The benefits of working out are many. Not the ones you might think of. Ok, yes, you'll get a rock hard body and look great in a bikini but that's not what I'm talking about.
The starters: Always play Survivors's Eye of the tiger loud while working out in the gym. People will get uncomfortable while you sing out loud "eye of the tiger" while pushing yourself 'til sweat starts pouring from your body. I however didn't do this in the beginning. I'd play Maskinen and cry. Although this sounds ever so sad and maybe a bit repelling, it actually worked nicely.
Second: Running at the same pace as the gentlemen or lady beside you on the treadmill. Eventually the person next to you starts running faster, with longer steps. Make them uncomfortable by increasing your running pace 'til theirs. So now you are competing and since your level of disappointment and sadness is incredibly high expect yourself to win.
Third: Fell free to inspect all the man candy. They check you out as well. Be careful when bending over (for example,when adjusting the weight on a machine)
Fourth: Talk and laugh in the gym. Don't be that silent trainer. I mean, working out should be referred to something amusing, so make it something amusing and enjoyable.
Fifth: Encourage others in the gym by giving them compliments. It feels right through the heart nice to do anything like that.
Sixth: Bring a pal. The benefits of having someone to joke around with is many. If he knows his way around the gym take advantage of his knowledge.
To be continued I think. Obviously there is not only one or two things that's beneficially by working out.
And also you get out. People see you. It feels so liberating. You'd imagine my grateful joy of being seen since circumstances made me feel ignored during one and a half year.
Brb, towards the gym and beyond!
Body update!
Hasta luego,
Louise
