You might not realize this if you have never trained for strength, but strength is very obviously measurable, especially with barbells, and when you get that feedback often enough with a program like this, it quickly becomes addictive.
You know how many reps you got with what weight the last time, you shoot for one more rep or 5 lbs. heavier, and you get it! And you know you didn't have it a week ago. You just got stronger!
So you start chasing your own progress in that "boring" lift, and it becomes far more exhilarating than any wobbleboard kettlebell juggle variation-of-the-day a personal trainer pulled out of her ass.

As I have gotten older, I have found that the most important part of my fitness plan is to do something that is interesting to me. Interest in an activity is more important than the activity itself. This goes along with the article, which debunks the new trendy fitness regimes in favor of a classic program.
