Although I lift for the express goal of becoming more fit for rugby, I understand that for many of you and others being fit is the goal in and of itself.  It can be hard to stay motivated in the gym when you don't feel that you must get stronger, faster, etc for a specific reason like a sport.   Without this sense of urgency it becomes easy to ask yourself why you're working out at all.  Remind yourself that your reasons for staying fit are far more important than competing physically for sport.  Staying fit is urgent for everyone, its benefits to mental health are well understood and physically you must permit yourself to live a life without hinderance.   When lifting, it is crucial that all of us find our "why".  Ask yourself why you want to become fit and don't let yourself lose sight of that goal, no matter how simple it may be.
