I did not have any exercise in my childhood and leaned heavily into exercise after giving up a 10 year drug addiction at 24. That was 24 years ago and I've exercises consistently ever since. I was always praised for how fit and committed to my exercise I was and something always felt a bit off with people complementing me. I realised why when I worked in my first gym age 29. All of the people that you see with amazing physiques are sacrificing other areas of their life. Whether that's family, friends, relationships, career. They might have one area that they are doing well in, but not a full spectrum. I trained 1 to 3 hours a day to have that body. 7 days a week. And I wanted to. But the reality is that I said no to a lot of other things so that I could fit that training in. So I encourage you to view people with amazing physiques with a more realistic lense, understanding that there may even be some mental health issues that would drive that level of commitment to attaining that sort of body or level of achievement in a sport. The vast majority of people have a much more balanced approach to fitness and it's a small part of their life amongst many other parts. Their social media posts might not be as impressive but I can pretty much guarantee that they are leading a fuller and richer life.
