Going into a gym can feel insecure, especially if you're a beginner. Trying to reach the ideal shape as quickly as possible is sometimes demoralizing and conducive to failure

Take a deep breath, set yourself up for success, and banish negative thoughts:

1. "I am worse than others"

It is difficult to feel confident the first time you come to the gym and observe the beautiful bodies of other people. Tune in to achieve the result, enjoy every step to success. If that doesn't work, force yourself to smile and be proud of your smallest accomplishments

2. "I can't do this"

Do not approach a task with a negative attitude. By doing this, you only predict failure. Let not everything work out for you at first, push aside perfectionism, learn from mistakes and be grateful for this opportunity. Gradually, you will get better and better

3. “Look at this man! He has a perfect body! This is not fair!"

In all gyms and fitness rooms there are people with a wonderful figure, and sometimes even a perfect one. But they worked hard on themselves. Do not blame nature or scold yourself. They may have looked even worse than you at first. Drop this negativity, just set a goal for yourself to become better than you are now and work on it. Even if you do not become the owner of the ideal figure, you will become better, not only physically, but also strengthen your morale. But resentment will only push you to failure, and you will quickly be blown away

4. "I feel like everyone is looking at me and laughing at home."

Excessive shyness can play a bad joke on you, and you will leave your favorite gym, yoga classes, dancing, etc. Focus on what you are doing, not on the environment, abstract away. Nobody has the right to judge you and laugh at you, because nobody is perfect

5. "I'll just copy everything he / she does, because he / she looks great."

Too great a temptation to copy and imitate a perfectly trained person. But resist this temptation, develop an individual program (or ask for help) to achieve the best result. Remember, all people are different and what is good for one person can be harmful for another

6. "I will never be able to achieve the ideal body shape, no matter how I wanted / wanted"

Many workout programs (P90X and CrossFit) offer instant results with extreme intensity training. This is dangerous! You can achieve tremendous changes with moderate, and some people, even with light loads. You just need to take a comprehensive approach to changing your lifestyle and be patient a little

7. "I am too relaxed and cannot follow the training regime without the supervision of a coach."

Many people cannot productively work on themselves without the constant supervision of a coach or mentor. Try to get away from this. Begin to practice a little without anyone's supervision. In the beginning, you may still need someone's help, you can ask the coach to supervise you outside the gym at first. And gradually get used to independence. It is necessary to focus on achieving a result and enjoying working on yourself, and not concentrating on the negative of doing nothing

8. "I get bored with monotonous and cardio workouts."

Sometimes it's very boring to just run on a treadmill or do monotonous exercises. Think of a fun ritual for yourself during such training, find an acceptable way to entertain yourself: memorizing poetry, daydreaming, insanely many ways to entertain yourself. Experiment and try to find your way

9. "When will the result be?"

If you only want to exercise to lose weight, then this alone is not enough. How many calories you consume is very important. But even if you consume less than you spend, then do not rely on magic. The result will come over time, if you follow the training regimen and diet. Exercise combined with diet (no fast food, healthy food, proper diet) will give results in about three months

10. "I hate exercise !!!"

Ideally, find the exercises that you like, choose the sport that you like. If you hate everything at all, then get used to training a little, do the exercises for a few minutes, then 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, and so increase the time until needed

Believe in yourself, strive for the goal, enjoy the process itself and the result
