Hey buddies. My whole body is aching after an exhausting but satiating workout which consist of long run and abdominal exercises. But there is a sense of satisfaction there, even though you have to go through the 'good' pain. I have to whip back to shape, something I would like to do for the good of myself and also I have been challenged by a friend. I love challenges. It makes my mind work even harder than it use to be. Mentally and physically a workout challenges oneself. Hey, it sounds like those days when I'm in the national service. "No pain! No pain!"
My cousin is the one who actually triggered my working out again. He was like, "Hey dude. What's up with you man? Nowadays I don't see you working out much. You are basically indulging yourself in the laptop." Even my sister feels my body has lost it's tone and she claims I've become smaller. SMALLER??!! Come on sis, you gotta be kidding but she ain't. Once I took off my shirt and stared my body in the mirror, I understand why. My body did lost it's shape though not completely and to be precise, I have put on the pounds! Not only on my tummy but also on my hiney! "Vinod! Wake up, you gotta do something about it." I remembered those days when I was super fit and I was into the craze of working out basically every single day. The abs, pecs were there though I gotta admit, I still had alittle excess fat on my belly which was freaking tough in getting out because I used to be overweight before. I was in the process of getting the last bit out when suddenly the whole working out stopped for a moment. It's like a video player where the pause button was pressed and play button was not hit again for long.
Up went the exercise plan, handwritten motivational chart and a picture of a dude with 8abs which was cut from a magazine. They are facing right in front of my bed so whenever I wake up, I see those things which will inspire me to workout and I have been doing it since though the whole of last week I didn't work out because I was super busy. That is not a valid reason to skip my workouts and I blame myself for it because I always believe there is some time to do something. If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.
It's common we humans do get lazy and we blame it on the weather, food or whatever except on ourselves but we know deep down those are all excuses and we definitely do feel guilty somehow. I'm not saying one should workout every single day but do it at least four times a week. Can't work out for an hour? Do it for half an hour. It is scientifically proven that humans need at least half an hour of workout a day. Be it walking, running, skipping or whatever. Your mind is very dangerous object. It will do anything in preventing you from workout. It will fuck up your feelings. In this situation, are you gonna listen to your head or your heart where it tells you, "Go and work out." Once you start listening to your mind, you have already lost the battle. You are the leader of soul, not your mind. Are you so weak that you gonna listen to it? Of course, when you are ill, please do rest.
For me or for anyone who wanna tone up your body, guys especially out there, cardio exercises are not enough. Cardio exercises are basically for losing the calories in your body and your body to sweat it out. You need to lift weights and do other form of exercises to get a lean body. You need to watch what you consume as well. I'm not saying go on a diet but minimize yourself from indulging food which are too greasy, tidbits, softdrinks. Eat more fruits, vegetables and meat. Try this. Prevent yourself from eating junk food for the weekdays but consume a little during the weekends. It's like rewarding yourself. Cardio+ Weights+correct food intake= Lean Body.
I have did my best in giving advices to three beautiful chicks who have asked me for help in working out as well and it's a pleasure to hear they are actually heeding my advice. Emily is doing crunches and from what I've heard she was doing it the whole of last week. I hope she is continuing with it. Agnes, I loaned her my weighted skipping rope and I can see she is working out as well because she actually posted pictures of her skipping in her blog and she has also been doing the crunches. I told her I won't wanna the ropes back unless she starts looking sexy again. Jannah. I really am speechless because she's just a lazy person. She ain't overweight but she wanna tone up certain areas and even after teaching her certain workouts, it was all in vain. Lazy? What else can it be? Typical Jannah. Not only spoilt but lazy. Haha. I really hope she starts working out as well and she'll look even more awesome than now.
Getting results isn't a quick process when working out. You need to have discipline and slowly the results will start coming out and so will a smile on your face. Remember Stallone in Rocky movies? See how he trained for the upcoming match? NO PAIN, NO GAIN!
