It’s easy to fi nd excuses... Fear - Some people have an image of exercise as evil. They remember that one workout in college where they were sore
for days and can’t possibly conceive of going through that again. The truth is delayed onset muscle soreness is uncomfortable
but if you start off slowly you won’t experience extreme discomfort. Also, if you stick with a program, the soreness is less
and less with each workout. Another fear is feeling like a fi sh out of water at the gym. Maybe the attire at the gym is itself
intimidating - good news, the days of the thong on the outside of the tights, the headband and leg-warmers are gone. We now

machine.” Negative Image of Exercise - Think all exercise is diffi cult? No one says you have to pick the most complicated routine
or machine to start with. Exercise can be as fundamental as taking a walk three times a week around your neighborhood. There
is nothing to fear except the repercussions of NOT exercising.
Slow Results - I know, you want a toned, fi t or at least changed body overnight but the truth is it takes time. It also
depends on how often you work out, how well you stick to your healthy eating plan and what type of exercise you do. On
average, it takes about six weeks to see any results.
Anytime Fitness Cornwall Stives On Being Different... No Motivation - Motivation, like loneliness, can be combated with having a partner. You will be more likely to stick to a
routine because you are motivated by your partner. Another motivation might be setting a realistic goal. “I will lose 100 pounds
in 2 months” is not a realistic goal. I will exercise 4 times this week is an attainable goal and one you will work towards.
