Description

In this class, you’ll reflect on your relationship with exercise, tell personal stories, and analyze how workout culture influences identity, discipline, and self-image. Speak naturally, expand your ideas, and ask follow-up questions.

Session Activities

1: What kind of workout do you genuinely enjoy, and what makes it satisfying for you?

2: Do you prefer working out alone or with others? Why?

3: Have your exercise habits changed over the years?

1: Can you tell a story about a time when you were extremely consistent — or inconsistent — with working out? What was happening in your life?

2: What usually pushes you to stick to a routine, and what causes you to fall off?

3: Have you ever signed up for something fitness-related and regretted it — or been pleasantly surprised?

4: Do you see working out as discipline, therapy, competition, self-care, or something else?

5: How does your mood shift after an intense workout? Is it psychological, physical, or both?

6: In your country, is fitness more about health, appearance, or social status?

7: Do you think social media has changed the way people show off their fitness journeys?

8: Why do some people burn out quickly while others turn exercise into a lifelong habit?
