Workout guilt.
We all go through it at one point or another. You wake up every morning with the intention to workout, you know you should, but you don’t. You even schedule it in your day, but between one thing and another you get too busy or too tired and you break your “appointment”. You end up beating yourself up for not following through, and in the end you wind up doing more harm than good. Nobody does well when they’re beaten down, especially when it’s from yourself. It’s self-defeating and energy-sucking.
Here are some tips on how to break free of Workout Guilt!
- Alter your perspective. The pressure of “losing weight” and doing it FAST only adds more stress to your already stressful life. Don’t defeat yourself early on, start thinking of working out as a way to alleviate the everyday stress of your life. A way to escape the pressure of your day and a time focus on your body and health. The reward will be a stronger and tighter body!
- Put your fitness at the top of your to-do list. Try to make your workout one of the first, if not the first, thing you do in the day. Don’t put it at the bottom of your list! That way you won’t have it hanging over your head all day. You will end up feeling accomplished, satisfied with yourself and ready to take on the rest of the day with success. BONUS: it helps you stick to your clean eating, healthy diet as well!
- Have exact goals set. Write down your goals for each day and and clearly define the outcome you want to achieve. Plan out when you will do each workout, which workout you are doing, what muscles you are training that day. Write it on your personal calendar, I know I do. Having a clear plan for each day of the week or month removes the pressure of feeling clueless and gives you a solid game plan to follow. Set yourself up for success every day!
- Do your best and forget the rest. Stop putting yourself down. Always push yourself to YOUR max, whatever that may be. Just prove to yourself that you can do it and eventually your body will give the results you want. You don’t know how good it feels to push yourself physically, until you push yourself!!
