So, I was speaking to a friend about their weight loss goals and they gave me A LOT of excuses as to why they couldn't start. I found it a little comical because he was so adamant that he was trying to be about that #fitlife, but he wasn't trying to be about that #exerciselife. Weight loss is determined by your calorie intake and expenditure. If you're scared of working out then you better embrace eating REALLY clean. Like so clean that you give Clorox a run for their money. Since most folks ain't trying to see free-range chicken and organic brown rice and broccoli for breakfast, lunch and dinner, then you better start an illicit affair with a dude named GYM. You a dude? That's alright. You can start a bromance with Gym as well. You kinky? You and your girl can have a ménage à trois with him. The more the better. Pornhnb would love you. We need not discuss how I've obtained that bit of information.
She gets it and her boo ain't even mad.
Not into the gym? I don't blame you. They smell and are a haven for germs. I'm not here to catch your meningitis. I'm also not paying to touch gear you just sweated all over. #vomit. So what do you do? Well, you have options. You can always research HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts. You may need a small set of weights or some bands, but the investment is worth it. You can also pretend you're Shawn T. or Billy Blanks and do your workouts like that. I personally find that boring, but whatever gets you up and moving and makes you jolly. The point is to move.
I can go into more detail about specific exercises, but that's for another post. My goal is to shame you out of your excuses. Remember, excuses are like male nipples...completely useless. Don't be that person. Gotta go to work early? Get up and go for a jog early in the morning, go during your lunch time or go after work. Your body hurts? Find a way to modify your workouts. Too tired? Get some pre-work out. Too old? Stop doing so many squats. Too young? Go with an adult. Too big? Gravity isn't going to let you do box jumps so just do step ups. Too frail? Don't try to do 195lb deadlifts. Too broke? Run up and down your stairs. Don't have stairs? Run around the block. You got an excuse, I have a way to get you out of it so instead of embarrassing yourself, just let it go.
