The Zen of Weight Lifting
I&#x27;ve tried a few times to get into weightlifting. I can never stick with it, though.<p>It&#x27;s not necessarily a self-discipline thing, because I&#x27;ve run thousands of miles over the past decade. When you run, you get outside, you go somewhere, you see and feel different things. There&#x27;s a race ecosystem that encourages you to get in when you can barely run a mile without stopping and allows you to push yourself as much as you want. It&#x27;s cheaper to start, it&#x27;s easy to create routes that are as varied as you want them to be, and if you pick the right spots it&#x27;s safer.<p>But the gym is the same sights, smells, and sounds over and over again. I wish I enjoyed it more; I love how I feel when I stick with it for a couple months! Any tips on this?
