If You Love It, You will Do It

     It is that time again. It is time to go to the gym, or outside to run, or up to your home gym to do another workout. Exercise has become a burden to you. It is another thing in life that you are forced to do. Exercise has become like Brussels sprouts. Nobody likes Brussels sprouts, and if they do, they are kind of odd themselves. People eat Brussels sprouts because that is what you do when you are a mature adult. You eat things and do things that are good for your body. This lack of excitement that accompanies exercise and weight loss is one of the reasons that so many people fail to reach their weight loss goals. How can you change this and make exercise more enjoyable?

Find something that you love. This doesn抰 mean that you have to find a workout program that you love, and want to do every day. For most people that exercise program doesn抰 exist. No, find an activity that you love and then try to find workouts that will improve your abilities at that activity. This is the same principle that many people apply to their every day work. Why will you not allow yourself to go to a job that you hate, but you will continue to work out day after day doing a workout that you hate?

If you find an activity that you love, you can find workouts that will help you perform better. Many times the workouts will turn out to be the same as the workouts that you were previously doing, but now you have attached meaning to them. No longer are you lifting the weight so you can reach a predetermined number of reps, now you are lifting that weight to improve your drive on the golf course Or the distance that you can cast your fishing line. Or you are increasing your muscle so you can dance more gracefully at the ballroom. You are able to help yourself to see results in your daily life. Many times these results in your preferred activities will be more evident than seeing your desired weight loss goals.

If you have an end in mind that will improve your enjoyment of a favorite activity, then you will be more engaged in finding things that will improve your workouts. You will no longer dread to take training supplements, but you will seek out the ones that will give you the best results. You will take supplements like whey protein that will provide your body with additional amounts of protein without the fats and carbohydrate that other protein supplements contain. You will try to take it during the ideal times of the day to get the maximum benefits that whey protein will provide for additional lean muscle growth. The same lean muscle growth that will burn massive amounts of calories during their creation and upkeep in your body. You won抰 do this for the Brussels sprouts reason, but because you are mature. No you will do this to improve yourself in your activity of choice. You will do it so that you will have a clearer mind when you are doing your favorite crossword puzzle, or you can fit into more clothes when you go shopping with your friends.

When you stop thinking about the process and start to think about the goal, then you will start to become passionate about your weight loss and your overall health. You will stop thinking about exercise as a daily chore, and you will start to look forward to it and the benefits that you will see in your daily activities. It seems that there are many ways to lose weight, but the most successful way to go about making a change in your weight will come with a change in your attitude towards it.
