Fit for life

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

Many of you will know this already but exercising is my favourite hobby / pastime. From 2017 I was taken over by the fitness bug after having the most amazing personal trainer. She provided me with such an amazing experience and it was the first time I had ever since results. From that point on the gym has become more than just a place to work out, it is my happy place. There is something addictive about that rush of endorphins after a good session, the feeling of strength and energy that lingers long after I leave.

I love seeing my progress, lifting a little heavier, running a little faster, becoming fitter and feeling more confident in my body. It is not just about looking good (though that is a nice bonus I have to admit when you see changes), it is all about feeling good.

The gym also clears my mind. No matter what is going on outside, once the headphones go in or the gym class starts, everything else fades. Plus, it is a great way to meet new people who share that same drive to better themselves. I have met many of my good friends and even had positive changes to my life direction all from going to the gym.

For me, fitness is not just a hobby, it is a lifestyle that keeps me grounded, focused, and happy.

This was me skipping in Perth for the first time in years!

  1. Yes to all of this. Fitness that works long-term doesn’t come from punishment—it comes from tuning in, not checking out. If it doesn’t fit your life, it won’t stick. Love how you broke it down without selling some “new you” fantasy. Just a stronger, more sustainable version of who we already are. That’s the real flex.

  2. Good for you, Wayne!

    I caught the fitness bug during COVID (no pun intended), and I’ve continued to exercise every morning. I don’t want to be one of those folks who gets into their senior years and struggles to get around.

    Life goals! 🙂
