"With 10x you can have a better understanding of your training"

Before joining 10x I hated going to the gym. For me, GYM was something that had its glorious era on Athenas, +2500 years ago. I hated the repetition, the mirrors for egocentric people and the sweat accumulated in the machines. However, I had always been an athlete. Since I’m 6 years old I’ve practiced sports. I grew up playing basketball in my small town and then, when I went to a city for studied on college, I discovered Ultimate Frisbee. 
I used to play Ultimate frisbee since 2018 till 2021, when I got injured. Playing a tournament, I jumped bad and I fell really bad trying to stop a goal from the other team. I broke my ACL (anterior cruciate Ligament), and it was the painful thing I’ve ever experienced (after He broke my heart of course 😂). I started a long recovery, went through a surgery, and started the physiotherapy. One day, Julian, my physiotherapist, told me the inevitable: for recovering my muscular mass and my strength I had to do strength training at Gym. Worst message ever for me. But my new Goggins mindset after the injury was stronger than my hate for the gym. 
So I started going to the gym on June, just for doing 3 machines for legs. Just the minimum for complement my recovery. No less, no more. Just the minimum required. 
 On July I attended Mindvalley University, I listened Ronan and Lorenzo talking about fitness and strength training. I can relate that they are the best speakers because when I returned to Colombia, I decided to join 10x and finally going to the gym. Best decision ever. I went from 19,5 KG mass to 21,2 KG in just 3 months and half (I took a little longer because I had to switch between physiotherapy and 10x routines). 
Now I have started a journey full of strength, mindset shifting and nurturing my body for becoming every day my best version. 
After 10x I have the power to decide over my body without having to spend hours in the gym or just focusing on the pain for good aesthetics. With 10x you can have a better understanding of your training, your skills, your mind power and the habits that can make you stronger, not only physically, but in many categories of your life.

"It’s such an amazing rush, and it motivates me to keep going, to push harder, and see what I can achieve next"

Honestly, when I first started 10x, I wasn’t a fan of strength training at all🥴 I was much more into yoga and swimming, and the thought of picking up dumbbells or doing intense workouts just wasn’t my thing😪 But I knew deep down that if I wanted to stay healthy, I had to start focusing on...
