#11-Is Training Supposed to Be Fun? How to Make Workouts Enjoyable and Sustainable

Welcome back to the BTT Podcast with Bishop and Reggie. In this episode, we tackle a question that a lot of people struggle with on their fitness journey: Is training supposed to be fun? And if it is, how do you actually make it that way? We break down the balance between discipline and enjoyment in fitness, and talk about why making your workouts more enjoyable may be one of the most important keys to consistency and long-term results. From favorite exercises and rep ranges to gym atmosphere, workout partners, playlists, injury prevention, and choosing activities you can actually stick with, this conversation is all about making training something you can sustain for life. We also dive into the reality that not every workout is going to feel amazing — sometimes you have to push through when you don’t feel like it. But if your overall training style is something you genuinely enjoy, you’re much more likely to stay on track. In this episode, we talk about: Is working out supposed to be fun?
