Don’t Be Your Own Workout Enemy
When it comes to working out, it goes without saying that you will need a certain level of will power and dedication — but many women are their own worst enemies. Our self conscious attitudes and paranoia of how we are perceived by others drag us down rather than into the gym, and this is hard to overcome.
We all have things about our body that we don’t like (cue sexy Megan Fox with her strange thumbs) but we can’t let them hold us back, Megan certainly doesn’t. Sure, walking into a gym that is filled with ‘the fit people’ can be intimidating, but only if you let it be…
Booster 1 – Buy a new workout wardrobe
When we feel down, how do we cheer ourselves up? Go shopping for new clothes of course! When you are working out it is vital that you feel good, so go shopping for workout gear that you feel comfortable in and head off to the gym with a new-found confidence.
Booster 2 – Lose your paranoia
You walk into a gym all ready to workout and get blown away by all the machines and mirrors, the huge guys in the corner picking up weights the size of houses and the beautiful women who barely break a sweat while pounding away on the running machine and bam — your whole workout goes out the window.
Forget everyone else. Don’t look at the gym pros as you head to your area or simply smile at the fact that you will be one of the dreaded ‘fit people’ if you work hard enough. Take a friend for support or wear an MP3 player and you will soon notice that no one is actually looking at you…
Booster 3 – Plan your workout
Plan what you want to start with, what you will move onto and where you will finish, and when you walk in head straight to what you want and get started. Pretend you are a horse with blinkers on and simply walk into the gym, head held high and knuckle down.
The trick is to not let your fears overcome you. No one is judging you, no one is looking at you and how confident we feel is in your own hands — so suck it up and get working out!
