 Why I train consistently:

-I want to age gracefully
-I want strong musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems
-I want to keep up with my kids
-I want to keep my immune system strong 
 Notice how I didn’t say aesthetics 
 I have to say, aesthetics help make the case to loved ones that it’s a journey worth embarking on. It gives me credibility. Projecting beauty and confidence is good as long as pride doesn’t creep in. 
 100% it’s definitely a nice bonus. Helps to motivate loved ones. But it shouldn’t be the goal. Unless that’s your job than go for it. But for regular people, the functional side of it should be the goal 
 Agreed. 
 I did. My husband goes for all this, but loves being hot😀 
 my wife says the same. to be fair, she trains too so win-win 😂😂 
 I don't. But I'm eight years younger, still got time🫢😅 
 Seems like you’re already getting the workouts in, with all the burying 😂

 Nah, that just makes my back hurt like hell🤨 
 😂 
 This is exactly it. 
 function over looks 🫡 
 I’m 9 years older than my wife, I need to be here for her as long as I can. 
 Very responsible and thoughtful of you 🦾
Followed!

 Accurate 😂 
 Yup. If you don’t, you die. Horribly. And younger than expected.  
Do moar. Moar. 
 This is true. And no one’s coming to save us 🫡 
 Absolutely nobody. Actually it can go the other way. You will encounter people that will push hittin the bar & other shit over hitting the gym or rink (my gym). 
Be fat & miserable like me crowd. Nah. 
 That’s something I often think about. Why is it that the bar has a much better rep than training and drinking water. Then I think about bread and circus… 
 It’s a cycle. Gotta break it at the family level. 
“Wait till you’re 21, then you can drink attitude.”  Fuck that. 
It’s very ingrained in the US culture & most to be honest. 
 Definitely. Most of the western world thinks this way. 

That’s the key, the family level. Kids see you being active and they’ll want to do the same. Start them young with classes, just to get them moving at first
