There is no trick to
working out. If you want it? Then do it.
1. Location:
one of the most basic requirements is to have a place to
exercise. This could be your front room, bedroom, backyard or
at a gym. The only thing that matters is that you are able to
concentrate on exercise. For many of us it’s hard to get
motivated when we are in our own home, that’s why a gym is such
a useful tool.
2. Intent:
pay attention to what you’re doing it will give you better
results and will help keep you from injury. When you perform an
exercise, do it with the intent of doing it best you can. This
will give you better results faster and get you over the first
hump quicker
3.
Education: when you start to work out it’s
expected for you to get a trainer that’s how you can learn the
basics of what you need to do. Don’t expect your trainer to
hold your hand the entire time your at the gym. It’s up to you
to learn from them. If you know how to it’s a better chance of
you doing it.
4. Consistency:
working out is based off the idea that your body will adapt to
the environment that you are creating for it. You need to
consistently work out, just like an animal takes time and
repetition to learn a new trick so too does you body take time
and repetition to adapt. If you’re consistent with your
exercises you with make better progress and be more apt to keep
going.
5. Acceptance:
everyone starts to work out with the best intentions. They want
to make them selves’ feel better, and look better. But 2 days
into our new routine a huge load of work came in at the office
and you’re just to tired to move when you got home. And lets
not forget, with in the 1st 2-weeks of being really
good going to the gym and working out hard, you get sick and you
have to miss a day or 2 or 3 or a month. The best thing to do
is to not fall onto a bad pattern don’t replace you exercise
time with something else. Try to keep the idea of exercise
during that time. If you cant make it to the gym then spend
that time stretching (all of us can use more of that) or try
doing a few sit-ups, push-ups. Just don’t give yourself an
alternate activity during your work out times.
6.
Belief: one of the first big hurdles you must
over come is the time before you start to see results. I was
working at a gym in the Northwest when I met these 3 women.
Each one, determine to stick to their workout. The next day
only 2 women showed for their workout. The day after that only
1 and then none. I never saw them again. The point is your
putting a lot of effort into working out, if you don’t believe
you get the results then your not going to do it.
7. Commitment:
The absolute hardest thing in the world is getting up from a
comfortable chair to go to a cold gym with sweaty people who are
too ugly or too good-looking to be wearing what their wearing.
You have to decide to go to the gym and follow through.
8.
Planning: have your schedule set out so that you
can realistically have time to go to the gym and sleep. Too
many people try to work out and 5 in the morning when they know
that they stay up till midnight. Be honest with your self and
make a schedule that you can keep. Exercise is hard enough as
it is don’t make it harder by trying to do more then your time
will allow.
9. Diet:
I know I’m going to get yelled at for saying this. This is
probably the last thing you should be worrying about. As your
body starts to get use to exercise then start replacing the bad
foods with good ones. Your not trying to be “instant perfect”,
you’re trying to be your self, just better. Besides you and I
both know that if start working out and go on a diet at the same
time, at some point (with in the month) you’ll go on a Peanut
Butter M&M binge that will leave groceries clerks running for
there lives.
10. Do it:
At the end of it all, this is all that maters. Take a deep
breath and Do It.
