It’s been a few years since I was a regular at a gym. It was easier when I wasn’t commuting, or working late, or attending post-work events, or hosting a dinner party or some other reason. The strange thing was that I fell out the gym habit rather suddenly. I had been training regularly since my student days so I couldn’t understand my complete and sudden lack of interest and motivation…
