I was talking to someone about their trip to the gym today and the topic of cheating on your workout plan came up. This person was telling me something that was alien to me, but it got me thinking. You see, this guy says that there are times where he goes to the gym and gets through a certain portion of his workout and then just gives up. That’s right, he walks out of the gym without completing the entire workout. He says that nobody knows so where’s the harm. To me this is a character flaw. Who you are when nobody is looking is huge. It determines your character. Walking out without finishing your workout is a horrible idea. It undermines your progress. It takes away from your discipline. It can completely destroy your progress. I feel this is really playing with fire. Where will it stop? Are you going to count 3 reps and write down 6? I can see this as a very slippery slope. This is not something I would do myself. What about you? Have you done this? If so, take a step back and look at what it can do to your program. Resolve that you will never do it again. It is called working out for a reason. It is hard work, but the benefits are huge as well. Don’t ever give up like that. If you are just going to give up, why bother starting in the first place? https://www.fitnessexpose.com — it is what the doctor ordered for cases of information overload.
