Are you one of those people who just can't wait to get to your workout? Or are you one of those folks who dreads, loathes, despises and simply hates working out? Well if you fall into the latter category, don't feel alone. There are others just like you who feel this way. But these feelings can be changed with a basic action plan to counteract the causes of exercise aversion! There are many reasons why people don't stick with their well intentioned fitness plans, but there are three "big" barriers that seem to affect all exercisers at some point. BIG BARRIER #1 = BOREDOM
The same old workout can lead to boredom very quickly unless the activity is something you truly enjoy. Stomping on a treadmill everyday for 20 minutes while watching the world state of affairs can become monotonous quickly as well as depressing! You may have had great fitness intentions when the new year rolled around but the excitement has worn off, the honeymoon is over, and you are still doing the same workout you started with. Now you aren't sure how to change it. What to do? BIG BARRIER #2 = NO RESULTS
When you start a fitness or eating plan you may see results right away. The pounds start coming off and you feel like you could do one of those TV testimonials. But soon those results slow down, taper off or just come to a complete stop. It is proven that diets alone will not produce lasting weight loss. We all know that we have to move more and eat less but even that plan has to change over the course of your fitness program. Not seeing the results you want is a big factor in continuing your fitness quest. Research has shown that our bodies are great at adapting to exercise very quickly. So if you aren't changing your workout regularly, you won't see the results you are looking for. How to change it up? BIG BARRIER #3 = TIME ISSUES
Everyone is busy - so why are some able to get their workouts in and others aren't? Two factors are making time and making a committment. You have to schedule time for your workout just like any other appointment. It has to become part of your daily life and part of your committment to improving or maintaining your health and fitness. It has to go in the category of daily living just like brushing your teeth or breathing!. The "I don't have time to exercise" excuse just doesn't cut it anymore. You don't have to hit the gym for two hours each day. Those days have long been over and there are so many options now available to fit any time hampered life. How to make time? There is one answer to all three of these barriers and it's not exactly "new". This miracle of fitness has been around for a long time and it gets "new and improved" all the time. You just have to be fearless, jump in, and do it. GROUP EXERCISE If you haven't thought of group exercise before - now is the time.
