I had an on off relationship with lifting for the last 12 years.
But as I got more busy I became less active. And especially after the first lockdowns, I remember that walking was somewhat hard.
And so, after burning out and quitting my job last year [0], I went to travel and focus on myself. I started to lift regularly. After eventually settling down, I now lift 4 times a week and box one time a week.
I feel way better. I look great and even my wife gives me compliments. And more important, no matter how bad I feel, going to the gym and lifting always seems to improve the mood and generate new ideas.
