Key Takeaways

  • Focusing on training and not just on exercising could potentially give you purpose and excitement.
  • If you’re struggling to be motivated on your workout routines now, maybe it's time to take a step back and reminisce about what made you excited when you trained before.
  • If you’re planning to transform your workout routine into something that makes you feel enjoyable, have a plan around that you feel confident with.
  • There’s nothing wrong if you choose to be in your experimental phase.

  • Quotes

    “There’s no right or wrong way of being an athlete, of being a former athlete, or someone who just enjoys exercise in general.” - Emily [10:26]
