I love this blog post! It speaks so many truths. Being an athlete for life means being fit, healthy and pursuing a clean, green lifestyle. I have played soccer since I was 3.5 years old and I can honestly say I have met the most awesome people and traveled to the most beautiful places. Participating in sports simply allows you to find out who you are <3

My fave: there is no perfect time to try something new. You have to just DO IT. Tomorrow won’t seem any easier than today. Do it now, and be stronger than your excuses. It will be so worth it.

Nailed it.

I absolutely LOVED this post Jordan! Each of your points resonates with me as a fellow fitness addict. Fitness adds so much to my life- happiness, confidence, meaningful relationships, and a sense of calm and I can’t imagine my life without my fitness regime. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Hi Jordan! I most resonate with the idea that exercise is a de-stressor and adds more compassion to your life. I am in the process of starting over (with cycling training/racing) after a myriad of health issues over the past few years, and it is kicking my butt!!! It’s like EVERY workout is a struggle, but the more I get into it, and the more I remember what it’s like to move and use my body, the more addicted I get. I am also starting an at-home yoga practice/routine for the first time EVER and am so stoked about it. I don’t know how many years I’ve gone reading and witnessing the many merits of yoga, but just didn’t know how to get started and what kind of yoga was the right one for me, etc… Anyways, reading your post made my soul hum because I know that the best is yet to come. Thank you for your inspiration!

Love love love your fitness outfits! And your post too:) All the points you made I relate to….I myself has an addictive personality and sometimes find myself dipping into bad habits (like the sugar I put in my coffee gah!) but always strive to keep up with my fitness routine! I love the benefits it reaps into all areas of my life!

When i first saw what was #6 was i immediately thought of Legally Blonde and i kind of LOL’d when you actually did include the “endorphins” quote from the movie. Im also not sure if it is something you have blogged about earlier (i’ll start searching the archives) but i would love to learn more about how you quit your addiction to sugar (or at least developed a better relationship with it) as i am going through a similar situation a well.
And “woohoo” for thanksgivings in Carmel by the sea (my fiancé has family there). Next time I’m down there ill need to check out their yoga scene 🙂

You are SO accurate! As I read through your list, I kept on agreeing with each statement. My fitness addiction definitely helps me develop relationships, boosts my confidence, and helps create a healthy routine. Excited to see the post on fitness gear! Workout clothes are my favorite clothes to shop for by far.
