When it comes to exercise, a lot of people say they want to look a certain way, be a certain person, and feel a certain way. One issue, is that most of those people don’t work hard enough for it. Sure, there are people that do and achieve big results. But, when you get to the gym you must ask yourself, what do you really want? If you see yourself a certain way, don’t limit yourself on how you should get there. Push your body and get results, but not hurting yourself. Let’s take a look at 4 quick ways to help you be better in the gym or exercise in general.
Work Hard
We hear this all the time, “work hard” and you can get the results you want. This is true. There is a big difference in someone who does the minimum 3 sets of 15 reps and moves on to the next exercise, compared to someone who does 4,5, or 6 sets until they feel like they can’t push anymore. Those people do one rep more, one more, and one more again. If you need to rest 5 to 10 seconds and continue again, do it. The point isn’t to compare yourself to others, but realize the difference in someone that you see who is in good shape, compared to someone who is not. Yes, their nutrition is probably better, but this is about the gym not food.
Working hard means doing an extra set or rep even though you really don’t want to. You need to find your zone, whatever that may be. If that is music or motivation YouTube videos etc. It is not about working hard once or twice, it’s about working hard every single time you workout. If you want to give up, work harder. You will be surprised how far the human body can actually go, being safe though, of course.
Push yourself
Don’t be afraid or overthink the fact that you can do more reps and sets. If you are sitting there and feel like you can do more, do more. Sometimes, just don’t worry about the number you do, just do more. When you go to the gym and look in the mirror, what do you see? If you imagine yourself in better shape, do it. If you are confused on what exercises to do, there is so much resources online to help there should be no excuse. There are enough workout programs on my site that can help guide you.
If you feel as if you cannot do another set, rest and do another one. This will separate you from other people. If you are not how you want to look, you must push yourself harder. Take less rest periods, do more sets or reps. You can change your life and make yourself better. Next time you go to the gym, hike, or exercise at home, know in your mind that it will be different from now on. Know you are going to push harder than the last time you worked out.
Focus
One thing to really focus on, is to put your cell phones down and do the reps. A lot of people stare at their phones, go on social media, text people etc. It’s one thing to pick your music, but other than that, send a text, “sorry I’m at the gym, will ttyl”. Go to the gym, grab the weights and focus on doing more. Focus on pushing past the point where you think you might stop. Get in your zone and talk less at the gym. One day when you are the way you always imagined, you will think back on how focused you were and determined.
Let go of distractions or people around you. Focus on the form and what you must be getting done. Focus on being disciplined and achieving your goals. Keep your image clear on what exactly you want. If you are trying to lose weight, build muscle, compete or more, stay focused and achieve that goal. When you start looking better than people around you, they will get motivated and ask what you have been doing. Make a difference, focus on you, and focus on being better when it comes to exercise.
Mindset
When you get to the gym and have a lot on your mind, well guess what, so does everyone else. If you want to create a better you physically, stop worrying about issues. You must stay so focused that nothing will bring you down. Life is so short, that when you look back you will wonder why you worried about that issue now. The easier you can get over something, the stronger you will become mentally and physically. If you feel down and sad, well guess what, get up and move anyway. Go exercise and make yourself stronger and better every day.
The mind can pay games on you. The mind will bring you down, but guess what, you can control how you feel. Focus on a strong mindset. If you start your day off with a bad mindset, you might be upset all day. If you have a strong mindset, you can get over issues faster and move on. Change your mindset, see your goals ahead, push yourself, and work harder than anyone else.
