M5:D50 (D458) Socializing

January 26, 2009 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

  

What's on my mind today?

”I only do cardio because I just don’t have time to lift weights.”

”I don’t have the time to get in a really good workout.”

”My life is far too busy to fit in yet another commitment.”

We’ve all heard the excuses before, but these same people wind up contradicting themselves.  You’ve seen them.  The people who stand around a piece of equipment at the gym not using it as more than something to lean on while they socialize with everyone who will partake with them.  Their sole purpose is to talk to other people about whatever comes up.  

They seem to have ample time to socialize at the gym, but they just don’t have the time to lift weights.  They can chat with that hottie on the flat bench for hours, but they don’t have the time to get in a really good workout.  They can discuss the entire weekend of sports events, but they don’t have the time to fit in another commitment.

I’m here to tell you that we make time for the things that are important to us.  When we go into a gym and make time to socialize, but not to work hard, we are making a very clear statement.  We feel that socializing is important and getting into shape is not.  Argue if you like, but we definitely make the time for the things that are important to us while everything else suffers.

Are you a socializer at the gym?  If so, break yourself of the habit now.  You are wasting precious time!  Every second in the gym should count.  Don’t just go there to talk to others.  There is plenty of time for that.  You will be able to find the time to socialize because it is important to you.  Now is the time to get your butt in gear and move your body.  Take on the task of building muscle and burning fat.  That’s why you go to the gym, isn’t it?  Well then what is stopping you?
