WHEN I FIRST became interested in working out a decade ago, the first thing I wanted to know was how much time I needed to dedicate to it. As a scrawny nerd at the time, I wasn’t exactly thinking about discipline. I only wanted to know so I’ll have an idea of how much time I would have left for World Of Warcraft and parties.
According to some friends in the scene, I’d need to put in three hours a week, in two separate 90-minute sessions. That seemed doable for a single 19-year-old who was fast becoming skinny fat.
So I tried it, kept at it, and soon had it become a constant in my life. No matter how busy I was, no matter what came up, I would make time to work out, decompress and focus on myself. After all, even a bad workout is better than none at all.
