Be A Feeler, Not A Looker ;)
Was looking at a 2 year transformation photo I posted on insta today and I was thinking...
Man I bust my ass off 10 hours a week to get a couple of centimetres on my arms and legs and maybe a slightly bigger pair of shoulders...
Literally, that's it.
Why do I do this to myself?
Sometimes I even look at photos on my camera roll and think I looked better a couple years ago and in some photos I actually believe it.
This fitness game can play with your head!
Looking at photos when you were leaner, never feels good.
Never.
And after staring at photos for ages and writing my caption for insta, it hit me.
It's so much more than that.
It's the overall health.
The feeling I get during and after training genuinely cannot be beaten.
I feel fresh, clear headed and weirdly relaxed.
That's why I train everyday.
Sure, I love getting strong and trying to look good but I feel so good when I workout.
A rush that I need daily.
I feel like I'm leading by example to my family who could always be healthier.
I feel like I'm 'walking the walk' and living what I preach to my clients day in and day out.
I earn my food and I love training hard, filling up with carbs and knowing that I'm going to use those carbs the next day to smash some more weights.
I listen to a podcast and get in the zone. So I get physical gains and knowledge gains.
To be honest with you, even if my body didn't change from 2 years of training and maybe I even went backwards with my progress...
I would still do it.
There's too many other benefits it has on my life and so many other things that mean more than just "looking good".
Looking good is awesome and provides people with confidence that they've never possessed but once you look good, you need to feel good.
And that's what I want my clients to focus on at TBA (Team Brock Ashby).
LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD. FEEL GOOD, LIVE GOOD.
