What do I enjoy about my present training (behavior, situation, etc.)? If can't find the fun, it's time to stop and search. Joy gives energy.

I've decided recently to NOT do sparring at boxing camp. Why? Because I'd only be doing it so I could tell people about it, and that's not consistent with why I train, which is to stay athletic and strong and have fun in the process.<BR/><BR/>I continue to love watching your journey!lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495166674226656034noreply@blogger.com
