Lately, I’ve seen a lot of people go to the gym just for something to do. They show lack of passion for it, like they don’t have the energy and heart to get in shape. Most people at the gym I go to, look pretty bored doing it and they don’t train with enough intensity. Many people in town, use that gym to lose weight and stuff. Not many folks use it for bodybuilding like I use it for. The thing is, you don’t want to go to the gym just for something to do, like if it’s nothing. You want to show your passion of going to the gym and take pride in doing it. Going to the gym that actually means something is important. Set goals for yourself each day you go to the gym and achieve that goal. Here’s what you do, think to yourself, “How intense do I want to train? Should I train heavy or light? Should I do more reps and sets? What workouts should I do today” Things like that.
I’ve had people at the gym stop what they’re doing to watch me a little bit ’cause I believe they admire my dedication and passion like going to the gym actually means something. Some people would even talk to me a bit while I’m resting between a set. Just to comment on my training skills. So this is one way to get in shape successfully, is train with passion and take pride in everything you do.
A lot of people work out just to be happier and get rid of stress. Just to help brighten up their day after bad days at work or at home. That’s the reason I do it too, to make me happier and become stronger emotionally, but I work out to get fit and at the gym, I like to show my passion for it. Just to show that I really love what I do.
