The difference between exercise and Training

Who likes to exercise?

No one I have met likes exercise, but a lot of people enjoy training.

What is the difference? Training solves specific problems; it has a purpose; it gives your life additional meaning.

So, training isn't a life hack. I'm troubled by how some experts treat exercise as a life hack or a health hack. Lessons like: Just do these three things while lying on your back to flip on your fat-burning switch, which no one has told you about.

Take these three hacks Roger Federer does every time he trains to be able to play like him..

The Netflix documentary Icarus gives you a lot of them.

The expert advice misleads us.

Hacks give the impression we can get away with the bare minimum indefinitely. That we can cherry-pick what we need to do, and we don’t have to stick to the process William outlines for us.

Training enriches your life. But you need to apply critical thinking to what you are training; why you are doing it, and the specific lessons you need to gain from your training.

• You can't hack your way to weight loss.
• You can't skimp on training to build muscle.
• You can’t guess what movements will reduce your back pain.

You have to put in the work; as soon as you get stronger, you have to vary your movements, improve the quality of your effort. To improve your health, you need to change your diet; which means less alcohol and reduce the amount of Pizza you have in a week.

Limitations and obstacles

I haven’t recently spoken to anyone who clearly understands what is possible for them physically.

We talk about training in the context of overcoming our limitations and, more importantly, to exceed what we think we can do; yet we grossly underestimate our potential.

Olympic Athletes and people who compete in rock climbing might know what they can do physically, but are unlikely to really know what else they can do.

We know in our work or in our business what we can or can’t do, but few know what they are physically capable of.

But, we mustn’t rely just on motivation to do exercise; it sucks; instead, we need to pay attention to our unique reasons to train.

We need to be inspired to work with our limitations to build a better life.

When we work in this way, it tailors our goals, likes, work, relationships, and purpose.

The perfect reason to train

It is for someone who knows they have limitations, but cares more about improving what they currently have.

Someone curious about what is possible for them. Someone who wants a behind the scenes look at what training, good coaching, and performance are about.

But don't be concerned; it is mainly about improving what you already have, consistently and over time.

If you are a reasonable person, you see your life as your purpose, the work you do, the relationships you have and what is possible physically, taking into account your?limited time and energy.

You are excited by, and you get withdrawal symptoms from not training. You even feel bad and sick from missing out.

Don't; it is called life.
