David Boyle's Hilarious Gym Revelation: Embracing the Quitter's Mentality
Honestly, if you haven't been to the gym in a while and you've been wanting to go and you've been feeling a little bit fucking depressed or angry at yourself for not making it down there, just get up, go to the gym, walk in and if you're not feeling the vibe, just walk out, fill up your fucking water bottle with cold water and walk the fuck out.
Ever felt like the gym is a battlefield you're just not ready for? Comedian David Boyle gets it. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle humorously recounts his return to the gym after a five-week break. But instead of the usual 'go hard or go home' mantra, he introduces a refreshing twist: the quitter's mentality. Boyle's approach is simple yet profound—just show up. No need to break a sweat or push your limits right away.
His goal was merely to walk into the gym and, if it didn't feel right, walk right out. This laid-back strategy helped him tackle his anxiety and depression, making the daunting task of exercise seem more manageable. Boyle's candid and funny take on fitness is a breath of fresh air in a world full of intense workout regimens and motivational speeches. His advice? Start small, set easy goals, and gradually build up.
So next time you're dreading the gym, remember Boyle's words: it's okay to be a quitter sometimes. Just showing up is a victory in itself.
