Why do I LOVE to train?

This is a question I’m asked on a regular basis. It may not be this exact wording, but people are more often than not interested (or concerned) why I train like I do. They wonder why I go to the gym 6 days a week and eat the same foods. It’s not all for superficial reasons, although staying committed does whip that booty into good shape! It’s about getting stronger, healthier and loving the person I am.

Here’s a few reasons why I love to train:

To challenge myself

To achieve goals

To build character (really, it does)

To increase confidence

To age more healthily

To be an inspiration to other’s
To be knowledgeable so I can help other’s

To practice what I preach

To feel the good burn baby!

To feel more energized everyday

To feel happy

To relieve stress (wow does it work!)

To look better naked :)

To give me a sense of accomplishment

To brighten my mood

To support my disciplined personality

To help my mind

To love myself—without self love, it’s truly hard to give love
