I got a fitness card, but after a few visits, it expired. This situation should be experienced by many friends, right? A while ago, a gym owner came out to reveal the inside story. The money earned by the gym is these people's money. Because of your impulse, he got an annual card. However, he knows that there are very few people who can really persist. I used to go to the gym and see empty venues, always worried about whether it would close down, until I learned from the sales staff that there were thousands of members who had applied for cards! With the scale of this gym, of course, it can't accommodate so many people, but the operator knows that most people won't go.
Having said so many digressions about the operation of gyms, I want to explain a problem-most people regard fitness as a chore. Although the desire to exercise urges them to apply for a card and persist in it for money, in the long run, no one can call it real perseverance. People who can persist for a long time must have experienced the fun of fitness.
But the current fitness course is really boring and full of frustration. Watching the strong man around him growl and lift the barbell weighing 100 kilograms, and then throw it heavily on the barbell rack, panting and sweating like no one's watching, and you can only take off all the barbell pieces and quietly lift the light weight. Standing next to those veterans, I feel terrible. Not to mention that. After going back, my muscles ached for two days in a row, and it was difficult to get out of bed. When all this has passed for two months, there is still no change in myself in the mirror, and there is a voice in my heart:
One to two, the original blood has cooled by half, and the frequency of going to fitness is getting lower and lower, and it is finally put on hold. It's frustrating, isn't it? But I want to tell you a good news, most people are like this; The better news is that this is entirely due to normal human nature. You don't have to blame yourself too much, just find a way.
Yes, there is a way to solve this problem. Many persistent people are willing to describe themselves as men with amazing perseverance, but in fact they just have mastered the method. Life is a game of wits and wits with ourselves, so we must all deal with our powerful instincts wisely.
First of all, we must define a minimum goal.
If you want your fitness program to continue, you must be willing to go first.
When we apply for a fitness card, we usually check whether the facilities and equipment of the gym are complete, whether the lights are bright, whether the air conditioner is comfortable, and even check the hygiene of the shower room, whether there is a sauna room and so on. It can be said that these tall facilities are sometimes one of the impulse sources to urge us to apply for a card, which is also the reason why the gym is becoming more and more upscale.
However, when we put on beautiful sports equipment and walked into this aristocratic club, we were waiting for a hellish training plan, so slowly, going to the gym was bound by a painful impression, and going to the gym was no longer expected, but became a torture.
Therefore, the first step is to fall in love with the gym again, even if it's just a bath and sauna, it's more cost-effective than doing nothing at all. Moreover, people are the product of the environment. In that environment full of hormones, you may be tempted to do it twice, so you can make money, which is better than sitting on the sofa.
Even for the most demanding trainers, I suggest that such a gym leisure trip should be regularly interspersed in the training plan to make you fall in love with this place that initially touched you.

In fact, fitness is not as serious as you think. A strong body is not necessarily obtained by lifting weights or running.
Our primitive ancestors did not have the concept of fitness. For them, work, play and exercise are all the same thing, and their health is still great. Let's go back to that naive era and learn a few primitive human movements. You will find that the gym can be so fun.
Don't underestimate these fun moves. Compared with simple and rude iron lifting and running, these movements require higher mental concentration. To be honest, some movements are difficult at first.
Children can crawl without teaching, which is our instinct evolved from quadruped walking, and it is also the most basic exercise mode that accords with our body anatomy. But exercise adults crawl a little differently, not with knees, but with hands and feet. There are also side climbing and back climbing, which are also good exercise methods.
Don't think this action is funny. There are some questions in it, which can greatly strengthen the coordination ability of rotator cuff, hip flexor, core muscle group and whole body. It is a compulsory course for parkour athletes. Advanced practitioners can crawl steadily on the railing with their hands and feet in a straight line.
I like going to the gym during the day. There were few people at that time. I turn on the light and air conditioning in the aerobics room and play various games on the clean wooden floor, including various crawling exercises.
Running, jumping and crawling are the most basic sports modes of human beings, and our bodies are designed around this kind of sports mode, so jumping is also a very important sport. In our present life, there is basically no chance to jump except walking, so the degradation of lower limbs is particularly serious. Leg aging refers to the slow and clumsy movements caused by the degradation of lower limbs, which is manifested as old age.
Jumping can activate the explosive force and coordinated response from all parts of the lower limbs to the core and even the whole body.
First, jump vertically in place. When jumping in the air, keep your legs as high as possible. Conditional gyms may have jump boxes for you to jump up and down. You may be clumsy at first, landing heavily and gently, and soon you will find the feeling of lightness again.
Play on the floor like a child, all kinds of tumbling, dancing, punching on the ground (what the hell) and frog skills, and give full play to your childlike innocence. These are all good exercises, but pay attention to safety, don't be too reluctant to move, try to be light and smooth, and listen to the subtle feelings of your body. A few days ago, I tried to do the practice of going forward short (just like a cat walking forward in a house with low smallpox). The reason is that I found it difficult to drill under the parking pole at the entrance of the community, so I specially practiced this movement to feel which part of my body is not flexible.
If you feel embarrassed, you can turn off the light in the fucking room. That's what my friend did.
There are many fun games about fitness. You can add them to your normal training program as a supplement. In fact, even if you just practice these "crooked ways", you can achieve good results. This kind of training has a special name and genre abroad, so I won't introduce it too much here. The theme of today's article is to let everyone know that exercise is not only boring running and monotonous lifting iron, but also various possibilities, so as to regain the fun of exercise and let more friends stick to exercise for a long time.
Regarding the disadvantages of Wade's fitness system and the actions and feelings of more functional training, I will sort out my superficial experience when I have the opportunity in the future.
I wish you can enjoy sports and put aside anxiety and utility. Then, from today on, you will become a "sports enthusiast". As long as you persevere, your body will reward you with more surprises.
