Exercise is about creating energy and flow in your life. Being strong enough to support you in all the things you may want to experience. It creates movement that allows you to truly live.
It’s wonderful to have aesthetic goals but unless you’re a professional bodybuilder or model where your income is attached to your physique, have the self-awareness to realize that aesthetics are an exterior benefit. You want to look and feel good in and out of your clothes. That’s a positive and I absolutely encourage that because it allows you to engage in and enjoy intimacy with your partner.
True health is about being able to pick up and play with your kids if you’re a parent. Taking a dip in the sea or walking to that gorgeous vista while on holiday and having the endurance to enjoy the beauty around you. Moving through life with ease and grace.
One time I was locked out of my house. I used my climbing skills to shimmy along a terrace wall and then my balancing skills to get across the railing and finally a solid jump down with a bounce to protect my knees. Being fit let me do this with confidence.
