The post 3 Reasons Why “All Or Nothing” Mindset Isn’t Doing You Any Good at the Gym appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>Doing something is always better than doing nothing, and this approach disregards the many benefits of taking baby steps. Even the smallest step in the right direction will help you eventually achieve your goal, while the “all or nothing” approach may lead you nowhere because you’ll give up along the way.
Working out should be fun, but it’s pretty much impossible to see it that way if you embrace the “all or nothing” mindset. You’ll constantly have to face the fear of failure instead of focusing on enjoying your fitness routine with all its ups and downs.
Even if you manage to use the “all or nothing” mindset as an effective motivational tool for a short while, it probably won’t work in the long run. Going overboard with your fitness routine will quickly lead to burnout, putting both mental and physical strain on your body.

]]>Buying new workout clothes may be the little motivation you need to get dressed and exercise. You’ll be excited to sport new workout sets and you’ll want to show them off.
Getting into a gym routine is important, but after a while it gets boring. If you’re bored with your workouts, it’s time to switch things up by including different exercises. If you spend most of your time doing cardio, mix in some strength training, and vice versa.
Sometimes all you need is someone to work out with you. You can motivate each other to hit the gym even when you don’t feel like going. You won’t want to let each other down.
If you haven’t tried gym classes yet, what are you waiting for? Now’s the time to try them. Between Zumba, Pilates, spinning, kickboxing, and HIIT, the options are endless.

]]>Trying different things is the best way to learn what truly drives you. You may not discover the routine that you like on the first try, but learning what doesn’t work for you is also a success because it will shorten the list of activities left to try.
There are times when we have to try something to know it’s the right thing for us, but there are also times when we just know. If the little voice in your head is telling you that should try yoga, martial arts, tennis, or any other type of activity, you don’t lose anything by trying them and learning if that was voice right.
Even if your gut is telling you that a certain routine is good for you, things may not be easy from the get-go. Beginnings are always hard, and you shouldn’t give up an activity that you enjoy, even if you’re not great at it from the very start.

]]>Embracing the 3×10 rule basically means making enough time in your schedule for a 10-minute workout three times a day. Even if you have zero motivation, this is the amount of time that we can all set aside to work towards our fitness goals, one step at a time.
Working out this way allows you to make your workouts as fun and versatile as possible. You can go for a 10-minute walk or a run, do a short weight-lifting or HIIT training, do some yoga or Pilates, or work out to a ten-minute video on your favorite fitness YouTube channel.
Options are pretty much endless, and no matter how short your workouts are, the time you spent working out will add up by the end of the day. It’s highly likely you’ll feel so pumped that you won’t feel like stopping after 10 minutes, making your short workouts much longer.

]]>It’s difficult to make excuses for not working out when your workouts are just 10 or 15 minutes long. No matter how busy you are, you can set aside this much time to do some light exercises and get your heart pumping, even when you’re too busy to hit the gym.
One of the best things about short workouts is that you can make them much more intense. Since you don’t have to preserve your energy for an hour-gym session, you can go as strong as you can and truly give it your all during your brief 15-minute workout.
It’s highly unlikely that short workouts will get you in the best shape of your life, but they’re a good place to start. Taking baby steps is better than not taking any steps at all, and after setting aside 10 or 15 minutes a day for working out, it will be just a matter of time before you switch to longer workout sessions.
