You have heard the excuses time in and time out about why we don't feel like going to the gym to exercise. "I'm not the best weightlifter in the world," "I don't want to take the time and energy to exercise," "It's very hard work." It seems the significance of working out is tempered by the many reasons why people feel they don't want to work out. Maybe we have to try getting on the treadmill to lose a couple of pounds and start lifting kettlebells. Here are at least three excuses for why individuals don't take the time to exercise.
1. I can't workout in front of other people: Many people I've found have said that they feel uncomfortable 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 a gym keeps these people from getting in their exercise. Often, these self-proclaimed fitness-center-phobes make a promise to themselves to workout at home only to lounge on the couch and say they'll get to it later. The desire supplied from working out, whether it be with friends or strangers, can get a person lifting weights with a renewed sense of vigor.
2. Working out is a tough challenge: Whether it's being on the treadmill for cardio or lifting heavy weights, it can make you feel bored that you are not getting enough of a challenge. We are always desiring to find a solution to better our performance when we exercise. Ask anybody at your local gym or close friends, what techniques they do in order to stay in tip-top shape. A good answer would be by trying out different movements during your exercises.
3. I'm healthy already: Many people stubbornly hold onto the belief 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 necessary. But the truth is that metabolism slows down and a balanced diet works best with 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 decent shape. Lifting kettlebells or stepping on the treadmill can also help improve a person's day-to-day mood. Even the healthiest individual without exercise could benefit from exercise.
In the long run, the time we invest making up and giving justifications as to why we can't exercise could be better spent actually exercising. The health benefits of a little exercise once a day go a long way. The best and insecure excuses that a person can come up with are only that - excuses. At the end of the day, step on the treadmill or uncover a set of weights instead of retiring to the couch and your body will thank you for it.
