I have been told that working out is pure vanity. I admit there has to be some vanity involved, but I feel better when I train. Training regularly and eating clean fits with my goals of being able to continue to do more fun, physical things as I age, like carrying a 35 pound pack into the mountains for days.
I can second the sentiment of just wanting to look jacked. AND CONVENIENTLY I’m healthier for it. I eat more veggies, consume an optimal amount of protein, get my cardio done all for the sole purpose of being arm candy for my girlfriend. Performed a VO2max test the other day, 55mlO2/kg/min just from incline treadmill walking and a day of intervals a week. When trying to get jacked fails to motivate me, I think about preserving my health span.. The 👏🏼 two 👏🏼work 👏🏼 synergistically👏🏼
This is such good advice.
