The most common drawback people face when it comes to working-out is lack of excitement or interest in the hard work that involves in training. This lack of enthusiasm usually exists before exercising and, all of the sudden, there is a lot of sensation for training after the workout session. The reason for that being is: energy bursts. When the body is cold, it is hard for it to be excited for large scale movements. But, once it is all warmed up, all perspectives about exercising change. How can we remain excited for the gym at all times? This is what we are going to discuss today's post.
There are many tools at your disposal to make fitness a part of your life. You just simply haven't prepared them. First of all, your biggest obstacle is your thoughts: "ooh it is so hard to get to the gym", how about, try this: "the gym is my temple, my refuge, a place where I get to know my body better". This type of train of thoughts really brings out excitement for training and it really makes working-out an adventure. Stay ambitious, my friends.
After having the right mind frame, there is no telling how far you can go. You will quickly realize limits are set for yourself, by yourself. Now that you are thinking right, set up stations and be curious about how these 'stations' will develop your muscles. What are stations? For example; one spot is skipping rope, one spot is a bag and one is weights. Clock them in at 3 minute rounds and switch them up and like this you have stations set up. But, remember, when you approach these stations, to remain curious about how they work with the physiology of your muscles. If you don't see the results that you are looking for; switch your stations to other activities right away!
Progress is key. You can't stay motivated without seeing results. Those big & dense muscles is the prize & the end goal! Without the reward of strength, there is no point. Record your progress diligently and highlight the areas of your body that need work. You can do it mentally (if you have a good memory) or physically by writing it down on paper. The main point is for you to realize, actualize & materialize your goals of transforming your body to all the best it can be.
Lastly; be comfortable. This is last but not least of importance. Let's face it you can't workout well in uncomfortable pants or shoes or in an unwelcoming atmosphere. You want a positive, can-do & fun gym. Play good music, buy a new pair of running shoes and follow your favorite athletes. You being immersed in the world of fitness makes it so much easier for you to make it a part of your life. The difference is like night & day. Accept it as trait of your character: you are athletic. This is what you will tell people when they ask you what type of person you are.

Boxing changed my Life
Boxing changed my life to the point I can almost say it revitalized it. Every time I finish my training, I find myself thinking and performing better. All the sweating and moving allowed me to get rid of all the negativity accumulated in my mind and body. Sometimes all I needed is a distraction from all the busy stuff I have going on and I couldn't find anything, that is until I discovered boxing.
It was hard at first, but then I realized that once I got into it, it really got easier from there. The worst part I found is actually missing days because it just made it harder to get back into it. So now I work out every other day. I let one day to heal my muscles and the next day I came back to the gym to continue my training. When I am back in the gym, I really can appreciate my progress and feel like I can continue building my mind, body and boxing skills.
As I grew throughout the weeks, the head coach Alex really helped me stay focused and most
importantly: excited. It is easy to loose track and fall off training but Alex made sure things were interesting and that I continued improving. This really made me feel like I could expect to learn something new, each and every time I came through those doors. I really needed things to be switched up and my coach understood this fact very well. There was never a dull day training which was very important to me. And there was always something to do or to spar with somebody.
Alex really helped me with my self-defense by strictly re-assuring me on how to keep my hands up. At first, I was dropping my fists when I was punching but soon afterwards I stopped doing that because I didn't want to hear: "Keep your hands up!" again from the coach. After I got my defense techniques down, Alex proceeded to show me how to be more on the offensive rather than on the defensive. He showed me how to not to lean forward but rather dodge punches, keep my distance and counter punch my partner effectively.
With the defensive & offensive techniques being down, we later learned how to become faster, stronger and better with our bodies as a whole. It seemed to me like cardio and some strength building played important roles here and so closer to the end of my workouts I do some skipping rope, running and fast to faster movements around the bags. Alex really helped me with how to become quicker and at the same stronger with my punches. I also gotta mention that he really helps with how to punch on target. By the end of my workouts here I really feel like I gave it all I got, thanks Alex!
Closer to the end of my classes, I could say that I have fun training at this boxing gym here in Vaughan. But, at the same time there is a serious feel that is intended to make me improve my skills at a good speed. I definitely like the intense bag exercises and all the equipment that is there in place; just right for my training. Thanks a lot for making my workouts so doable and available. I really like it how this place is always ready when it comes to training. Indeed, there is never been a class that I did not walk away feeling better and learning something new. Overall, I do feel more fit and all I do is tell myself: it was all worth it!
