Ground Up Strength

I hate bootcamps. They are reinforcing the notion that exercise is "work", pain, and that it is something that is difficult to do, therefore you need someone to force it upon you. I don't like smashing my thumb with a hammer, but I don't pay someone to yell at me and force me to do it. Mentally its the same thing. It's a bit of a drastic example, lol, but that is something I would despise doing and would resist doing at all costs. Some people view exercise as a hammer lined up over their thumb. Enjoying the activity and having a genuine interest in something is what makes anything sustainable.

Absolutely! And I don't think it is that drastic and example really. When you are involved in it as we are you can easily underestimate the negative attitudes that people at large have about exercise. People that view exercise as an enjoyable and rewarding experience, from what I can tell, seem to be in the minority. The kind of comments I see about exercise in general are very close to the kind of comment you'd make if you smashed your thumb with a hammer…I can't repeat them on a "family" site like GUS.

For sure.
