What Not To Do When Working Out
It seems like we’re always making lists of things. Things we want to do someday, things we need to get at the grocery store, warrior shout outs, our workouts, etc. It goes on and on … but what about things not to do? I’m talking about things you shouldn’t ever do when trying to workout or get healthy.
Lets give it a shot, in no particular order or course. Remember this is what NOT to do, try putting NEVER in front of all of these.
- Stop trying to get healthy — it’s worth it, your worth it
- Let someone tell you that you can’t do it — you can do anything you put your mind to.
- Put your health second — you can’t help anyone if your out of commission
- Ignore your body — it’s smarter than you are
- Wear a shirt to the gym two sizes to small — unless you have a 6 pack
- Forget the before photos — you’ll appreciate them later
- Try endless crash diets — there are no sustainable shortcuts in fitness
- Forget goal setting — how else will you achieve your dreams? make sure they’re realistic and challenging
- Stop showering to save water — ummm … the smell
- Wing it — planning will ensure your success
- Quit early — you have more in you than you think, push through the pain
- Forget how you got fat — lest you make the same mistake twice
- Wear white after Labor Day — I have no idea
- Stop to tie your shoe on the treadmill — face rash baby
- Drop weights — it’s loud
- Skip breakfast — start your day with a good foundation
- Signup for a gym without trying first — you never know until you try
- Keep your workout the same — confusing your body is the key to growth and loss
- Ignore form — you’ll get hurt and then be decommissioned
- Forget your pants — had to, sorry Ryan
- Be afraid to sweat — it’s liquid motivation and feels great
- Go it alone — if you don’t have to … friends, family, or online support are important to success
- Ignore weight lifting — it’s an important tool in your weight-loss journey
- Expect it to be easy — if it were. everyone would be thin
- Forget why your getting healthy — motivation, motivation, motivation
I’m sure I missed some but it’s a good start. Do you have any good ones to add?
