What I've learned after 10 Years of training
This September marks 10 years since I first signed up at a gym.
I want to share with you the 3 biggest pillars that can help you adopt training as a non-negotiable part of your lifestyle.
My objective was clear: lose weight and build muscle - to get closer to that “fit ideal” we constantly see in TV shows, movies, and magazines.
Yes, it all started out of vanity. But it led me somewhere better: to eat healthier, to move more, and to care about my body before bad health ever appeared.
I – Have a goal. Start small. Aim to lose 3 kg of fat. Aim to bench press 50 kg, do your first pull-up, squat your bodyweight, or run 5k in under 25 minutes.
I still remember my first day and the nonsense workout I did, guided by their Muay Thai instructor. He saw me as a noob and gave me noob exercises. But it didn’t matter. Not at all.
I asked one of my closest friends, a regular gym-goer, for his routine. It was a bro split. I didn’t like it. But it didn’t matter. Not at all.
Then I started learning from YouTube channels - looking up the “best exercises” for each body part, the “best routines,” and so on.
II – Do what works for you. Try different things, then build your own routine. Make it 80% exercises you enjoy, and 20% exercises you know you need.
The last pillar is about excuses.
If you keep postponing your workouts “just because,” something has to change. Identify what it is.
If your gym is too far, find a closer one. If there isn’t one, go fewer times per week (1–2) but spend more time when you do go.
Once you feel the urge to train more, start adding home workouts.
If you think you have “no time,” check your phone screen time. Then decide what your true priority is between the two.
For any other “custom excuse,” ask your AI of choice to help you eliminate it.
III – Mindset shift. Make fitness a priority in your life, and you’ll stop making excuses and start making time to get going.
