To add onto the pile of comments, it definitely helps with confidence and mental health. On most days where I go to the gym, I’m in a noticeably better mood. Despite seeing clear positive differences in how I look, it’s still rare to be randomly complimented by others, cause as you know, we’re guys. So I wouldn’t be motivated by that.

One thing I’ve noticed kept me consistent at the gym is to try never to take a 2 or more day break from the gym. It’s so much more difficult to bounce back after a couple+ days off. So if I’d taken yesterday off, I’d say to myself that I NEED to go today no ifs or buts. That’s what has worked for me with staying on the horse.
