With these tips you will start the year on the right foot.
After copious dinners, parties and excesses this Christmas, we look in the mirror one day and say: “Tomorrow I will start going to the gym, yes or yes, to take off these extra kilos.”
Why You Do It Wrong
You wake up the first day very motivated and you go to the gym, do thousands of exercises, 300 sit-ups, an hour running and when you finish you think: “Well, I’m not as bad physically as I thought” and you think about how easy it had been and how you had not done before, then the next day arrives, the alarm goes off again and when you are going to get out of bed… ERROR!
You can’t get up, you feel like it hurts even when you cough, it hurts to make any movement and then you stay in bed with a shoe that doesn’t even allow you to blink and you say to yourself: ” This sport is not made for me” And that’s how we end our New Year’s resolution in less than 24 hours.
How can I avoid falling into it? How can I manage to last more than one day? Is there a place where they sell extra motivation? The answer is neither more nor less than CONSTANCE, that’s right, such a short word is the basis for achieving that which sometimes costs us so much and makes us believe that we are not capable.
There are also a series of tips that we are going to see below and that will help us achieve our goal:
Don’t Be in A Hurry
As such, one of the keys is not to be in a hurry to achieve our goals, sometimes running more does not mean arriving earlier, in addition, the fact of wanting to change in itself already means that we have started the road and that little by little we will see results. Therefore, the fact of wanting to arrive earlier does not lead us many times to commit stupid things that could put our health at risk.
Take It as A Habit
Taking it as a daily habit to play sports will help us to do it in a way as if it were part of our day to day, that it costs us less and less work and that we finally do not think of sport as if it were a sacrifice or punishment.
Seek Short-Term Goals
We must be realistic first of all and establish objectives that we can meet without falling apart, without thinking that we have failed and thus we will get enough motivation to continue progressing.
Visualize Progress
One way not to decline is to keep in mind what we have been progressing and when we have those moments of weakness that are sometimes so common, to be able to look back and see that before we could not do certain things that now we can do and that previously seemed impossible.
Always Enjoy What You Do
That’s how easy it is, one of the most important keys is to enjoy exercising, if we can find that sport that hooks us and makes us enjoy each workout, it is very difficult that tomorrow we will stop practicing it.
