My first proper taste of training was late 2008 when I started running. But I very quickly got involved in lifting weights during my time in the military (2009-2012).
The way the physical sessions were conducted in the army developed enormous mental strength. Which plays a massive factor regardless of what your fitness goals are.
The key areas that I personally like to focus on are:
Bodybuilding - Building muscle mass
Strength Training - Increasing your ability to lift heavy
Gymnastics - Everything from Walking on your hands to exceptional core conditioning
Calisthenics - Focussing on manipulating your own bodyweight
Endurance running - 5k, 10k, 20k, 26.3 miles you name it
Weight loss - Lifestyle adjustments through nutrition and physical activity level
To date, one of my proudest achievements in the training world was my second Edinburgh marathon in 2018 wearing my 9kg weighted vest.
