The 5 excuses you always make for not going to the gym and how to beat them!
The 5 excuses you always make for not going to the gym and how to beat them!
If, like a large number of mortals, you have decided to get in shape this month by moving your body in the gym, bravo! You are on the right track. Fitness, spinning, body pump, step, crossfit, body attack, aquagym, boxing, at your leisure on the machines... there are endless possibilities to work and tone up. But we are going to confess a secret to you: this initial motivation for the gym can decline over time if you do not find an incentive that makes you take a liking to it. Don't panic! We have assembled the 5 most regular reasons that can cause you to lose inspiration to go to the rec center to wreck them and make you see that youcan overcome them.
1. I don't have time
Perhaps this is the quintessential excuse: lack of time. Actually, we use it for many things: to read, to meet up with friends, to cook, to take care of ourselves... Enough! We have time for what we really want to do: it's a matter of priorities and not forgetting that going to the gym and playing sports are highly beneficial for both the body and the mind.
Also, aware of this, gyms are usually open for a large part of the day (from 06:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.) so that you can find the time that works best for you.
This is easily solved by setting yourself a routine and reserving a few specific days on the calendar. What can only be one day? Well one day. Do not get overwhelmed by the frequency, but meet the set day and you will see how little by little the bug will bite you and you will end up going more days. So… this one is of no use to us!
2. In the gym I get bored
Really? With the wide variety of free or directed activities that you can do? You can go to your ball, do intense and moderate sports, give it your all-in spinning and release stress in body combat, dance in Zumba, relax in the sauna or do a few lengths in the pool in the purest Mireia Belmonte style, among others. many things.
And with the people you can meet? Look at the information panels at the entrance, there are often posters of people from the gym, small groups that form from which true friendships emerge (or who knows, sometimes love can also arise!).
If with this we have not achieved enough motivation that you need to not get bored in the gym, we propose one that you will love: you have several playlists on Spotify so that you can do your exercises listening to music and it will be much more fun. Find your own or make it yourself to your liking!
3. Tomorrow yes yes
As the platitude goes: don't leave for later what you can do today. Be realistic: tomorrow you will promise yourself the same thing, you will break it again and you will enter a loop that is difficult to get out of. That is why we recommend that you follow our motto: today yes and tomorrow too. Do not disappoint yourself, take advantage of the day and you will see how when you finish you will feel satisfied to have managed to move from the sofa and give your body rhythm.
A good idea is to meet someone to go to the gym: your roommate, your sister, your best friend... it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you also acquire a commitment with another person, since that one is more difficult to break. Don't make excuses to that person because she will see you right away and find another partner in fatigue!
4. I don't have the right outfit
Let's see… we all like to look divine in any situation, but be disappointed: in the gym you will sweat and burn calories. And everyone is in the same boat, so don't worry about being red as a beet from exertion or Miss Wet T-Shirt.
Put the glamor aside momentarily for later and get practical: comfortable, breathable clothing and sneakers. Equip yourself with a basic kit of headphones in case you want to listen to music, a bottle of water (essential to stay hydrated), a towel to dry the sweat and... go for it!
5. I'm lazy to wash my hair every day
Surely you have heard many motivating phrases to go to the gym, but none of them responds to the real stick that gives us having to wash our hair after an exercise session.
For this we do have the definitive solution: Batiste dry shampoo ! It is a shampoo that does not need water and that, with a few simple sprays on your hair, gives you an enormous sensation of cleanliness and movement instantly. And it leaves you with an irresistible smell.
What many women do in the gym is to put their hair up in a high ponytail, so after their exercise session they only have to apply it to the roots and, in a moment of nothing, they are ready to continue with their plans.
So, if your excuse to leave the gym is that... it doesn't look pretty. Put a bottle of Batiste dry shampoo in your gym bag (for example, we recommend Fresh , with a fresh and light fragrance, although you have a wide range to choose from) and you will see how easy it is to go to the gym every day.
If you did not know the existence of Batiste, here we leave you with the definitive guide to the use of dry shampoo , as well as another post where we tell you how to apply it to get the most out of it .
