Fitness: Lack of Motivation
Tired? Lazy? Just don't feel like it?
Many people have the intellectual desire to go to the gym, go for
a walk around the neighborhood or bike ride on a peaceful trail. However, when
the time arrives for one to take the needed physical "action" to get
out of the "comfy house" or leave the "nurturing cave"
one's mental desires of fitness models are left unmet and exercise takes the back burner.
Motivation:
The question that needs to asked is "What do we personally
need, to motivate us to get out there and move our bodies?" Is it dancing?
Swimming? Bowling? Golf? Or could it be the more intense sports such as Soccer,
Football, Running or going to the gym?
What do we personally need in our lives to inspire us to get our
body moving?
Do we need awesome gym wear to feel secure? Do we need a personal trainer? Do we need to read
more books to quench our own lack of knowledge?
More Questions to Ask:
• What makes me feel happy?
• Would I rather be alone or with an exercise buddy?
• How many days per week do I realistically see myself exercising?
• What do I need right now to make me feel excited about getting
out there and moving my body?
Rules:
The rules are that there are no rules until you, yourself create
them for YOU. There is no need to follow a book, some T.V. personality's advice
or engage in the latest trendy diet.
Once an individual decides to "listen" to their own body
and acknowledge their own needs, then all of the outer stuff will fall into
place naturally. It all begins with "perspective" and individual
thought.
Logistics Require More Questions:
Workout clothing is important. What type of exercise will one be engaging in? Does
one need a sturdy gym bag? What kind of gym does one need? A social one or a facility that
provides privacy?
In the End it is about Perspective:
Lack of motivation usually translates as "my needs are not
being met." Ask the needed questions through self inquiry and find out
what is truly needed in order to get out there and stay healthy.
Bodybuilding- Fibromyalgia
Being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia can come as a shock for someone
who exercises often and eats a well balanced and healthy diet. The
medical field is not clear on what causes it, however they do know that it
affects the muscles, soft tissue and creates symptoms such as pain, fatigue,
restless sleep and sensitive joints.
Anyone who suffers from this ailment knows firsthand how painful
it can be. Getting a full body massage or overexerting physical activity can
leave one feeling sore for months.
