I come from a competitive sport and after an injury that left me contemplating my future in a sport I'm not doing professionally I find myself in a slump and not motivated to train, I have no goals relevant to the sport and that use to be my motivation for training, I am however obsessed with health and approaching training as a form of honoring my body and reaping the physical benefits as a result and not the goal is a great shift of perspective!

Training with a different perspective
