Many people are sure that it is very difficult to be active and play sports, but this is not so. Consider the 10 most common obstacles that prevent you from starting to play sports.
10. I once practiced, but then quit, because I didn’t succeed
You need to look for the right way to achieve your goal. If you, for example, exercise in order to lose weight, but at the same time eat too much, there will be no special results. An individual nutrition program should be drawn up.
As for the overly significant loads that could not be mastered initially - you just need to start training with not very difficult exercises. Loads should be increased gradually. Do not forget about motivation: it is much easier to continue training if you have in your head the image of the ideal body that you are striving for.
9. I get too tired at work, and I have no strength to do later
A person who does not physically load himself at all gets even more tired of various activities during the day. Due to physical exertion, people become more energetic, vigorous, so fatigue is not an excuse for laziness. In order not to justify your inaction in this way, do it in the morning, before work. Of course, for this you will have to get up a little earlier than usual.
8. I do not have time to play sports
Even the busiest person can devote an hour to training. If you still have problems with this, use the above recommendation: try to wake up earlier. Donate an hour of sleep on exercise - and after a while you will notice that you began to feel much better. Sports in the morning fill a person with energy for the whole day.
If you still can not afford to spend time on exercise, try to walk as often as possible. Between a trip by car and a walk, if possible, choose the latter. To maintain health it will be enough just to walk for half an hour before bedtime.
7. I am pleased with my appearance
With the help of physical exercises, you can not only significantly improve your appearance, but also strengthen your body. If you are completely satisfied with yourself and do not complain about well-being, classes will help you stay in good shape for a long time: some people train until they are old. Being engaged in himself, a person feels a great confidence in his abilities, he makes a significant contribution to his own future.
6. I do not have good physical fitness
You can start playing sports without good physical fitness. Today, people who want to improve their body are available a variety of training programs - including for beginners. If you still think that you are not ready to go in for sports, just try to walk in the fresh air every day. This will prepare the body for training. When you are still planning to go in for sports, invite your friends to start training with you: it will turn out to feel the support.
5. I am bored with sports
It is quite tiring to carry out routine exercises daily (especially training without a company of like-minded people). However, classes are not always monotonous and boring. To train with pleasure, choose only the kind of sport that really interests you. You should also not constantly do one thing: try to diversify your workouts as often as possible. Make a program to use all the muscles during training.
4. My family does not want to support me
If your family members are not at all interested in sports, and therefore you do not feel support, try to influence them not with pressure, but with maximum softness. You can offer your loved ones not a boring trip to the gym, but a real adventure: for example, a bike ride or rock climbing. Do not be offended by relatives and friends if they do not support you in sports at all. Continue to train: perhaps they will notice remarkable results and then they will want to join.
3. I am afraid to get injured while playing sports
To avoid injuries during training, you need to remember safety precautions and engage, focusing on certain rules. If you are just starting to exercise, avoid too much exertion, study the program for beginners. Otherwise, you can hurt yourself very much, and as a result, you will have to forget about training for a long time in order to recover. If you doubt that you will do everything correctly, engage with an experienced trainer who will tell you about all the important subtleties and show how to perform the exercises correctly.
2. I'm too lazy to do
To overcome your laziness, you need to know exactly what exactly you are doing. Set a goal for yourself (however, keep in mind that it must be real). It is necessary to work not to the detriment of oneself, but above oneself: train when you feel a rise in strength, not their decline. Do not force yourself to train very early if you wake up hard.
1. Going to the gym or to the pool is too expensive for me
To be active and devote time to sports, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money. Choose affordable gyms or just make the right home workout program. You can not purchase expensive weighting materials and dumbbells, but make them from improvised materials. To create dumbbells, for example, you need only empty plastic bottles, as well as water or sand. The main thing is to do it regularly: this rule is also valid for home training.
