Hopping On The Gym Train Shouldn't Entail Pain Beginners Yoga Orange County CA

By Carol Rogers


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.

Without rapidly made improvements to their physiques, most people are quick to throw in the towel and call it a day. Yet, the opposite also stands true: should they manage to achieve the body of their dreams, and in record time too, they're just as likely to quit at that point as the person in the first example who had not managed to make any real progress.

Because whether they have reached their ideals or not, the reason most people fall short of the finish line, settling for less, and can't seem to keep that fire burning under their donkeys, can be summed up in one word: habit. It takes about two weeks some say three in order to gain or lose a habit.

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.

A split second decision later, and just like the Berlin Wall all banged up and out of shape the vision of their dream physique comes shattering to the ground. But it's of little consequence to them since their old habits, and big-boned donkey ways, are simply too habitually ingrained already.

The simple solution would have been for them to have placed more emphasis on the vision of how they would have benefitted from subjecting themselves to the fire, rather than focusing on the fire itself. Simply put, burning feels bad; but coming out on the other side of the experience, feels good.

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.
