How is your quarantine going?

Mine is quite terrible, frankly. Too much time to think is never a good idea.

Regardless, my motivation to workout is close to zero; I don’t particularly enjoy workouts without weights, and seriously struggle to find a good workout from home program in the internet jungle. They’re either too simple or too advanced for my level – why is it so hard to find a good intermediate level? (yes, I’m begging for suggestions)

I probably worked out three times in the last month. It’s a vicious circle: I don’t feel like working out because knowing how hard it’s going to be scares the hell out of me. Still, if I don’t get started, it will never get better. I lost track of how many times I started and then quit, then started again, and again, and again. This is why I know extremely well how that first dramatic month works, and how great is the feeling of improved strength, resistance, technique, and how pumped one feels to see the first small results.

Still, this period of isolation is really worsening my self-sabotaging attitude: zero motivation, zero will to do things, I just wanna lay in bed all day and do nothing. I realise how it was never lack of time, it was lack of discipline.

It’s going to get better, I promise it to myself. For now, I really need to push myself even to wear gym clothes.
