My willpower doesn't work out
Below you can see one of my all-time fav pics - why? Cause it shows 3 kids who magically joined our workout in Taghazout in the shittiest gym that anyone has ever seen. They joined causeeeee .. we looked ?cool? so they copied us? That happened several times when Moroccan kids were around. That's magic to me.
Because whooo actually enjoys doing workouts besides these kids? You? Ok, ok, then first the practical bits where to find the best workouts in Eri. Then my ramble on which factors influence the probability of me doing a workout. And some silly ideas on how to add some joy so that I maybe maybe crave to do workouts for a long time.

The most magic formula in da world
Or does your brain predict this will not be fun? Welllllllll, what if you had all these x-factors below ticked - then your brain couldn't wait to do workouts?
Since coming back from Morocco in March 2024, I've been thinking about bringing our little shitty Taghazout goat camp to Eri that worked out so well. Goat camp cauuuuse besides kids, also goats magically joined 🐐
When I came back to Taghazout one year later in January 2025, the drawing of the goats was still on the whiteboard in Sundesk, so we just restarted it :) And now it's time to bring it to Eri, I think.
How to trick my brain
And while we're at it, why not uplevel that goat camp a bit? From all these factors, maybe who I want to chat to after the workout is one of the most important/influenceable ones. To be precise, who I wanna have coffee with and chat to at this “beach bar” 10 sec next to the calisthenics park at São Sebastião 🤓
Welcome to ma 2nd cute little table :)
The last bingo field, in the bottom right corner, brings us to the next most important/influenceable factor: how to think about something fun during workout.
Wtf is she talking about
If you now only understand banananana, here are 1 min videos about how the games Werewolf & The Psychologist work. And anyway, do not worry, I will lead you through the games, just turn up :) Plus, I have this book with these questions in mind & I would be keen to listen to an audiobook about non-violent communication or whateverrrr.
Also, here is an example of the double torture station within the workout circuit where I'll add a mental challenge.

Yepp, I'll also manage to get some workout weights/stones so that we give those muscles a bit of a challenge :) Fun aye?
She clearly needs help
Any strong (preferably brave smart honest handsome cute rich) IT guy around who can help me to carry those local invisible workout gems to the calisthenics park? 🥺
I want them at the calisthenics park at São Sebastião - which is 1 kilometre ish from the current secret gem location.
I'll try to do test rounds of these absolutely weirdo workouts with friendz this autumn and will keep tweaking them. Soooooooo that in the end, we can all look like these happy kids below, full of endorphins <3
PS: Did I mention the ocean dip after the workout? 🐳 Endorphins x3
