Hey Guys!
When we work out we develop physical strength. We are completely aware of this, but we may not be aware of the other strengths we develop through training.
Like I said in a previous post, there are multiple types of strength. When we work out we strengthen our bodies. We increase our physical strength, but we do so much more than that.
When we take this journey in the world of improving our health and fitness we are also strengthening our resolve. We decided to make a positive change to better our health or appearance. We chose to become stronger.
Many people are afraid to make this change. They are afraid of exercising, eating healthy, or both, and that can be for many different reasons. Others may not have the confidence to exercise in front of others. Others are simply too lazy or resistant to change.
So we are also developing character strengths like confidence and courage. We are becoming confident in ourselves, our appearance, and our abilities. We are less fearful of change. We are able to express ourselves with our bodies, which requires internal and external strength.
We also show strength of willpower when we take this journey. We constantly push through no matter how hard or frustrating that journey gets because we have strength of faith. Faith that we will live longer, healthier lives. Faith that we can do anything we set our minds to.
All of these strengths will carry over into our other activities and daily lives. You may not realize it, but we are developing, becoming stronger versions of ourselves all through training.
Through strength training we achieve true strength.
If you always put limits on what you can do, physically or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.
