I've had issues with sticking with exercise all my life and at some point I figured out that it has to be really fun for me to want to do it. When I lived in Sydney close to the beach I was always itching to go to play beach volleyball and I still miss it. Here in London I decided to go to Krav Maga and it has the quadruple benefit of being fun, learning a really useful skill, building confidence in not being afraid of confrontations (the office boss kind of, not trying to pick bar fights) and being a very serious workout as well. Highly recommend Krav Maga, it is much more approachable than one would think, for anyone!



+10 to Krav Maga. From a second person perspective:

My partner has been doing KM for 2-3 times a week for over a year now and since then I see clearer thinking, responding instead of reacting, better sleep quality, losing weight as her gains. I am inspired, while I play badminton 3-4 times a week for 3/4 to an hour to stay sane, needless to say she finds time to play with me!

@jnsaff, I would say stick to KM and kudos for cultivating such a habit.
