What's up you guys? Famous Ashley Grant here.
Welcome to More Movement Please. Today I want
to talk about what to do on the days that you
don't want to go to the gym. Even if you have
made it a habit, even if you have made it something
that you do every single day, there are going
to be days that you're going to wake up and you're
going to be like, God, I just don't want to go
to the gym today. So what should you do on those
days? I have the answer for you. And I know You
might be surprised by this, but this is what
you should do on the days you don't want to go
to the gym. Go anyway. I know. Can you believe
it? It's just groundbreaking information. You
can't even believe the fact that I just said
that, I'm sure. But the reality is, if you are
trying to be serious, if you are trying to lose
weight, if you are trying to get stronger, trying
to get healthier, trying to make it a habit,
you cannot cancel this date with yourself. You
have to get up and put in the work. And it sucks.
I get it. I really do. There have been days that
I have not wanted to go at all. I've either had
a headache or my stomach was hurting or insert,
honestly, insert excuse here. Because that's
what it is, isn't it? Now, I will tell you that
during my 100 days of fitness, there were two
days that I literally could not go to the gym.
But it was because I was in so much pain that
I physically could not move. And it wasn't like
I was trying to give myself an out. The funny
thing is, on both of those days, I got up and
got dressed. Even though I didn't want to go
to the gym and I didn't feel like it, I actually
got up and got dressed and was gonna go. Hell,
one of the days, I went to the gym and then turned
around and had to come back home because I was
in so much physical pain. But the point is, I
made the commitment to go even though I didn't
want to go. And the days that you don't want
to go and you work out anyway, you're gonna feel
so much better, so much prouder of yourself for
the fact that you went anyway. I've never heard
anybody say that they regretted working out.
Sure, I've heard people say that they regretted
going too high on their weights. I've heard people
say that they regretted overdoing it or that
they did something in their workout that was
stupid or that they shouldn't have done that
led to injury or some other issue. But I've never
heard anybody say that they regretted actually
putting the time into themselves, taking the
time to take care of themselves. So if you are
hoping to increase your fitness increase the
amount of times that you are putting in the reps
you got to commit to it and I know this has been
a running theme that I've been talking about
for a while but it's so true and the funny thing
is the more you do it the more you will become
it'll it'll become ingrained in you it'll become
second nature you'll feel weird on the days that
you don't go because those two days that I could
not go to the gym They felt weird, man. Yeah,
okay, I was hovered over in pain and trying to
get better. But I really missed being around
the gym. I missed being with my people that I
was working out with. And that's the other thing.
You've got to find your groove, your thing that
you love to do. For me, it's group fitness. I
have to be working out with other people. Something
about torturing yourself with other people in
the room. makes it that much better and that
much easier for you to commit and stick around
and keep doing it and keep showing up. Because
you know that if you don't, the people that you've
been working out with, they're going to wonder
where you are. And that's a good thing, at least
for me. I know some people, they don't want to
be around anybody when they're working out. And
that's fine. But that's the whole thing is you've
got to figure out what works best for you and
then commit to it and then keep showing up, keep
putting in the reps, even on the days you don't
feel like it. That's what I got for you today.
I hope you enjoyed this quick little episode.
Onwards and upwards, my friends. Have you worked
out today?
