Hamidreza Khalounejad Quotes:

– The less you move (exercise), the less inclined you become to move (exercise).

The more you move, the more inclined you are to continue moving.
An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion.

Newton’s laws also apply to human psychology and physiology.

Hamidreza Khalounejad

– Don’t dream of being in shape. Train for it!!

– You can only trust someone who does exercise.

– Movement is medicine.

– If you love yourself, do exercise regularly.

– Children can start resistance training as early as possible, but parents should ensure they do not exercise more than the recommended training load.

– Set your goal 🎯 and write it. Schedule your day 🗓️ and write it. Plan your training session 💪🏼 and write it. Plan your diet 🥗 and write it.

– The difference between a good and a bad coach is in the level of specialized knowledge, not biceps circumference, and experience in competitions where the first person should receive the prize of the biggest traitor to her health instead of a medal.
