Real talk. Its all in your mindset, and its the main reason most people are walking around obese and unhealthy. It takes an incredible amount of motivation and consistency to maintain a nice, fit body. Its become an obsession of mine actually. No matter how my day goes, i make atleast an hour to fit in a workout on a body part
Im laying here now tired as hell, knowing its my day to work my biceps. The average person would say "fuk it, ill do it tomorrow". "Tomorrow" will turn into 2 days, 2days will turn into 1 week, 1 week will turn into never. But me, im about to force myself to get up and pick these weights up. My motivation is actually seeing the results of picking those weights up. My motivation is looking in the mirror and liking what i see. My motivation is having had women compliment and rub on my arms. My motivation is feeling the stares when i walk around in a sleeveless shirt or a wifebeater. It gives you a confidence and a certain edge. Even other dudes look at you different when you are in good physical shape. This is all of my motivation.
Ive made plenty of threads about approaching women. The main reason i have so much confidence in cold approaching a female is because im extremely confident in my looks. Have i gotten EVERY number? Of course not, but i got a good shooting percentage and it stems from the confidence i have when approaching.
I know its that time of year when everybody makes their New Years resolutions and #1 on most peoples' list is to get in better shape. Well im here to tell you that its not easy. Most people lack MOTIVATION & CONSISTENCY. Most people think they will see results rite away and will get discouraged if they dont. It doesnt work like that. Its a long process depending on where you are currently at. Thats why its called a "lifestyle change". You have to change your entire routine. You have to change your plans and the way you eat. You have to fit your workout into your day NO MATTER WHAT. Your workout has to become just as important as everything else in your life. Im at the point now where if i miss a workout i feel bad. Thats kinda where you need to get mentally. Exercise can become addictive (like really, look it up). I love it. I dont indulge in drugs so i get my "high" from exercise.
I know theirs alot of you who are out of shape and unhappy with your body. Only you can change that. The more i think about it, the more i realize WHY there are so many people walking around obese. Because ITS FREAKIN HARD!!!! Its easy to sit around all day and do nothing. Its easy to lay on the couch and watch reality tv all day. Its easy to eat fatty foods and to not monitor whats going in your body. Whats hard is working all day and then going to the gym to exercise. Whats hard is maintaining a household and or going to school and finding time to workout. Whats hard is resisting the desire to eat unhealthy foods and replacing it with healthy food. This takes work and research in itself. Its not easy. If being healthy and fit was a piece of cake, everybody would be walking around looking like fitness models. But its not. It takes work. It takes time. It takes discipline. It takes motivation. It takes consistency. It takes sacrifice. It takes an overall strong mindstate.
Maybe other posters who are into fitness can chime in with tips to help those of you who are currently having weight issues. Or those of you who have lost weight can drop some hints and tips. Like i said earlier, this is the time of year when everybody makes that pledge to better themselves physically. Remember: it starts with the mental and how bad you want.
Peace and goodluck
Thats why i said its all mental. If you're down & out and depressed its gonna be hard to exercise. Exercising in itself requires a certain mindset
.
That's usually the best motivator, breh.
