Engineers are silently getting jacked.
I just saw this girl on Instagram, talking about how engineers are the hottest guys she could ever find. I was confused because I am an engineer and……. (Realized not to think any further)
But that’s the reality. I see a lot of software engineers, hitting the gym every day, very conscious about what they eat, talking about their fitness routine all the time, and they are quite obsessed with it.
After thinking for some time, I got to know 5 healthy reasons.
- Coping Mechanism → An engineer’s life is stressful. It’s never 9-5. So, the workout turns out to be a healthy coping mechanism. It used to be p*rn, stress eating, and all kinds of cheap pleasures. But now, it’s working out, and I feel proud of us.
- Builds Confidence → Your appearance plays a role in your confidence. You need to perceive yourself as confident if you want someone else to do so. Looking good and having a structured physique in the mirror is one of the best ways to build confidence.
- Flow State → You enter a different state when you enter the gym. Your mind shuts down. You focus only on your breadth, muscle contractions, and the hot girl at the gym. No distractions! You will be in a flow state.
- The Domino Effect → If you go to the gym regularly, putting in your best effort, you don’t want to waste all that by eating sh*t. You prioritize your food intake & your sleep for recovery, you then build discipline, focus a lot better at work, it builds confidence, you feel good about yourself & so on.
- The post-workout feel → I can’t explain this. The feeling you get after an intense workout is just…… You just have to feel it yourself. Seriously!
I believe these are some of the reasons that encourage people to hit the gym regularly.
I do hit the gym and believe it or not, the post-workout feel is just blissful. You feel really good. If you can afford to take a nap after that, that’s even better.
A good ideal day should be:
- 6:00 AM - Wake up
- 6:30 AM → Hit the gym
- 8:00 AM → Skin care routine
- 8:30 AM → Breakfast
- 9 AM to 5 PM → Work
- 6:30 PM → Personal Work (For Me: Content Creation, writing this article at 10:37PM & building my dream life)
- 9:30 PM → (READ or SCROLL or WATCH something) & Skin care routine
- 10:30 → Sleep
You do that every day. You life has no choice but to get better. 100%
