Wanted to get "fit", so I bought a gym membership and started working out for 3 hours every single day having no idea what I was doing. As time went on and I began to study more and more and learn how to train more and more effectively, my progress just kept on coming, as the discipline was already there.

For a while now, though, the point of my athletic training has little to do with bodybuilding. I am an amateur mixed martial artist, so my training focuses either on strength, endurance, speed, or whatever else I can do in the gym to allow myself to excel in combat.

I enjoy a hobby that you have to make sacrifices for in order to obtain reward. It's nice to do something extra that I can reap the benefits of that takes willpower and determination to do.
