There is no silver lining, and losing weight is easy. In addition to numerous diets, fasting days, there is a proven way - regular exercise. Many plan them with enviable constancy, but everyone does not have enough time and energy to play sports. In this material we will try to understand why this is happening and how to fix it.

What could be the motivation?

How many times have we promised ourselves to go in for sports from Monday, from the next month, from the New Year, but things are still there. But they really wanted to lose weight on vacation, wedding anniversary, anniversary ... Answer yourself honestly to the question, why haven’t you reached the fitness center, even if you are within reach? It is likely that in the list of probable good reasons there is at least one of the following.

  • My body does not need exercise, it is already beautiful.
  • 90-60-90 is just about me (only for women).
  • Without training I will overtake Usain Bolt (eight-time Olympic champion in athletics).
  • I do not know what shortness of breath is.
  • My children should not even think about the possibility of going to the gym.
  • Every day I get physical activity without training (I work as a loader).
  • I am afraid to fall off the treadmill (exercise bike).
  • The last time I was sick when there was an outbreak of chickenpox in kindergarten.
  • Half of my wardrobe is small for me, but I don’t want to throw away expensive (in the literal and figurative sense of the word) things.

And here is what can encourage us to go in for sports.

  • I cannot rise without rest above the second floor.
  • I was abandoned by a husband (boyfriend) / wife (girl) because he considers me too fat (oops).
  • I dream of a beautiful figure.
  • I want to lose 5-10 kilograms to make it easier to move.
  • I want to find a way to relieve stress from time to time.
  • I want my children to be friends with sports.
  • I'm not lazy.
  • I love myself.
  • I want to be loved.

So, something makes you go to the gym, but this something has not yet turned from desired into real. Do you want to start playing sports, you get very tired after work, you have every minute scheduled, do the children take away all the remaining time?

But all this is not a reason to deny yourself health and an active lifestyle.

How to overcome laziness?

Surely you have time to chat with your girlfriend on the phone. Do you remember what interesting series you finished watching yesterday, and the fifth level of the new version of your favorite game has already passed? Once you're done with all these things, turn on the washing machine and run into the gym before training. You can defeat yourself only by an effort of will. After physical activity, you will surely relieve your fatigue after mental activity by hand. You will not notice how you begin to breathe more freely, both physically and psychologically. You will forget about shortness of breath, bouts of neuralgia, insomnia and headaches.

There is another obstacle that stops people from going to the gym - the price of the issue. In almost all, even the most elite clubs, there are big discounts on season tickets (watch for promotions), and besides, you don’t have to visit clubs that are designed for show business stars — the one across the road is no worse. The money saved on the purchase of medicines and “miracle funds” for weight loss will be able to fully recoup the annual subscription.

The main thing is to stop being lazy, to overcome yourself and your habits. Starting from scratch and falling in love with sports is not as hard as it seems. And then you yourself will not notice how you begin to eat right and do at least a little exercise at home every day in the morning.

But if all of the above has not yet directed you to the path of sports, here are a few more tips.

Find a partner

Together it’s fun to walk not only in open spaces, but also on a treadmill. At the same time, discuss the latest gossip, sales news and why your mutual friend still hasn’t gone to the gym. Besides, as soon as laziness again overcomes you, your friend will immediately force you to get up off the couch, well, do not leave your comrade alone with an exercise bike, and the next time you will save her from an attack of laziness.

Find a trainer

If there is no suitable candidate for like-minded friends and acquaintances, Let your trainer become your partner. If you first go to the gym, then you just need the help of a specialist, otherwise the likelihood of injuries and other unpleasant health consequences is great. Usually, the services of an individual trainer are paid separately, but what the money is given for becomes even more expensive and valuable to us.

The trainer not only assists with advice and determination of an adequate load, but also monitors class attendance.

Keep a diary

Write everything you managed to achieve there. Squeezed 10 times, then 20 and so on. The volume of the waist (hips, arms, legs) decreased by 1 centimeter, then - by 2, 3, and so on. Lose weight per kilogram, 2, 3 and so on. You can accompany the numbers with photos, graphs. At some point, the process of your transformation and improvement can slow down a little, as it happens with almost everyone, and then it will seem to you that all further efforts are useless. No, you just need to reconsider how it all began, and refusing to continue the journey seems ridiculous.

Promotions

Give yourself small gifts for different achievements. All places in the Olympic team are occupied, and therefore you will have to hand yourself the medals and cups yourself (although it is better to ask your husband / wife, friend / girlfriend to do this). They lost 3 kilograms - why not go to the spa, do expensive manicures, buy a ticket for a concert of your favorite artist or a performance of your favorite theater.They did 50 squats instead of 15, which they barely mastered during the first training session - you can buy a new T-shirt (shorts, blouse, shirt, dress, and so on).

In the end, one not very “right” dinner a month can also be afford. By the way, sometimes it’s even useful. Our body is notable for its cunning, as soon as it starts to lose, then it tries to keep it accumulated over the years, and you already don’t give it a week of sweets for the night. Fool him, give something tasty for dinner, maybe he will leave his hoarding at least for a while, and the weight will decrease again.

How to force yourself to go to the gym after work?

There are some practical tips to help organize yourself working. First of all, you should clearly plan the time both at work and after it. This will help to find time for a lesson.

  • To start do not forget at home a bag with a suit for trainingreturning home after her, you are unlikely to leave him. Collecting a bag, if it is in advance, helps to tune in to a sports evening in the morning.
  • remember, that physical exercises relieve emotional and psychological stress, and therefore, employees, superiors will certainly mark your bright mind.
  • After training, you’ll fall asleep faster, which means that it’s better to rest before a busy day.
  • You will not have time between work and sleepto look in the fridge and eat something unnecessary.
  • And even more so it is unlikely that the thought will pop into the store for a couple of jars of foam. For this, your tummy will definitely let go a couple of centimeters. You still have time to pump it up.

Tips

Choose the type of physical activity that is right for you. Now you can find classes for every taste and budget. You can do it in the usual “rocking chair” in the fitness center at the nearest school, and in the elite sports club. The main thing is that you go there with pleasure. So back to the types of activity that may interest you.

  • Step aerobics - classes are most often held in a group, exercises are performed using a special platform "step", which is why this type of training is called in fitness centers. It is recommended for strengthening the muscles of the legs for those who have suffered a knee injury, suitable for the treatment and prevention of arthritis and osteoporosis.
  • Water aerobics - classes are held in water. During exercise, almost all muscle groups are affected. Hence the high efficiency of such classes.
  • Fitness yoga - This is a mixture of ancient Indian teachings and modern knowledge about a healthy lifestyle. You will be taught to correctly take such poses that will have a positive effect on the state of your body.
  • Fitbox - Thai boxing with aerobics elements. Beats are delivered to the music at a high pace. And do not worry - you will not have bruises. Your rivals will be a humble pear or a coach who will make you move in search of a goal for your strike. And what a wonderful way to throw off tension and negativity.
  • EMS training suitable for those who have very little free time. Just 45 minutes in a special suit is comparable in efficiency to a three-hour hour lesson in a regular room. This is achieved due to the fact that during exercise your muscles are additionally stimulated by low-power electric charges. The only negative is a rather expensive pleasure.
  • If you don’t like the fitness room, head to the nearest dance club. Latino, belly dancing and even pole dancing will help you not only to tighten your figure, but also to learn how to move well. And at the next corporate evening, you will surely surprise your colleagues.
  • Crossfit - classes include a certain “coupling” of various exercises, which is performed at a fairly high pace a certain number of times.

And this is not all that will be offered to you if you still decide to overcome laziness physically. This, of course, can be done at home.But as practice proves, one day a simulator bought sooner or later becomes a clothes hanger. And the exercise mat on the floor slowly turns into a bath mat. Therefore, it is better to go to the gym. But if for some reason you prefer to stay at home, then still find yourself a personal trainer. Now on the Internet there are many online courses and classes for every taste. They will cost you either very inexpensively, or even for nothing.

But here lies the danger. What we just get, we do not really appreciate. Agree, paying money for a lesson or buying a subscription, skipping workouts will simply be a pity. Another powerful motivator for going to the gym can be the most banal argument. Make a bet with anyone that you don’t miss workouts a certain number of times or lose a certain amount of kilograms per month. The chance to become winners and get a win will also spur you to regular classes.

Regularly look at yourself in a full-length mirror, preferably before pulling on your favorite hoodie. Remove jeans from the chiffonier that you cannot fit in for a year already and hang them in a prominent place, let them become an incentive.

Before deciding to visit the gym, you should consult a doctor - a medical specialist will evaluate the initial state of health and choose the type of physical activity that will not only help to lose weight, but will also be beneficial for health.
