There are lots of reasons to start exercising. Maybe you want to look better. Maybe you want to feel better. And maybe it’s some combination of both factors.
Or it could be your health… Some discouraging test results and foreboding words from your doctor can certainly spark motivation.
Overcoming Mental Roadblocks
But when it comes to actually starting an exercise program, your mind can throw up a line of mental roadblocks…
I’m too out of shape to start working out…
My muscles have shriveled up to nothing…
And the popular favorite… It’s too late for me to start working out.
But here’s the REAL TRUTH… These are all just EXCUSES.
Because the fact is… It’s NEVER too late to start working out. The moment that thought creeps into your head, beat it back with this mantra:
“It’s NEVER too late!”
It Doesn’t Matter What Shape You’re in When You Start
If you take the first step, which is very tough, I understand, and keep at it, you’ll see improvement.
No one starts out as Mr. (or Ms.) Universe. It’s a process that takes time. But I can promise you, with each subsequent workout, you’ll feel better, stronger, and more empowered.
Most importantly, no matter your age, you can still build muscle mass, get stronger, and noticeably improve your overall physical condition.
In a recent newsletter, Arnold Schwarzenegger shared the results of a study that followed the progress of nursing home residents in their 90s who started a strength training program.
In just 8 weeks, they increased their muscle mass by more than 10%. To put this in perspective, the average person typically loses that much muscle over a 5–10-year period as they age. Meanwhile, these folks rebuilt a decade’s worth of muscle mass in two months.
Exercise Offers Many Benefits
Along with building muscle and gaining physical strength, regular exercise can help:
- Raise your energy level
- Increase your bone density (crucial as you age and potentially face developing osteoporosis)
- Improve your flexibility, making daily activities less painful
- Reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, and a host of other diseases
