Excercise, fitness, healthy eating can all get a bit overwhelming at times. It's not easy to motivate yourself and get things going, especially if you've never done it before. But the benefits are all in the doing.
Even I'm guilty of making excuses. I can't stand winter to be honest and didn't like the thought of getting cold to get to the gym. I only ended up disappointing myself as I didn't reach my goals by the time summer hit and I'd give up all together. But I saw a quote on a social media site that changed my whole gym flow and Exercise mentality: "SUMMER BODIES ARE BUILT IN THE WINTER". I was like whaaaaaaaaat!!! I haven't looked back since and have no intentions to. So try and find some inspiration from somewhere. An old pic of yourself looking hot, a social media site, a friend or family member etc. Just give it a try, you never know what amazing things you could achieve when you sync your mind and body :)
Here are some excuses that need to be chucked out this month/year/week:
- I can't jog or run
- It's too cold
- I'm not fit enough to start as everyone's ahead of me
- I don't like sweating
- I don't have any workout clothes
- My partner likes me just the way I am
- Healthy food is disgusting
- Exercise doesn't work for my body type
- I'm naturally big boned so I can't lose weight
- I'll lose my curves, men like me "thick" (oh lawwwwd!!!)
- Gym memberships are for posh people (really?!?!???!?!)
- I don't like drinking water
- I can't cook
- It's too hot
- I'm too old
- I can't cycle
- I don't have time
- People will laugh at me
- I'll bulk up if I lift weights
- I'm not good enough
The list could go on really and some of them are actually some I've used lol.
What are some of the excuses you've heard or are guilty of using?
STOP with the excuses and START making positive changes to your life. You owe it to Yourself and You deserve it xxxxxx
