If you visit the gym and your progress is slow or not at all, then you need to learn to overcome yourself in training. Our possibilities are limited only by our consciousness. To make your workouts more effective, and progress did not stand still for years, you need to know a few simple, but very useful tips. This is what will be discussed.
So, you have been training for years, but the benefits of training are becoming less and less tangible. You have already thought to quit training, but you try, fight with yourself and go to the gym or sports field again with the hope that this workout will bring you the desired result. And as soon as you cross the threshold of the gym, the inspiration disappears and the workout fails again. This is a psychological problem and must be addressed immediately.
Do not force yourself, you do not need to treat training as a duty, try to realize and feel that this is exactly your choice. Don't schedule a workout, just go to the gym and do whatever you feel like doing. Do a few of these "for the soul" workouts, and it will put you on track. After that, you can already start planning your workout and setting goals for yourself. These two simple tips will help you start exercising properly and overcome yourself.
Further, in order for the training to bring more benefits, you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself. We talk about it often, but we forget about it all the time in training. Do not feel sorry for yourself, this does not mean that you need to lift unbearable weights and train for 3 hours or more. Not. Do not allow thoughts of fatigue. When doing the exercises, focus on overcoming the weight, rather than observing yourself (usually the opposite is true). If it doesn't work, try not counting reps, but just pick the right weight and do as many reps as you can, over time it will become a habit, and you will train harder.
And the last aspect is to overcome pain during exertion. Don't be afraid of pain. It is impossible to teach this, but everyone can. You need to set a goal and act. Tell myself - yes, maybe I will feel bad after this, yes, maybe I will faint, but I will! And act with such thoughts. While doing this exercise, concentrate on the working muscles. The longer it takes, the better. Remember, every extraneous thought diminishes the benefits of your workout! Concentrate on breathing, heartbeat, sensations in the muscles when you exercise, and then the effectiveness of your workouts will increase significantly! Good luck!
