We all know how hard it can be to mentally prepare oneself for a workout that is going to push you to your limits and make you regret your choice to workout in the first place. Often we might be getting ready for bed the night before and start trolling for various reasons as to why not to do it...
'Oh no, all the socks that I like to wear for a workout are dirty'
'My feet are still sore from those new shoes I bought'
'What if I bump into that really cute guy from class and he sees me looking all red-faced and sweaty?'
'Well, technically I'll already be doing a workout tomorrow because I have to lift all those heavy boxes at work'
But, somehow, no matter how good these excuses might be, we convince ourselves that no - we have to go. Oooh, that willpower!
The next day we manage to get into that oh-so-comfy activewear and drag ourselves to the gym, and low and behold - find ourselves standing there waiting to start the torturous experience and the overly-enthusiastic instructor is like, 'who's ready to go?!' and we're like 'no'. Just no. Then the time arrives and we have no choice but to smash (or struggle) through a killer workout in order to pursue our fitness, strength, or body goals. Ahh the pain. Why???
I'll tell you why. It's for that feeling of satisfaction you experience once the workout is (finally) over. The sweat is dripping down your face. Your heart rate is through the roof. You look and feel absolutely fantastic (kind of). And you can think to yourself - 'You did good' or maybe even 'daaamn look at me now, all fit and stuff'. Ahh yes. #worthit
