Lately, I’ve been fascinated by how historical pandemics required incredible discipline both in public health responses and personal resilience. It’s got me thinking: how can someone with a love for epidemiology apply those lessons to staying motivated in fitness? For example, tracking progress like contact tracing or drawing inspiration from historical figures who balanced rigorous routines with their work. Anyone else tried tying their fitness goals to niche interests like this? Curious what’s worked for you!
