Bo knew that to look and perform like an athlete he needed to train, not just exercise. |
There is a big difference between exercising and training. Training is what an athlete does to prepare for competition, or what a tactical athlete does to prepare to save his or someone else's life. Training has a purpose, merely exercising can lead to a lack of motivation and burnout. The following quote is from an article written by Charles Staley called "Exercisers and Athletes":
"Exercisers are almost always engrossed in (and defined by) negative
themes involving pain and restriction. But athletes are far more likely
to think in terms of PR’s and personal achievement. They tend to compare
themselves to the best, not the worst. They’re chasing excellence, not
running from corpulence."
Think about your workout routine. Are you beating your previous records in weight lifted or time periods you work in like a athlete would, or are you just going through the motions every day?
