So good to be back in the gym. I can seriously feel how happy my soul gets from just entering a gym environment. The gym is my HAPPY PLACE. It's where I can be in "the zone," just focus on me and my body. And forget about everything else for a while. No "must does", no stress, no problems. Just pure LOVE. It is an amazing feeling to feel your body working, your heart rate racing, your breathe speeding up, your muscles fighting and fatiguing..... I love the feeling of pushing my body until there's nothing left. It makes me feel like a winner, every time. Satisfaction. Happiness. Peace. But I also LOVE training sessions where I just listen to my body and do what it feel like doing. I call it recovery sessions . Foam rolling, stretching, handstands, playing.... it is like medicine for the body and soul. TRAINING gives me so much. It makes me a better person. It makes me happier, stronger, smarter, sharper and even appreciating life and my ability to move even more. I love it. and I know how important it is for me to have it regularly, everyday of my life. And that's what i am trying to encourage more people to do. Incorporate physical activity to your daily life. I'm not saying you should push yourself until there's nothing left everyday.... what I am saying is that you should try to move your body somehow EVERYDAY. It can be just taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or going for a walk on your lunch break. It doesn't have to be hard, time-consuming or boring to be active. Give it a try. it will help you to become a stronger, happier and healthier version of you! # breakitandyouwillmakeit
