I watched this I worked out like David Goggins video in youtube, which is a body transformation video in 100 days. I liked how he shows the entire progress, the pain and his mindset explaining how he overcame the pain and laziness.
He seems to be an ardent follower of David Goggins, who I don’t know much about. But the hype is more around how hard he works out, how strong he is and he looks like someone who gives loud motivational voiceover for workout videos.
I have watched quite a lot of body transformation videos in my short life span. Most of them required very rigorous change in lifestyle and lot of privilege as well. You need time. which is the most privilege. And you need people to take care of you, your work load and stuff. You need to located in a place to get food and supplies easily. All these comes into factor. Above all these, you need imminent will power and consistency which I hugely respect.
Even in the video I watched today, he mentions how little time he gets to spend with his girlfriend, and how she gets upset most of the 100 days. at the end of the video, he gives a little acknowledgement but I felt a little bad for her.
I always felt, toxic productivity and rapid transformation in a very short span of time is not effective and highly torturous in nature. Watching this video gave a similar kind of feeling. But I also had some reflections.
I am LAZY there is no denying in that. I have been hurting my health for a very long time. I have never been consistent in working out or any physical activity. I always came up with reasons. Always stayed within my comfort zone. Never went beyond. as much as I say, having time and space to have a healthy lifestyle is a privilege, I should also say, I have that privilege.
I don’t have a job now. I don’t have a strict schedule or anything as such. I can obviously spend more than 2 hours for working out and running. I can squeeze the time if I have at least little bit of intent. But I am not doing so.
With this reflection, I am going to start working out from tomorrow. I’ll update more on my progress later.
