Min fysiske og mentale transformation: kampsport og fitness

Today I am here to tell you guys about a story, that has been a big part of my life. I hope you enjoy it.

I usually never like to exercise. I have always tried to avoid any kind of exercise my whole life, until I found out about martial art. In December 2017, I started trying martial art, Japanese Ju-Jutsu. Since the day I started, I've been crazy about martial sport. Another reason why I started was that Otto already went to it. Since I started, I really got into it. Ju-Jutsu is an ancient martial sport, which is composed of many different methods, which are also found in other martial sports. It can be said that it is a mixture of Karate, Judo and Aikido. Meanwhile, Chresten also decided to try out Ju-Jutsu. And since then, he has been my regular training companion. Now you might ask “Why don’t you train with your friend Otto who got you into martial art in the first place?”. Well the answer to that is very simple, he started earlier than us and is a lot better, and I mean A LOT. In 2019 I chose to go all in, in a sense that I wanted to transform my psychical appearance and get my mental health onto the next level. So, I started in a fitness center. At that time, I didn't know that much about training and exercises. I was just trying to get in better shape. I started out with training cardio and then went to pump. My cardio was mainly running, and my exercises to pump were some machines, to train the upper-body and my legs. I wanted to make my muscles bigger. At the time I did not care about my diet, because I did not know anything about diets and healthy food, but after a while I found out that it means approximately 70-80% of one's body structure (if you want to get in very good shape). A little while ago, I started to track my calories and nutrition, which sucked, since it was a big change for me and it was very hard for me to get used to it. Many people find it difficult to find motivation, that really strengthens them. The most important thing that drove me is the look of my body. I often saw people with a prettier body than me. It gave me the desire and urge to train and get my dream body.
