The movie Escape Plan 2 with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone is more than action it’s a masterclass in trust, patience, and the long game. Just like in business and life, success comes from moving in silence, paying attention to details, and knowing your shot will come.

When someone told me to “change my mindset” and “get hobbies,” I realized how often warriors, builders, and movers get misjudged. I don’t need hobbies. I live intentionally, I move with purpose, and I claim my identity as an athlete no matter what. This is for anyone who’s been underestimated but keeps grinding.

I don’t just train in the gym, I train for the job, for the pivot, for the pressure. As a self-employed working coach, movement keeps me sharp, ready, and grounded. I mark an X on the calendar every time I move, because every stretch, every step, every pause counts. For me, keep going means keep moving, not to look a certain way, but to live a certain way. I’m not just still moving. I’m still building.

Freelance life means constant change and my body feels every shift. One week I’m sitting for hours, the next I’m walking miles in a massive workspace. That’s when I notice the side effects: low food drive, lightheadedness, or the crash that comes from running on coffee alone. Over time I’ve learned a simple truth: when the work shifts, my body shifts. And the best way to stay steady is with pocket fuel, small, dense snacks that keep the fire lit without weighing me down.

Summer slowed things down, but now I feel momentum stirring again, on the inside and in the field. This post is about soreness, showing up rusty, and still being sharp. If you’re building something in silence, this one's for you.

When things get slow, I don’t stand still. I build. I recover. I sharpen. Because staying ready is part of the grind. FormaFit isn’t just about workouts, it’s a mindset.
