Physical activity that you enjoy doesn’t necessarily have to be easy and gentle, and you don’t necessarily have to enjoy it every minute. We often get more satisfaction from workouts that challenge our abilities and motivate us to overcome fears and obstacles.

When you stop associating sports with calories to burn or body parts to change, you’ll find it easier to understand how useful and meaningful certain exercises are for you. To find out if a particular workout is right for you, ask yourself three questions at the end:
- Do I feel better about myself?
- Do I have a more positive outlook on the world around me or the future?
- Do I like my place in the world?
If you answered yes to at least two of the questions, you are on the right track.
