I just started working out again and I feel good. Luckily I have equipment at home so the virus didn't stop me, I just had to take a break for a few months because of injury.
I remember a few years ago I wasn't interested in working out at all but now it's part of my habits. I'm stronger, I look better, and best of all I feel better. I guess I used to think it was all about vanity, and a lot of people work out for that reason including myself to some degree, but I like that it's a challenge. I like that it forces me to not be lazy and put in work, and that if I don't do it consistently I don't get the rewards. It's a self-contained feedback loop.
I think I also like that exercise and working out is exerting control. I think it's easy for people to feel helpless, like they have little to no control over their lives. I guess I used to feel like that sometimes. But working out reminds me that that's not true, and I can change things even if it takes time. When you exercise you are taking control of your heatlh. You don't get stronger after one or two workouts, but after a few months you can see clear progress, which has been a very fulfilling feeling.
