Make Your Fitness Journey FUN

Here's a controversial statement:

Your fitness journey can be fun and easy.

Here's an even more controversial one:

It should be.

Our fitness level just describes our ability to do something.

In the case of physical fitness, it's often defined as our ability to move heavy objects, react quickly, and work for long times.

That's great if you like that kind of thing (I mean... I do), but not everyone does.

Instead of forcing "motivation" to make your body fit for something you don't like, why not choose something you enjoy and center your fitness program around that?

You may dread the idea of using the elliptical machine for hours and hours, but you might enjoy the idea of playing squash with your friends.

The process is simple:

1.) Find a passion or hobby that you like, PREFERABLY something somewhat physical.

2.) Hone your skills at that passion.

That's it.

I know it doesn't sound like a fitness program at all. It doesn't directly cultivate physical fitness.

Instead, it cultivates gumption.

It breeds determination to do the thing you love. You'll naturally want to get better at your craft. Lean into this energy.

For example, you may start playing squash and discover you need to be faster and stronger to improve.

THEN, working out has immediately observable effects. As you get better at your pushups and pullups, your squash game will improve. You won't have to wait months to see if you lose "belly fat" and always be looking in the mirror for incremental changes.

This way is a lot more fun.

Even if what you love is not physical at all, this can work.

Let's say all you want to do watch anime.

Instead of just watching it, write articles, make videos, and join clubs for it. Tell everyone about your theories, favorite parts, and random factoids.

This is not physical in the slightest, but your passion will breed motivation and life.

It'll give you a reason to get out of bed and move because you're doing what you love.

This inherently builds energy. You'd be amazed how much more mental energy you have when your entire life isn't a chore and you liven it up with passion.

THEN, if you choose to explore physical fitness, it'll be much easier to stick to a routine because you have more energy to expend.

Anyone can do this.

Passion and creation is a catalyst for life and ambition.

Let me know how it works for you.

"It's not a bug, it's a feature" that has been one of the most comforting thing I've heard

I should pop this whenever I feel like I'm useless. This channel definitely deserves more views.

I'm a singer, so I need a strong core for breath support and high energy levels for long performances, plus strength for lifting heavy musical equipment around. Your exercise routine has brought me a fun, relaxed way to work up the strength to be able to build on all of this. Thanks Hampton!!

Hampton, man, I love you. this content is really changing my life. Most of the time I just hate myself for everything, but watching this kind of videos makes everything a little bit clearer. I'm honestly grateful to have found you!

Most other fitness youtubers would go "if you can't do a pushup yet that's fine" and then the video moves on to more pushups. This guy understands people who are struggling with fitness, truly on another level.

I wanted to start exercising, but I always ended up giving up because most channels do a certain type of routine in order to lose weight and that's not my goal. I don't exercise and i don't have fun doing it, but i do want to be healthy and your channel is motivating me to do it for my goal and not for other people's perception of me. I love you

I live in AK where it's -40 half the year so staying inside and watching Netflix is very appealing! I've become quite addicted to your videos because nothing has seemed as motivational as you are! Thank you so much just for doing what you do!

I was just beating myself up for not being a tri-athlete, and not having ran a marathon. Like, wild stuff. I searched “enjoy your exercise” and this popped up. THANK YOU. I LOVE Walking and hiking with weight on my back, outside, and yoga, and getting stronger at calisthenics. I will pursue what I enjoy. Thank you 🙏🏾

This video is so important. I have to face the truth that being happy and satisfied about one (whole) self is way better and healthier than being happy just at the image reflected in the mirror. Now I'm trying to learn to work out when and if I feel like it, change my routine accordingly to my mood and value fun over "i must do this" mind set. Thank you for your words ♡

I love his baby step approach to everything. If it’s not just to be healthier, it’s also to be happier from smaller root points. 💚
