Tip the scales in your favor! Choose a really awesome audiobook or podcast or something that you really want to listen to that you’re only allowed to listen to when you’re at the gym.

If you've never gone consistently to the gym before then right now you are in the process of habit building. The important part will be to make it there on a consistent basis. Establish set times and days you will go and don't waiver. Maybe one day you don't have the will to go as long as normal? That's okay, you went. But you have to commit to it for weeks, months really, until it's habit. Until you're not going for the highs but because it's a part of your routine. You're not always going to feel great about going to the gym. There was one day last week where I was barely able to stay in the gym 45 minutes and only ran four miles. Exhausted, I just said "no mas." But I went back the next day, and the next, because it's a habit. It's okay to not go as hard some days but at this early stage you need to be committed to habit building.

Allen ass

You're holding back...try harder, you will get use to it 💫

Man if this isn’t the truth. Let’s just do our best and stop worrying about dumb shit.

That’s some Junji Ito shit.

And you definitely should be seeing results in a month. So try to be more effective/efficient in the gym, and diet properly for your goal.

Also, give yourself more ways to see progress. Track your reps/weights and cardio times each day to see progress over time. Not all results will be immediately noticeable in a mirror right away. Some results will just show that you are getting stronger or in better shape, but if you don’t track those stats, you won’t see it. Then those results that help you get in better shape will lead to results in the mirror faster and faster.

I think this sums it up.

Cause y’all are lazy narcissist bastards

As someone with heavy and fucked up intrusive thoughts this kind of helps. Not gonna live long anyway though lmao

Whoa, it's like they were able to capture exactly how it feels being on shrooms and K at the same time

Discipline doesn't require motivation.

That there is a fully clothed hot dog somewhere out there.

Discipline means going even when you may not feel like it because you know it will pay off in the end.

Set a goal for yourself - # of pull ups, # of miles on a treadmill or hitting a certain weight in the squat.

Set a reasonable # of times to go to the gym even if it's 2 times a week... pick a number where you can ensure you're consistent.

Get a good workout program so it's actual training (working towards a goal with an end result) and not just "working out."

If that were the case you’d need a cart for your head and a wheelbarrow for your balls!

A lot of people walk to the gym to use the treadmill. Sometimes the weather sucks and you don’t want to run outside. Or it’s dark and you feel unsafe running.

I run outside almost everyday for 9 months a year. But just find the indoors better when it’s below 25 or so.

STRAIGHT. FACTS.

Walking out of class after you correct the teacher.

> toxic capitalism

So just regular Capitalism?

Motivation comes and goes, discipline is what will carry you through long term.

The thing about motivation is that it doesn’t last, and that’s where discipline comes in.

After a while of getting into a routine, you’ll be upset if you don’t go to the gym. That’s why even if you go for like 10 minutes it’s better than 0

My guess is 90-95% of gym goers don’t regularly find it “fun.” If we did, we wouldn’t be the most obese country in the world (or close to). Sure, there can be certain workouts that are fun, but if all workouts were, we’d all be shredded.

It’s a chore. You have to go. It’s not an option.

Well, it can happen regardless of anything. People randomly slip in their showers etc.

It is up to you, do what you feel is right for you and for the situation.

I just know by experience, losing will to fight by staying in swamp too long can be worse than trying to run when you are not fully ready.
