Make your own CHOICE!!!

Why are we always in a race to keep up with what others have to do for their fitness?? Why do the exact same thing when we are talking about two different people, two different bodies, different fitness levels and interests here?? When you do something of someone else’s interest there are chances you will discontinue it soon, loose interest in it faster than them and also your body might not be able to cope up with it as it is not your idea of fun. Instead, do what you like doing best and it becomes your exercise. When I say fitness and exercise I don’t mean it has to be in a gym premise. A workout need not only be pumping those muscles and walking on the treadmill with deafening music. Now that’s a myth. There are so many options available today. If you say you’re bored of the cliché gym cardio routine, its ok, you still have a chance to become fit and achieve your goal. I generally come across a lot of people complaining of how bored they get to do the same thing each day. It doesn’t feel different or challenging or fun. This way the motivation factor drops which directly leads to no exercise at all.

I would say, ask yourself as to what physical activity is it that you like doing. Only that can keep you motivated and regular at it which will help you see positive results and bring you closer to your health target.

Just because your best friend goes for dance classes out of his love for dance you need not accompany him to prove your dancing or non dancing skills when its not your area of interest, because after a point you will get over it and stop making the little effort you once did.

Similarly, if a colleague suggests a brilliant fat burning idea of going for a jog every morning you do not need to do it if you not a morning person and if jogging doesn’t suit your body. This will only lead to oversleeping and avoiding exercise completely or for that matter even your colleague.

Again, if a near by gym is offering a heavy annual membership, you need not act ambitious and get yourself enrolled if you are a total sports or an outdoor person, because the gym sessions will last only for a few weeks after which you will not only end up feeling guilty of wasting the membership money but also refrain yourself from paying up at a club to play your favourite sport.

What I mean to say from all the above examples is that make your own Choice, make your own routine. You can take up dance classes, aerobics and power yoga classes, go swimming, play tennis or squash, etc. Pick what you like; identify what suits you and your body the most. That ways you will end up being regular at it, following it because it is what you enjoy and not you’re best friend or colleague. Your body will be happy and thank you by showing positive results.

So do not follow “the trend” or “the Hot New Thing” if it’s not “Your Thing”

Make your own CHOICE and keep at it.
