Whilst I’m all for a bit of lower intensity gym cardio increasing calorie expenditure on busy days or some zone 2 work to build your aerobic base…
It’s very hard to stay consistent with it and do it multiple times a week
Why? Because it’s f**king boring
Try and reconnect with your childhood playful and competitive side…
And if you’ve never really had one then try and find something you can enjoy that makes movement feel more like play
It’s much easier to get in shape when you have that outlet
Gym based cardio will for sure teach you patience but it won’t improve your leadership skills, work other components of fitness like coordination, speed, reaction time and balance or give you an opportunity to make friends and have a social outlet
Especially if you’re based in the city, there are opportunities to play sports everywhere
Get off then bike, treadmill and gym and get out of your comfort zone
