Let's say you are desiring to go to the gym and exercise in order to lose weight, but you suddenly feel you don't want to go through with it. Chances are you and many people have felt that going to the gym, can be a tremendous strain on you emotionally and physically. Whether it's running on the treadmill or lifting a set of kettlebells, the physical demands can turn people off to the gym. This article provides a common list of excuses people have to avoid working out.
1. I can't workout in front of other folk: Many people I've found have insisted that they feel embarrassed working out in front of others. Whether it's the public locker rooms or the fact that the other gym members are in better shape, something about working out in public keeps these people from getting in their exercise. Often, these self-proclaimed fitness-center-phobes make a vow to themselves to workout at home only to relax on the couch and say they'll get to it later. The determination provided from working out, whether it be with a buddy or guests, can get a person lifting weights with a renewed sense of vigor.
2. Working out is too mundane: Traditional cardio on the treadmill or stationary bike can leave someone feeling like a hamster on a wheel. Lifting heavy weights can be tedious for even the biggest fitness buff. But for those who need to spice up their fitness routine, ask around and find out: what is Zumba or what are kettlebells? By using unique techniques and more dynamic movements, a new routine or class could keep you interested and committed to your workout routine. With such different options available in the world of fitness, being bored is no excuse to forgo your daily exercise.
3. I'm healthy already: Many people stubbornly hold onto the myth that they don't need to exercise. Whether they have a fast metabolism, already eat healthily, have good genes, or work a job where they're on their feet - exercise just doesn't seem like a priority. But the truth is that metabolism slows down and a balanced diet works best alongside a structured fitness routine. Just half an hour of exercise a day can benefit a person's standards of living even if they're already in good shape. Lifting kettlebells or stepping on the treadmill can additionally help improve a person's day-to-day mood. Even the healthiest person without exercise could benefit from exercise.
In the long run, the time we spend thinking up and giving justifications as to why we can't exercise could be better spent actually exercising. The health benefits of a little exercise each day go a long way. The best and bad excuses that a person can create are only that - excuses. At the end of the day, step on the treadmill or pick up a set of weights instead of retiring to the couch and your body will thank you for it.
