With so many ways of approaching gym training, it's little wonder there's so much confusion abound in the fitness industry. No pain, no gain, is how the somewhat cliched fitness axiom goes. But with so many people placing unrealistic expectations upon themselves, is it any wonder so few endure past their first few weeks of beginners yoga Orange County CA, the most difficult part of an exercise program to see any tangible results.
It is a bit like enticing an overweight donkey with a carrot your fitness goals being the carrot, and you being the fat ass, pardon, big boned donkey, unless one keeps raising the bar and their fitness ideals are kept just slightly out of reach, seemingly attainable but still outside one's grasp, there's usually little motivation to keep pressing forward towards bigger and better milestones.
Then it is off to McDonald's for two celebratory Big Macs, washed down by a large Diet Coke, which they hope is big enough to cut a few calories off the burgers before they're digested. One can not really blame them. After all, they have a lifetime of bad habits compelling them toward the burgers. But with only a week invested into getting into shape, the new activity had not had the opportunity to take root within their subconscious minds. The minimum of fourteen days required to form a new habit had not been reached yet, so working out regularly still felt like a foreign concept to them.
Even the most reluctant newbie can be seen spitting fire and reaching for the heaviest weights they can find during their first week of training. But by the second week, the full-body aches and pains, commonly referred to as DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness, are being felt to the Nth degree. And being unable to lift even a fraction of the weight they did the week prior, they start second-guessing their willingness, and even desire, to finish up what is only the second week of their fitness regimen.
And, almost like Humpty Dumpty, they commit fitness suicide by leaping from the heights of their aspirations, while screaming, self destructive statements. Then all of their health goals come tumbling down. And all the fitness trainers and all friends could never put Humpty together again. Because poor Humpty had come to identify with self defeat way more than with any sense of accomplishment.
For a person to start enjoying an activity that they'd otherwise dread, the first step is to rewire their brains. Simple. The process involves establishing new dopamine pathways, allowing for new and unique clusters of synapsis and neural connections to be formed but, in the absence of any neurosurgeons, perhaps a more down-to-earth approach would be more appropriate?
In order to rewire a brain, all that's required is its willingness to try something, anything. As long as whatever is being attempted is done consistently, and over a period of three weeks brainwashing's virtually assured. And why? Because the brain loves habit; it thrives on routine. For example, after several workout sessions of leaving the gym and feeling like superman, the brain comes to accept this as the naturally expected outcome of exercising.
And with recent studies confirming that nearly 50% of people's daily activities are being motivated purely by habit i. E. People spend nearly half waking-lives operating on autopilot, it's hardly far-fetched to conclude that whatever they decide to spend the next couple weeks doing could have a lasting impact on the course of the rest of their lives.
