Im hoping to be strong and flexible my whole life. Right now trying to do the first week of these pushups (on my knees bc Im so weak). Whats your daily exercise goals and do you have people in your life to keep you accountable? I do not 😔

I’ve got more than a few decades on this body, but have found (for me) I have to find activities I really enjoy to keep me motivated. I feel more motivated to do other training and a lot of stretching when I approach it that way. I took up bouldering and pole vaulting.
I get invested in other athletes successes, and it amplifies my investment in myself. The days I really don’t feel like practicing are the days I force myself to go. That approach has really helped me.
I love disc golf and any game really, and Id like to look like Dwayne Johnson but dont have the funds for all the calories required ðŸ˜. Do you have people that invite you to bouldet or pole volt with you?
I feel like it’s just a matter of showing up to something I’m passionate about. Honestly, I’ve found it difficult to lower my time preference for future health/performance. So forcing myself to join a PV club or just going to a climbing gym got me on the right track. Part of that for me was understanding my intentions. The social aspect really helped, but I needed to know I could/will continue regardless.
