8 types of people who will never get their bodies in order

1. Waiting

This is a person who promises to start practicing and eating healthy food after some event. Or just Monday.

He's waiting all the time. When the workload subsides, the holidays will take place, the wedding will end, the child will go to kindergarten. But life does not become easier, free time does not increase, new events and problems constantly appear.

In the meantime, muscle mass is melting, belly fat is slowly accumulating, and climbing to the fifth floor becomes a difficult task.

The more you put off, the harder it gets to get started.

Grab your calendar and schedule two or three hours of sports right now. Consider them a jewel, fight for them. This is the only way you can make training a part of your life and achieve good results.

2. Infantile eater

Such people consume too many calories and cannot even imagine that they will refuse something tasty. They consider healthy food bland and do not give themselves a single chance to switch to healthy food.

Once I heard a dialogue between such a person and a coach. A very overweight woman came to the gym to participate in a comprehensive weight loss program. The coach explained that sweet must be excluded, and she struggled to defend her right to snack on chocolates and asked to replace cottage cheese with glazed curds.

And this is the person who paid for the weight loss program! That is, he firmly decided to deal with extra pounds and came to the gym for this.

You should not equate "useful" and "tasteless". Chicken can be tastier than nuggets in a batter hat, crunchy bell peppers and lettuce leaves - more pleasant than dripping fried potatoes, and an apple or tangerine is better than a sugary tube with condensed milk.

Love for fatty and sweet things is not your special taste in food, but simply an inability to cook and a childish attitude to the selection of dishes.

Still think chips, soda, and candy are the perfect food? This means that your eating habits are at the level of a five-year-old child. It's time to grow up.

3. Injured

He will never start practicing, citing old injuries. Yes, he understands that training is necessary for health, and would gladly resume it, but he injured his knee five years ago, and it still clicks when walking - what a sport! But when it completely heals (never), then he will definitely rejoin the training.

It also happens in a different way: a person is just starting to exercise, receives a slight injury, or simply feels pain in some part of the body and immediately throws, convinced that sport is evil and one should stay away from any activity.

At the same time, he does not go to the doctor - to find out what happened, he does not try to find a good coach who will competently build workouts bypassing traumaif it really is. He just throws it up. Perhaps for life.

Of course, you can't turn a blind eye to the pain and limitation of mobility, but an injury is not a reason to put your sneakers on the far shelf.

Exercise is helpful for recovery and pain relief.

What's more, you can not only train for your health, but you can also regain fitness enough to compete and achieve amazing results.

Four-time CrossFit Games winner, human machine Mat Fraser suffered a serious spinal injury in his youth. After surgery and recovery, he took up CrossFit and after a few years became a real legend.

Olympic swimming champion Alexander Popov returned to the sport after being stabbed, boxer Vincenzo Pazienza recovered from a severe neck injury in an accident and returned to the ring. There are many examples.

Injuries are not a reason to sit on the couch waiting for a full recovery.

With almost any injury, you can find exercise that doesn't cause pain. In addition, no one forbids training other parts of the body.

For example, if a person injured his knee, he can train the shoulder girdle, back and abs, as well as do exercises on the healthy leg: training one limb helpsUnilateral strength training leads to muscle-specific sparing effects during opposite homologous limb immobilization increase the strength of the other.

Stop convincing everyone - including yourself, that you are too fractured to even just lift dumbbells or do a glute bridge. This is not true.

4. Hard worker

Often people do not exercise regularly or refuse to exercise altogether, because they believe that physical activity at work replaces the gym for them. This is a big mistake.

As a rule, at work, the set of movements is not too large: the same muscles are loaded, and the limbs move in the same range. As a result, a person gets muscle imbalance, stiffness and pain, problems with joints and back.

Strength training includes many different exercises that harmoniously pump all muscle groups, increase endurance, flexibility and coordination.

In addition, the workload usually does not increase. The muscles get used to it and stop growing. In the gym, the load is constantly increasing, the body becomes more and more powerful, embossed and hardy. As a result, having mastered the technique of strength exercises in the gym, a person will apply it at work, performing movements more efficiently and reducing the risk of injury.

Once you've mastered the deadlift, you'll never lift a heavy box with a round loin again, risking a hernia.

It doesn't matter what you do at work - sit at the computer or unload the wagons. If you want a harmoniously developed, beautiful and healthy body, strength and cardio training is necessary for you in any case.

5. Sufferer

Such a person has already started to train hard and eat healthy food many times, but every time he breaks down and quits. Each time, he feels unhappy with the effort, cut back on diets and inhibitions, and believes that suffering will last forever.

Because of such thoughts, even strong motivation is not enough for a very short time. After all, if there is a whole life ahead of you, filled with suffering, a good figure is a little consolation.

But reality differs from dark fantasies: our body is a genius of adaptation.

It can get used to almost any conditions, and even more so to physical activity and healthy food. Moreover, the adaptation takes place quite quickly, the main thing is not to interfere with alarmist thoughts.

Not too long ago I dropped weight for a weightlifting competition. To be sure to lose five pounds in a week (mostly in the form of water), I cut out all carbs except vegetables and green apples.

I must say that I adore bread and baked goods. And I had to completely abandon them. The first two days were hard: from a lack of carbohydrates, my head was spinning, my mood was below the plinth. But then I got used to it, and the remaining days before the competition, with the exception of the last one, when I practically did not eat anything, went completely normal.

Do you think all these people with great figures suffer every time they come to the gym? No! They like to do it.

Do you think that athletes experience hellish torments, refusing sweets? Not guessing - they do not care. And this is not good genetics and not iron willpower. It's a habit, and you can definitely develop one. Just remember that you will not suffer forever.

6. Shallow type

Such people adore theory and are happy to dig into the details, but at the same time they miss the really important thing - constant practice.

They are afraid of radiation from the microwave, they are looking for the “No GMO and pesticides ”and read about the pH of the water, but for some reason they do not care about their abdominal obesity and weak muscles.

Such a person will tell the coach all his diagnoses, starting from childhood, will discuss endlessly benefits or harms of exercise and food, but not even a week goes by, because for this you need to apply efforts.

It's hard. Debating is much easier and more enjoyable.

Details are important, but as a rule, the time for them comes much later, when you are already used to training and are looking for a way to increase your progress. For a start, simple rules are enough for you: regular workouts, healthy food, avoiding sweets and alcohol.

7. Master of excuses

It is impossible to argue with such people. They have an answer for everything. They often say that they really want to train, but there is simply no time for it. At the same time, any advice and suggestions absolutely do not suit them.

There is no strength to train in the evenings after work, in the morning there is no time, on weekends there is no opportunity, the gym is too expensive, the house is too stuffy, and so on ad infinitum.

Of course, this does not mean that you can not give a damn about any circumstances. Some really turn out to be stronger than desires. But the solution can be found anyway.

Such people are not looking for solutions. They are looking for excuses.

If that sounds like you, just admit that you can. An hour of workout on the weekend won't ruin your family, even if your family doesn't have pancakes for breakfast. It only seems to you that after work you do not have the strength for training (especially if you work at a computer).

Go once, I promise you, you will not die and will most likely sleep even better than without exercise.

8. Blase Superman

This person is confident that regulations - not for him. Someone may need eight hours of sleep to recover, but they still feel great after four hours. Probably, someone needs to eat well and increase the protein norm, but a pair of Snickers is enough for him to gain strength for training.

Give up alcohol? Well, no... Warm up before heavy sets? What more! Work on joint mobility? Ha! Let the yoga girls do this.

And then the questions begin: "Why has progress stopped?", "Why don't muscles grow, although I practice like a damned one?", "Why did I get injured again?" Probably it's all about bad genetics ...

The rules were invented for a reason. Yes, our bodies are different, but not that much. If you train hard, you need to eat well and get enough sleep. Warm up well before training. You cannot dramatically increase the volume of training and neglect recovery.

Your body can withstand heavy loads, but if you don't give a damn about it, sooner or later it will break, and all your results will be lost. Take care of your body - that's all you have.
