Pride in Exercising | It’s Not Just About How You Look

April 22, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

There are thousands of articles on the internet about the physical benefits of exercise, so I won’t attempt to add to those.  This post is more about the pride which comes with sticking to and completing an exercise program.

I am currently working through P90X for the third time.  I didn’t jump right in — I first conditioned my body gradually and got used to daily exercise using Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer, completing two rounds of TMT before moving on to P90X.

The first round was actually the easiest for me to stick with.  I was extremely devoted and never missed a day, even when sick.  The pride and psychological benefits that come with starting and finishing a program are just indescribable, especially an extreme fitness program like P90X or INSANITY.

This sense of pride is developed through the devotion required to finish a program and overcome the mental and physical challenges involved.  It’s also a proven fact that exercise boosts  self-esteem.  The TV infomercials neglect to mention the psychological benefits and mental changes that occur as you work through a fitness program.  To finish a program alone takes will power, devotion, and mental strength, which in turn builds a sense of pride, accomplishment and confidence that affects all aspects of your life.

Choose the fitness program that’s right for you and get started today!

Exercise Motivation, Part Two

March 31, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

This is part two in a series of articles on exercise motivation. Part one is here.

Here are some thoughts and tips for dealing with those days (or weeks) when you either don’t feel like exercising or have too much going on to get in a regular workout. This assumes you’re doing a comprehensive, structured program, such as P90X, INSANITY, or Turbo Fire.

First things first:  Don’t get down about it! Everyone has these days, weeks, and even months or years. Just accept it and move on.  The most important factor is that you do exercise the majority of days out of the week/weeks out of the month.

Here are some tips for dealing with lack of motivation:

  • Go for a walk on your lunch break or after dinner.
  • Try working out at a different time of day.  It’s common to become bored with a routine schedule.  Maybe you’ll feel more motivated early in the morning or as the day draws to a close.
  • Find a friend to walk or workout with; help each other stay motivated.
  • Mix up your workouts. Try Ten Minute Trainer one day–  It’s only 10 minutes!
  • Let yourself have a “cheat meal” IF you’ve done your regular workout.  Sometimes a little reward can keep you on track…just don’t do this one on a daily basis.
