What are you training for?

Five years ago, I was the student—learning from her in Japan.

This week, she and her daughter, @kakoand___ (now also a teacher) came to visit me in the US…and guess what? Still schooling me (this time at jump rope 😅).

But then I had the chance to flip the script and teach them chin-ups. 💪

That’s what I love about our friendship: an ongoing exchange—skills, stories, laughter, and perspectives across cultures.

So when people ask me “What are you training for?”, my answer is simple:

👉 Everything.

Joy. Longevity. Fun. Strength. Resilience. Connection ✨

Because at the end of the day, it's always just as much, if not more, about how a good training session makes me feel as it is about how it makes me look (though those are sometimes fun side effects, too! 😏)

What about you? What are you training for? 💪
