As I’ve said before, the gym is my therapy. While I’m working out, I focus on my routine,
form, physical goals, and thoughts in general.
I don’t really pay attention to what or who is around me unless there is
continuous grunting or loud noises…not uncommon for a few meatballs in the
gym. However, I couldn’t help but notice
most people in front of me the other day when I was on the stairmaster. At least seven people were hanging and/or
leaning on their equipment. It’s like
the equipment was actually holding them up!
Hey, I’m exhausted after ten minutes on the stairmaster
and feel like leaning on it, but I want to do the work and exert all of my
effort so that I can get the most results from my energy on that machine. Whatever
machine you choose to use, choose the right speed so that you don’t feel the
need to lean on it. Leaning on the
machine is not going to get you where you want to be. Stand up straight and feel the full range of
motion that will utilize all of your muscles so you can get the best results.
If you’re actually holding a conversation, then
you’re not working out hard enough. If
you’re reading while you’re exercising, you’re probably not utilizing that
machine like you should be. Put in real
effort, sweat, and feel your heart pumping!
Don’t waste your time after you’ve actually made the time to get to the
gym and commit to working out. It’s
called “working out” for a reason. It’s
definitely not easy, but so worth the trouble, commitment and end results.
