Exercise Anyway

I have a few friends who've expressed that they'd rather not go to a gym or recreation center to exercise because they're embarrassed.

They're overweight... and they don't want other people watching them.

Although I'm not overweight, I can understand the hesitation.

When I first started lifting weights... and grabbed the 20-pound dumbbells to do bicep curls... I was embarrassed.

Here were all these ripped guys curling 40- and 50-pounders!

I felt like a weakling.

Here's the thing. No matter where you start, there's going to be someone firmer, slimmer, sexier, stronger.

There's just no way you're going to avoid that.

My advice: get over your embarrassment and start exercising.

Your emotions will diminish... your gym will start to feel like home... and you'll start making visible improvements.

And that's the real goal anyway: results. Not a warm fuzzy feeling inside. You can get that when you take a hot shower after your workout. :-)

Yes I agree just start exercising, many of the people at the gym are there to lose weight and get fitter. If possible find a group of people who are over weight and that can help to spur you on.

Obesity is a great obstacle due to which people lack self-confident and get embarrassed.It can be overcomed only by proper and regular exercise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds8xyK-r65M Your advice is really to be accepted.

This absolutely makes sense now. I was thinking you meant there was a way to make comments stick and auto-appear when a post was tagged, but this makes wonderful sense. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

I love to do hanging knee raises or leg raises for the abs. I am addicted to the feeling they give me!! You should try them.
When doing these you can squeeze your legs together as hard as you can at the same time as lifting them to train your inner thighs.

Its right many of us are shies about going to gym. But for good results we have to remove our shyness.

La publicité est la seule source de revenu pour un éditeur. C’est comme dire qu’un film est mauvais parce qu’il y a une page de publicité à la moitié. Tout support faisant office de média vit grâce à la publicité, c’est ainsi. »
Tu comptes me faire une leçon ? Je vis de mes sites depuis plus de 6 ans et je n’ai jamais eu besoin d’abuser de la publicité, ni d’en mettre 5 par page, ni de les mettre avant le contenu… Faut pas confondre argent facile et argent méritée je crois. Si il te faut 5 pubs par page ou les mettre avant ton contenu, c’est que tu n’as pas assez de trafic, un business model pas viable ou alors pas assez de sites. Je le vois ainsi et n’en démordrai pas, tu le sais très bien d’ailleurs vu que nous en avons déjà discuté ;)
