We all have those days where we just don't wanna go to the gym.
But sometimes, all you need is a little dose of reality to get you in the right
mindset to work out. Consider these thoughts the next time you feel like
bailing on your exercise routine.
The First Step is the Hardest
The amount of time we spend procrastinating is often much longer than
the amount of time it would take to actually do the thing we're putting off! Do
yourself a favor and just do it--now, not tomorrow. You'll get a lot more done
and you'll see much faster results!
Doing Nothing is the Easy Way Out
If you really want to change your body and your health, the hard
truth is that you will have to work for it. Where has doing nothing ever gotten
you? Going through the motions and doing the bare minimum isn't going to give
you the maximum results that you deserve. Put your all into your workouts, and
watch your hard work pay off!
Perfect Conditions Don't Exist
If you always waited to exercise until you were in the perfect
mood or until the weather was ideal, do you think you'd ever do it? Probably
not! Get out there and get your workout done before you have
a chance to talk yourself out of it--you'll be glad you did!
Working Out Makes You Happy
The next time you find yourself feeling down, lace up those
sneakers!An endorphin rush might be just
what you need to brighten your day.
You can wish to reach your weight-loss and fitness goals all you
want, but you won't ever reach them if you don't do anything to achieve them.
Get up now and put your dreams into motion!
Every Choice Dictates Your Progress
You can't expect to get good results if you keep making exercise excuses and quitting
before you have a chance to reach your goals. Stop cheating yourself--make the
right choices to get the results you want. When faced with multiple options,
think about how each one will affect your progress. That foresight will have a
major payoff in the end!
Don't Fool Yourself: You Have Time
We're all busy, but if we're honest with ourselves, we can
probably find a few extra minutes every day to get some exercise. Check out these
ideas for sneaking in exercise!
Every Workout Makes a Difference
Never underestimate the impact that one workout can make! One
workout leads to the next workout, which leads to the next workout after
that. Your weight-loss success is made up of
many seemingly insignificant workouts and good food choices; every single thing
you do to improve your health counts for something, no matter how small. And
one little workout sure makes more of a difference than an afternoon of sitting
on the couch!
Change takes time, and it can be hard to see that change taking
place on a day-to-day basis. But when you look back over a larger chunk of time
to where you started, those tiny changes add up to something amazing. So don't
quit! A year from now, you'll be happy you stuck with it.
You Never Regret a Workout
We've all regretted
skipping a workout, but when was the last time you felt guilty about making the
choice TO work out? That's right, probably never. Drop your excuses and just do it--you
won't be sorry!Written by Melinda Hershey, Sparkpeople Staff Writer
