Every day people come into our fitness boot camps for women full of excitement to start losing weight, getting healthier, and seeing real changes in the shape of their bodies. They are all pumped and have serious fitness plans all set. They are ready for action! So, why is it that after a few sessions many of these women start to drop off, never to be seen again? Why is it that we get a surge of participants for our weight loss boot camps around the turn of a new year when New Year’s resolutions are hot, but half of those new-recruits or less remain come March or April?
It’s because people have an uncanny knack of sabotaging their own fitness plans. Sometimes the sabotage starts from the moment they set the plans in motion. As they walk into our fitness boot camps for women full of hope and motivation, they are unknowingly working against themselves. Let’s consider exactly how they sabotage themselves so you can avoid their mistakes at all costs.
#1 Sabotage Sin: Their goals are unrealistic.
If you set goals that you cannot possibly reach you are setting yourself up for failure before you even take action to give it a try. All too often we get new members in our fitness boot camps for women who are just setting their goals too high. They are trying to push themselves to the extremes to see fast results, but in the end they burn out before any real progress can be made. If you want to be successful with your fitness plan, make sure that your goals are realistic. It’s great to give yourself something to reach for and really challenge yourself with, but make sure it is possible to achieve your plan without killing yourself in the process or making sacrifices you aren’t really ready to make.
#2 Sabotage Sin: They get trapped in all-or-nothing thinking.
This is something else that becomes apparent with some people in our weight loss boot camps. They think they have to do the entire workout at top intensity, completing the most intense versions of every movement, or it isn’t worth attending. In their mind they have to go all out and kill themselves or completely stay home. There is no middle ground. There are going to be days when you just don’t want to attend a fitness boot camp for women. Some days you will be dragging your feet as if they are made of lead, and that is okay. What’s important is that you get to your weight loss boot camp regardless. It’s the discipline and commitment of being there at all that counts on those rough days. If you stay home because you can’t give it your all, it will only be harder to drag yourself there the next day. Remember, fitness is not an all-or-nothing plan. It’s a plan that requires just getting the job done whether your heart is in it or not.
#3 Sabotage Sin: They follow a great workout up with horrible foods.
Attending fitness boot camps for women is an awesome thing for your body, but if you are eating a greasy McMuffin on your way to the workout or filling up at the buffet later in the day, you are holding your body back. You are undoing much of the progress that was made toward a healthier body. You are making it more difficult for your body to move through the next boot camp.
Life can be stressful, and there are many unhealthy ways to combat stress. Instead of eating or drinking your way back into happiness, people under stress should think of positive ways to relieve this built up tension. One of the best ways to relieve stress is by getting a professional massage.
A massage spa will be able to give you the massage treatments that you need. Those that work at the spa can recommend the best type of massage for your situation. The benefits of receiving a massage are physical as well as emotional. A massage can open up blood vessels for better circulation, relax tensed muscles, increase the overall blood supply to muscles and organs for more efficiency, and increase the elimination of toxins and waste from the body.
A massage can also improve a person’s emotional well being. Massages feel great and can make a person temporarily forget their problems of the day. Quiet music or incense may also be requested during the massage for a deeper level of relaxation.
If you have never gone to a massage spa before, getting that first massage may make you nervous. But you can expect complete professionalism and courtesy from a spa that hires licensed massage therapists. Before the massage you will be asked about any medical conditions that could benefit from or hinder the massage process. This information can also be used to determine what type of massage you need. Then you will be shown the massage room and given a sheet that covers most of your body. The masseuse will then return and begin the massage. This process will take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes.
If you enjoy that first massage additional appointments can be made. Most massage therapists recommend that a person receive a massage every 4 to 6 weeks. If stress is a large part of you life, a massage may be needed at shorter intervals to keep the stress from building up. No matter how often you need to go, getting a massage is worth the time and effort to relieve stress, improve circulation, and have a better chance of fighting stress in the future.
