When it comes to exercise, people usually do the bare minimum. Many come to the conclusion that the fact they’re exercising is good enough and they’re content with being mediocre.
The same goes for how people see themselves.
A lot of people limit their potential and rationalize why they can’t lose the weight that they want or can’t reach the fitness level they truly desire.
The usual statements are made…
“I’m older, so my metabolism is slower.”
“I have more responsibilities, so I don’t have time to exercise.”
“I don’t have the motivation and self-discipline I used to.”
“I have bad genetics and my body doesn’t respond to working out.”
“I’ve had kids, so I can’t get rid of fat in certain areas of my body.”
The list goes on and if you’re waiting for someone to validate the reasons you CAN’T get into great shape and reach your goals, well, you are going to be waiting for a long time.
The fact is, these aren’t reasons, they are EXCUSES. And if we had a nickel for every time we hear one of them, we’d be rich.
It all comes down to this–how bad do you really want it?
When you really want something, you usually do whatever it takes to get it…so why with your fitness and your health is it so much different? Could it be that you don’t really want it that bad? You say you want to lose weight, but yet you don’t exercise like you should and then stay up late eating a giant bowl of ice cream. You’ll start tomorrow, right?
Don’t fall into the same old rut, NOW is the time to reach your goals. It is hard work, and takes commitment, but it is worth it. It is something you will never regret going after and achieving!
You’ve got to really want it to achieve it-you’ve got to mentally be in the game just as much as physically. You can’t be “kinda serious” or”unsure” or “on the fence” about reaching the fitness goals you have. You can’t keep focusing on the problem. You’ve got to take ACTION and find the right solution of what will work to unlock your true potential.
Fall is a great time to make new plans and have hope set into motion…stop making excuses! If you want it, go after it!
