This post is unlikely to be of interest to fanatics who spend days and nights in the gym and on the treadmill. Professional athletes, for whom exercise is the meaning and way of life, may not read this either. But for all ordinary people who experience ordinary human feelings - laziness, boredom, fatigue - this text can be extremely useful. I know for sure, I myself am.
There has been such a stir around physical education and sports lately that telling someone that you do not like swinging and running means incurring sidelong glances and suspicions of inferiority.
What? Don't you like running? Are you sick? Or just don’t understand?
No, I'm not sick. And I perfectly understand the benefits of exercise. But I just don't like them. I don't like sweating in a stuffy gym, I don't understand how you can spend so many precious hours winding endless circles around the stadium, and I don't strive to amaze everyone around me with the perfection of my forms.
And yet I do exercise for at least an hour a day. Every day. Both in winter and summer. For many years in a row. Why am I doing this?
Of course, in order to be healthier. Almost all scientific research simply screams about the beneficial effect of correct (I emphasize this word!) Loads on the general condition of the body. Moreover, this applies to both a pronounced instant effect on the physical, psychological and emotional state of a person, and long-term consequences.
In other words, sport for me is not a very tasty, but necessary pill that should be taken every day. Its undeniable and undeniable benefit helps me overcome my laziness and boredom. In addition, there are a few simple secrets that will help you sweeten this bitter pill, and over time, who knows, even start having fun (I almost do that).
1. Keep your workouts as short as possible. Three workouts a week for an hour and a half is cool. But it is long and extremely tiring. But short daily 7-, 12- or 15-minute workouts look much more attractive and real. Yes, and you can fit them into your work schedule practically without stress.
2. Choose an activity to your liking. Try to choose an activity for yourself that, even with all your dislike for sports, will not cause you rejection. Don't be fooled by advertisements that promise magical results from different fancy systems. Better to ride a bike or swim with pleasure than, cursing everything in the world, pull iron in a rocking chair. Any physical activity is beneficial, and those that you did in a good mood do it doubly.
3. Take care of your brain. Many brain workers do not like sports just because they find it boring. Their brains are used to constantly receiving and processing new information, looking for solutions to problems, and working hard. During training, muscles work more, and the mind, not used to such an attitude, begins to get bored and annoy you with its requests to finish it all as soon as possible. Try to keep him busy during your workout with pleasant music, an interesting podcast or even a movie - let it not interfere.
4. Don't set ambitious goals right away. Some might argue that the Schwarzenegger poster motivates them to strive for the same accomplishments. But much more often the complete discrepancy between this poster and the picture in the mirror acts the other way around: it kills the last hope and desire to study. Therefore, set yourself completely understandable and reasonable goals, which you can definitely achieve in the foreseeable future. This will instill confidence in you and, perhaps, even awaken your sports excitement.
5. Be more active in your daily life. Who said that for physical development it is imperative to lock yourself in the gym? If you don't like it, then try using the entire surrounding space as a versatile sports field. Stop using the elevator and escalators, start walking in the evenings and during your lunch break, in the end, change from car to bike, why not?
After completing all these points, sooner or later you will be able to easily and imperceptibly introduce sport into your life. And stop hating him.
Good luck!
