'I hate everything we do, but I like the result'
Well I'm glad you like the result but if you hate the work, go find something you like. You shouldn't be miserable chasing your goals. There is no easy way out, but there should be some physical activity you like.?. Don't like the gym, take up surfing.
'I hate everything we do, but I like the result'
This statement always gets under my skin, but gives me some good practice at self control. I get to hear it a lot. Be clear in your goals, be clear about the results you want, for goodness sake, start being a bit realistic.

life and training is all about the journey; the destination is one brief moment in time that will come and go and become a faded memory with only picture of rememberance or maybe a trophy that soon looses its emotional appeal. the journey can take years, decades.


not only should you stop and smell the roses, you should watch the bees and feel the texture of the petal and the prick of the thorn.
 
Primordial Athletics is all about the effort required to bring about change, to rise above the status quo. 
despite the latest crap on late night tv and whatever fad happens to be passing through the era, there is no quick fix, (not a healthy one at any rate), there is no easy way. Gyms are full of people enslaved to the local market machine mentality that never go anywhere. 20 years down the track they are exactly the same as when they began. don't spin in circles. find something you enjoy.
find something you like
find something you love.
 
you should be saying 'i love what we do and i love the results'
 
don't like busting your ass in my training sessions?
take up surfing,
become an amature runner
take up athletics
join a softball league
take up martial arts
hell, become an yoga yogi.
 
yes we get great results, but you should look foward to your sessions, not dread them. Life is full enough of hard slogs.
love what you do
and
invest in yourself with effort.
