Throughout my body-building career, I’ve been asked countless times about how much and how often I lift. Today, my reply is “I lift my butt off the couch and hit the gym.”
That my friend, is the most important lift you can do.
When new clients come to us for their free consultation, I always express to them about how important it is that they’ve taken the first step of accomplishment by just walking in the door.
We understand that it’s extremely nervous and intimidating to walk into a busy gym. It takes us out of our comfort zone, plus to see a bunch of busy bodies on all the machines and cardio.
When Tina and I frequent any new gym that’s near our location, we always ask for a tour. Even though we have our own gym, we do have memberships at others. We like to use a variety of equipment, also being well known professional athletes, people want to talk to us about training.
So, what’s holding you back? Are you still hanging out on the couch to only talk about exercising? How many times have you said “I’m going to the gym tomorrow,” but it never seems to happen?
Start your lifting today by taking a tour at your local gym. Go in with a list of questions and make sure they not only demonstrate equipment, but you actually get your hands on it as well. This will help tremendously.
If you’re new to lifting weights, I would recommend utilizing a qualified trainer for a few sessions. Do not buy any additional products. I promise it’s not necessary when getting started. You’ll throw money away.
At Ageless Muscle, we have people who travel an extremely long distance just to learn proper and safe form. It’s our mission to make you comfortable to walk into any gym and lift weights without risk of injury.
Now, it’s time to start lifting. Lift your spirit, lift your mindset, attack this world with a vengeance and lift your butt off the couch. You got this 2020.
