DN Opinion. Finally I have left the kroppshetsen in the gym

I am gymfri for the first time in six years, and it is the best decision I have taken for my health. Training should basically just be about to feel better, both mentally and physically. But it can easily be the reverse, but that you yourself understand it.

It is reasonably something wrong when the anxiety is strong before lagging to the weight of the country, when it is devilishly boring well in place and when the relief that the session is over is the only positive feeling you take home with him. What then has driven one to walk there early morning in all these years?

the Cast to achieve the perfect body is always around us. Via social media accessed it several times a day, in the movies, it appears that 90 per cent of the world's population are bodybuilders, and just at the gym are a constant presence of muskelknuttarna.

than mine to resist trying to reach what is being painted as the ideal look. A daily, constant critical glance in the mirror – sometimes happy, more often than not. Would, however, be pleased, for once, there is always someone who shatters a when you walk into the gym, and it is hopeless to not compare themselves with others.

There is always a healthy bit of the head that tells them that it is only about the relatively inconsequential appearance, you should take it a bit calmer. Why torment him several times a week if it does not lead to something more important? With the tankesnurren it is not difficult to lose motivation.

Why exercise gym training at all then? In short, it is in my opinion damn much better looking with a fit body. But the constant pursuit of drömkroppen must come to an end. There are lots of things that I value higher, purely intellectual.

it is more important to be empathic, show respect, and accept that we are all different, for example. But on the emotional level is valued the surface is still far too high. As magrutorna puts you in the tray together with the managed – rather an idiot with a six-pack than the thoughtful but.

It could not possibly be someone who enjoys vitsas at the gym. But there must be those who feel that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which have a goal with what they do or value it so high without the need to criticize it. There may be those who think it is fun?

Training must be healthier, because it is, after all, the better you'll feel – not worse. The first step for me was to lay down gymträningen, and it is something I should have done a while ago. With that said, should not the exercise itself cease, you just have to find their thing – which is easier said than done.

then I play division 6 football together with the sweetest bunch. It gives no biceps, but it brings joy, uppskrapade knees and fully okay condition. Above all, it is something that I look forward to all the days in the week, think it is fun in the meantime and harking back to when the workout is over.
