  • I would suggest also learning something you can do alone so that you don’t have to rely on other people. That’s one of the great things about biking. I can go by myself and just practice my regular jumping a bit or go with a group of us and practice new jumps.

    The key is to find something that will get you addicted. So maybe in addition to ice hockey go check out the roller rinks and do some laps on your off days?


  • I had a path similar to yours. I was in the army and 6 foot 185 lb. After I got out i gained about 100 lbs and couldn’t motivate myself to lose it. Now I’m back to 200 or so but I don’t really track it since i care more about how I feel than how I look.

    My secret was: don’t “workout”. Find a sport that you can do that is fun for you. Preferably one that is a full body workout. For me it was downhill mountain biking. It’s fun and you don’t notice the calories burned. If you get a fat tire bike you can even bike in snow or sand. Basically you need to trick your mind into getting those dopamine hits until your body associates exercise with feel good chemicals.
