Fitness is more than the amount of miles you run or how much weight you lift.

Fitness is a lifestyle, a way of navigating the world. It influences every choice you make, from the foods you eat to the activities you enjoy to the people you surround yourself with.

But it’s not just about choices. Mindset is paramount. If your mind isn’t firmly set on where you want to go you’ll go nowhere.

And just like the body, developing the mind takes training.

Here are 7 signs you have a fitness mindset. The more of these you have the closer you are to realizing the fittest, healthiest version of yourself.

You don’t shy away from a challenge

Becoming and staying fit is hard. Damn hard.

Between training, nutrition, sleep and lifestyle there are countless boxes to check and hurdles to avoid. We idolize those who scale mountains due to the degree of difficulty involved.

Fitness requires you not only to accept challenge, but welcome it. To embrace it with everything you have.

If the idea of a challenge makes you all tingly inside, you’re on the right track.

You understand no one will do the work for you
