It's an obsession

I've been lifting for nearly 2 years now, it still suprises me just how much I love it! It's a rest day today and all I can think about is lifting. I've always gone to the gym but cardio has never had the same attraction as limiting, it's life changing!

FUNNY...I am the exact opposite!! I find cardio addicting!! I hate weight, machines, strength, toning, etc. I find it easier to schedule and easier to commit to cardio. That is my one goal for 2014....I want to somehow work strength training into my schedule at least twice a week.
By the way....not a bad thing to be addicted to if you ask me!! I'm just sayin'!!! :bigsmile:0 -
good for you! a healthy addiction.
I was once addicted to cardio (machines) but I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere so I switched to walking/jogging outside and now I love it. It feels like I'm getting a better workout.
I just seriously started heavy lifting not long ago and while I am in no way addicted to lifting (it hurts so bad, lol) I am addicted to the results!0 -
I've always preferred lifting. I just love the power!! And the muscles!! And I could never grasp those aerobic moves, hate running, the bike is boring, what else is there for cardio? I take walks or hikes, and they're a bit tedious to me, too. So, pass me a set of dumbbells!!

I'm jealous. None of my addictions are healthy.0

The thing I like about lifting is the rush from beating my personal best. It's so trackable and easy to see the progression on paper.0

I like being a bit obsessed, it keeps me going back to the gym
I love the feeling of being in my own body after a good workout.0 -

Yes, that. I can deal with slow mirror progress if I'm seeing gains in strength.0
