There are two reasons people run in for health clubs, one is for reducing weight and the next group wants to simply stay healthy. The ratio of members joining for getting that body in shape is the majority. Each one of them has a certain goal- some join for leisure, some for some gossip, and some sweat their heart out. There are some who check their weight before and after the workout is over. I am sure you must have experienced that around.

Hitting the gymnasium is the perfect combination of taking some time out for your body and burning those calories which were taken on the last visit to the theater or the last party that you attended. It definitely helps you rejuvenate and get energized. It is really hard to keep the count of the different nutrients in the body and balance it with the exercise. Any physical activity, any sport, cardio, maintains your body and is surely a must in a day. It could be for 15 minutes or an hour, working out in your room or jogging or walking on the treadmill, depending on the time you have and the things you can accommodate. You got to be regular and you need to enjoy what you are doing. Here are some of the thumbs down while exercising which people just don’t realize and I hate writing it: P

1. There is something called deodorant, use them, and don’t just keep them on the lockers. If you think you need it while you are working out, use it thrice as many times as you require. Avoid the bad odor from your body. So this one time I actually told this guy that his smell made all the members sick. I had no other option but to tell the poor lad.
2. Some people just over exercise even if they don’t have the capacity to. They work out for 4 hours straight, use the cross trainer for 2 hours and just don’t understand that it won’t make any difference if you give in so much time in a day. It has to be constant.
3. Carry an extra gym tee if you sweat a lot, and don’t wear the same one without a wash. Sometimes it feels that people have lost the meaning of word HYGIENE.
4. Stop staring yourself in the mirror, the six packs will not be made that soon.
5. Are you guilty of wearing make up to the gym??
6. And yes the last one –Cribbing about your weight each day is just not going to help. Each body is different and requires different level of routine. You cannot keep complaining about your flab each time and you cannot keep counting the grams you have put on or lost. Patience pays so just wait for the results or learn to have one.

We need to believe that exercise is beneficial at each step of our life, and it is the best if we can follow it regularly and not only till we reduce to the number wished.
