! Who else likes going for a walk with a backpack through the woods, seeing some breathtaking scenery, feeling that energy and peace around you, and warm sunlight baking all sorrows away. No better exercise without it feeling like that, while enjoying nature and taking photos. Or a brisk walk early in the morning, just as the sun rises over a new beginning.

 

Reprogram your mindset for guaranteed weight-loss

Not strictly a meme, rather a screenshot I took of a guy in a RV group I belong to. This Dennis Ladyzhensky was... uhm... overweight, but just look at the remarkable difference in a few short months. To accomplish it, the first and most important thing he did was to get his mindset right. He reprogrammed his mind to change his beliefs about food and exercise, then it was easy to build certain habits to permanently lose that much weight. The secret is, changing your mind, in order to adapt new healthy habits that will stick. It really is as simple as that!
