It’s normal to struggle with gym motivation. However the pros outweigh the cons. Every time I start back I remember how much more energy and confidence I have when I’m actively working out. Not to mention the mental health benefits of knowing everyday I have gym time to myself.

I’m 38 and still very active. I am often mistaken for 28 and even younger if I shave. Your appearance is not only important for you, but it’s important to your partner. Also, appearance might even go a long way in your professional life.

Does your college have a gym? If not, I would suggest either finding a new gym or stick with the one you have. Again, use that time for yourself too. Listen to audiobooks, podcasts, or just enjoy being alone in your thoughts while pushing yourself physically.

It does have one but the price is pretty steep. Coming into college I thought I’d be able to maintain my body with my regular nightly workout but I stopped doing it around December after I got covid.
