Need motivation
Other than the music I listen to while working out, I seem to have little motivation while I’m at the gym. Its like some kind of mind game. If I go into this with a negative attitude, or not feeling well, or sluggish AND I don’t combat that before I start working out, I end up doing a half-ass workout. BUT usually I can beat that mind game. At times I’ll just get pissed off about something and channel that energy into the weights.
If I start my workout all happy and spiritual and loving the world then I get all relaxed and don’t get a damn thing done. So…for those of you in my gym who might see me walk around with that ****-you look on my face - don’t take it personal. When the workout is over, if it was a good one, then I might smile. Maybe one day I’ll do a cardio or aerobic workout and be all happy-happy joy-joy about it - but I doubt it.
Each workout for me is like waging war, so sometimes I gotta grunt or groan, or yell, or cuss, or drop weights, whatever…some people look at ya like yer crazy, and they’re probably right. I’de rather get crazy and GET results than be lazy, complacent, and waste my time in the gym treating it like some social club!!!
