8 Lame Excuses Not to Exercise

Everyone has a different personality and interests. You alone decide whether to choose good or not. The same applies to sports, there should be interest and patience to achieve the desired weight. Practicing negative mindsets only brings you down. What type mindsets are these? These are lame excuses that we often hear:

REASON # 1

“I’m busy. I’ve more other stuff that I have to prioritize.”

Usually workload makes one too busy and care less about finding time for exercise. If you are more concerned with money, this reason is common. Remember, it’s better to prevent than to cure. You wouldn’t want to spend your money on remedy, would you?

REASON # 2

“I’m already fat, so what? Nothing can change that.”

First, change your perceptions and know that anyone can change. You just need to put a little effort and constant dedication. Get someone who can keep you motivated on losing weight.

REASON # 3

“I don’t need to exercise. I only eat diet food.”

h_gumnastikh_paxainei600_155759_5Y4G63 Diet alone is fine if you take really low intake of calorie for a long period of time to lose your weight. But this is too much for people to handle. You need to exercise to burn calories and at the same time control your eating habit. That way you are able to balance your health without craving food.

REASON # 4

“I don’t want my body to look like The Hulk.”

Actually, this imagination has gone way too far. Your body will look better if you exercise in discipline manner. To get a body like a bodybuilder is not that easy, it requires a very long time.

REASON # 5

“My body always aches after the workout.”

Your body will be sore after sports because you rarely play sports. It also happens when you didn’t warm up first or you are doing it the wrong way. Don’t see it as a big thing to do. You actually are exercising every step you climbed stairs.

REASON # 6

“I’ll workout later”

Until when? Delaying is the most hardest part to avoid. Most people only workout for a temporary reason. Especially for their wedding look. Ask yourself again. Are you working out for yourself or other people?

REASON # 7

“I don’t have anything suitable to wear for sports.

I don’t want to mess up my mind for this. What a waste of time.”

Fashionista. Women who are always concern about what they wear. Bare in mind, the best outfit to wear for sports are always the simplest yet covers your aurah. Let’s simplify this. There are few options nowadays to look for sportswear and Nashata.com is one of the most popular sportswear for those who want to look modest but still in fashion.

REASON # 8

“People are staring at me, too embarrassed to join any aerobic.”

Some people feel embarrassed to exercise, especially plus size people who want to lose weight because she feels herself being watched. You really should never think and care about what people say because it makes you lose the spirit. Prove to them you can do it! You might as well join fitness center for women where you can feel freedom from the eyes of men. You can find it everywhere nowadays.

 

Are you one of these reasons? If you are, stay away from this negative vibes. EMPOWER an active lifestyle and you’ll stay healthier than before!
