Have you ever found it hard actually getting to the gym? You have good intentions, and plan on waking up early and getting it done and gaining the muscle mass you long for, but you end up sleeping in, and just admit defeat, thinking you will never muster up the self-will to get in there.
It happens to us all. It’s hard sometimes to actually get into the gym, but there are some tips that can help you get by the excuses. I talk a lot about overcoming excuses on the podcast.
1. If planning to go in the morning set yourself up for success. Have your workout clothes laid out the night before, set your alarm and put your phone across the room so you have to actually get up and go get it. And go to bed at a decent time, don’t stay up late binging your favorite show when you know you are trying to get up early.
2. If you are planning to go after work, plan ahead. Pack your gym bag and have it in your car so that you don’t go home first and get distracted by something else.
3. Write down your why. Have your reason always in front of you, set it as your desktop background, tape it to your dash in your car, or on your bathroom mirror. You need to know why you want to get fit. Is it for health purposes? Longevity? To have more energy? For your kids? Your spouse? To have more self-esteem? Figure out your reason and hold onto that.
Remember there’s no excuse that can’t be overcome when it comes to gaining muscle. You can accomplish this, it’s just a matter of going for it and committing to get in the gym. You’ve got this.
