The first step in abandoning exercise saboteurs altogether is to completely forget about the excuses that are commonly used to escape exercise. Freeing yourself from excuses is essential to accurately include physical activity in your life.
So start by analyzing in which situations you make the most excuses not to go to the gym or take that walk with your friend. Are you too tired or overworked? Did you forget you had to shop at the market and it will be very busy? Does the weather seem to be changing and will it rain?
Enough of so many excuses, forget once and for all those reasons that seem so important at the time and then you realize that you stopped exercising for a reason that was not so strong and could have been resolved very simply.
Police yourself and every time you realize you are making an excuse not to work out, be firm and resist the excuses. Prefer to think like this: How can I solve this situation without losing my physical activity schedule? or is it really worth it to stop exercising because of this?
Gradually eliminating the excuses from your life, the next step is to create a physical activity routine and try your best to be disciplined with it and not keep changing schedules.
Flexible hours for physical activity can be very good because you adapt them to your needs, but they can also sabotage your training in very busy seasons. On the other hand, if you have a set time to meet, you may try harder not to miss it.
Who easily succumbs to laziness to work out, might try to pay for a gym and thus be less encouraged to miss? after all you are paying.
Also try not to force the bar on yourself and keep telling yourself that you will work harder and get heavy on the workout. Instead of making promises, treat physical activity as something that is already part of your daily life and do not put such emphasis on it. In this way, it really becomes part of it and when you least realize, exercising will no longer be a sacrifice and will become a common task of your day.
Finally, create a climate conducive to physical exercise. Make physical activity easy, comfortable and practical. Choose an easily accessible location, for example a gym that is already on the way home.
If necessary, ask your physical activity counselor to begin your workout with lighter sets. Remember: It's easier and less painful to start with small steps than to want to take a giant step at the beginning. As you begin the practice, you may be more likely to continue, but if you already want to start working out hard, you will be more likely to give up.
Always try not to miss training and keep pace to prevent laziness from getting close. Follow the tips and set aside your excuses, so you gradually introduce physical activity into your life more easily and easily.
