Train for long term gain or train for short term gain
People have always heard of that one friend who asks the one who goes to the gym a lot to train ‘why do you even go to the gym?’. And you know that they know the answer. If they have any common sense they would know. It’s to keep fit and sustain a healthy lifestyle. You tell them this and they think that it’s stupid to go to the gym. They either think it’s stupid because they know that they should be moving more often. Or they are jealous of what you have achieved and they want exactly what you have.
Going to the gym to train for a long term gain
If you go to the gym a lot to stay fit and healthy that’s great. You feel good and you don’t have any weight issues to worry about. You might not work out as much as the person who is trying to lose 10 Kg. However, you don’t have to.

Going to the gym to train for a short term goal
If you go to the gym to train just to lose weight for a special event or the summer, then you are going to be left in the dust. You’re going to feel like you’ve got to the ideal weight and then you’re going to stop until you gain more weight and do the same all over again.

You start to resent going to the gym because it’s that place you go to lose weight. Instead of going to the gym all year round to be a healthy human. You decided to try and cheat the system that will keep on biting you on the ass every year.
