How to overcome laziness

For many people, putting on their sneakers and going to training is a difficult task. According to a Metropolitan Magazine article, in the beginning it is easy to be overcome by laziness and lack of will. But in RM Trainer opinion, setting a goal, among other guidelines, will help you not miss a single workout.

The objectives must be clear and from them establish a plan, that is, a route to reach them. We should develop a plan according to our level and not go from 0 to 100 in a week, but we should increase the intensity and performance little by little. The better this plan is, better the results!

1. Set a specific time to train

Setting a specific time to complete each task is one of the best ways to be productive. Don't just make a to-do list; assigning a specific time to each of them will make it more difficult to postpone them. If you know you have to go to train at a specific time, it will be more difficult to postpone it because “it will be your time to train”. If you don't set a time, you'll probably leave it for later and end up missing that workout.

2. Training environment

You should make sure that the training location is pleasant and that it serves your interests/goals. For example, training in the gym guarantees us company and planning (supposedly), and can even lead to greater motivation, as well as the possibility of using different sophisticated equipment that we would never have at home. In this way, training in a pleasant space, as well as outdoors if you prefer, or in a group, this can help you to increase your motivation.

3. Create a habit

In general, people are of customs, so it's important to create a habit. The first week is the hardest, then the body asks for more. The hardest thing here will be to overcome the initial laziness and not look for excuses to abandon the training plan.

4. Challenges, the key to staying motivated

Goals are always important. They are the way we humans give ourselves purpose. We need these goals so that motivation doesn't decrease, feel the gratification of well done things. That adrenaline rush of reaching goals makes endorphins spike and we feel better. Training to feel good, to gain quality of life are more than enough goals to motivate you to practice physical exercise every day, but without a doubt what motivates you the most are the challenges, the competition.

For goals to be effective, they must be realistic and achievable. Furthermore, targeted targets are also more effective if distributed on a small scale. Goals should not be too big (long term), they should be implemented in small doses (short/medium term). In other words, small challenges that are met and, as they are met, add more.

If you belong to the vast majority and end up giving up prematurely because you get discouraged, then RM Trainer advises you to consult a Personal Trainer to find out what he can do for you.

For example, through personal training you can have:

- a specific training schedule, which will greatly improve your attendance;

- train in the place you like the most (indoor, outdoor, home, individual or duo);

- creating daily habits that will lead you to achieve your results;

- constant challenges and guaranteed progress.

Self-esteem is a very important part of yourself!
