There are two pains in life: the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. You chose which one.
From Irv Bernstein, long time trainer:
Being an athlete is a state of mind, not just a state of body. It entails a certain level of discipline... athletes accept some pain, and move on or through it, non-athletes shirk from risk of pain, and from pain itself, seeking a safety from which cannot really be. Rather, think of fitness training, and athletic conditioning, as a progressive mind-altering challenge that hardens the body and the spirit against the trials and travails of life outside the gym, (and off the track).
