Make yourself exercise

Summer is here, but it's not too late to start working out and use the coming months to show off your muscles. Now, perhaps more than in winter, motivation is needed because temptations lurk from all sides, from the invitation of a friend for a beer, to the desire to lie in the shade. For starters, avoid the following phrases when you hit the gym:

Everyone is in better shape than me - Don't get depressed when you go to the gym and see guys with ripped muscles. Let them be your encouragement because they may have started from the same position as you, which means you can look like that. If you only compare yourself to those who are hotter than you, sooner or later you will give up on exercise.

I can't do this - The thought that you can't do something sabotages you because you won't even try to overcome the obstacles. Forget about the "all or nothing" attitude, accept the fact that you can do five push-ups now, and eventually you'll get to maybe 50 or 100.

Everyone is looking at me - Maybe in the gym you feel like an elephant in a glass shop, but others probably don't notice that. Most are focused on themselves and their reflection in the mirror and have better things to do than watch newcomers being tortured.

I'll do the same as him - When you see a guy who looks good and seems to know what he's doing, don't try to copy him. The exercises he does may not suit your body and abilities, so it is best to hire a trainer who will design a program for you, reports Novosti.
