I Don't Workout

You will hear a lot of people admit that they don't workout and are proud of it. These are the type that usually are just trying to hide an excuse to not do anything exercisewise because:
1. They think they are healthy no matter how they look or eat.
2. They are nervous because they wouldn't have an idea of how to exercise properly.
3. They are saving money and don't want to spend the money on a gym membership, equipment, or a trainer.
4. They don't realize the great effects working out will do for them long term but instead look for results instantly.
5. They don't want to go through soreness that people get after working out.
6. They are too tired after work and want to relax.
7. They are not training for any sports.

These are the main excuses that lead to that question. What they don't understand is that exercise can easily fit in their lives. You don't have to go buy a gym membership for 500 a year. You don't have to wokrout two hours a day after a long day at work. You don't have to be an athlete to workout. You won't get reults instantly but will if you keep with it.

Whether you think you are healthy or not, you should still exercise. If you are already healthy, you will maintain the health staus you are currently at if you exercise. If you think you are healthy but don't look it in the mirror or in other peoples eyes, you should exercise to improve your physique so you are healthy inside and outside.

You should never be nervous working out in front of other people. Everyone who started working out didn't know how to do many exercises properly but in time learned. Watch how other people perform the exercises or for more professional help, hire a personal trainer. You learn more with experience.

Exercising doesn't have to cost so much money. You don't need a membership or a trainer. You can easily exercise by walking around your neighborhood. Perform some push ups, sit ups, bodyweight squats, etc. at your own home. You can even buy a cheap little 10 pound dumbbell kit and perform exercises with those too.

Exercise should be done to help you in the long term not just for a couple weeks to look good at the beach. Why ruin the physique and the good health you worked so hard for? You should exercise and diet good all year round not just to look good and fell good but for better overall health. If you are one of those who only exercises in the spring to look good for the beach, wouldn't it be easier if you were in good shape to begin with? Think about it, stay lean and healthy all year round exercising and eating clean, it would be easier to cut (tone) up your body come beach time right? Remember though your overall health is more important and it will help with health problems that could occur.

The soreness factor is what scares most. It's a normal thing we all go through and in time, you will love it believe it or not. It may not even occur after a certain amount of time. It lets you know that you worked hard at the gym and that's why most love it after a while. If it bothers you that badly, ice will help but it is something you should work through through out the day even if it's touch on your day. Stretch after each workout to possibly lessen the soreness in that muscle group.

Work long stressful days at work? Don't want to have to workout an hour more because your energy is low. Believe it or not, exercise will help increase your energy levels over time. Not to mention as little as a half an hour a day would even be beneficial to you. And one thing that most stressful workers will like to know is that exercise is a great stress reliever. I'm one of those stressed out workers and let me tell you, the time I'm exercising, I'm free from all the drama or whatever from working. If I didn't exercise, I'd go crazy with all the stress I go through.

Not an athlete? It doesn't matter if you compete or not what matters is how you feel and how your health is. Athletes work hard not only for their own health but for the sports performance. You on the other hand should workout for overall health, stress relief, energy, and to feel good about YOU. You can even consider yourself an athlete if you exercise daily just consider weightlifting or running etc. your sport.

I hope this gets those that think it's okay not to workout to think twice about their feelings towards excercise. This is something very important not just for certain people but EVRYONE. Go out and make a difference in yourself whether it's buying gym equipment for the house, walking around the nieghborhood, buying a gym membership, hiring a trainer whatever and starting feeling good about yourself and your health.
