Yes, you are not mistaken. My college roommate likes to get up early, but he gets up early not to study, but to run, and then punch in at the gym. After four years of persistence, I was all muscular and the body fat rate reached 9%, which became the "muscle overlord" in the eyes of many girls.
I still remember that at the beginning of my freshman year, he was just a tall, thin man, and when the wind blew, he looked like he was going to fall. People in our dormitory often laugh at him for this. At first, he didn't care too much. Later, he confessed to the girl he liked, and as a result, people directly rejected him, saying that he could not see "security" from him.
I didn't expect him to be hit by this and get a fitness card. At that time, we thought he was just on a whim, but he proved himself with actions, because since then, he got up at six o'clock on time every day, first went to the playground for two laps, then slowly increased to more than a dozen laps, then went to the gym and started practicing from all parts. Protein powder has also become his must-have, and we watched him get stronger day by day.
At that time, we also advised him that there was no need to be like this because of a girl, but he said that he already liked this feeling. At that time, we really thought he was obsessed with fitness, but he didn't think so. He didn't see that he was still a "small local tyrant" because his diet was becoming more and more "fitness". He eats a lot of egg whites and beef every day, and all kinds of high-end ingredients are included in his daily diet.
The last four years passed quickly. We all graduated and went to work, but he stayed at school and became a fitness instructor. His salary is several times that of ours, but we are not jealous of him, because we know how hard he has worked for it.
