![]() ![]() Do not be upset with others for attempting to start their fitness journeys. I encourage you to think about when you first began your fitness journey. Some people might fall off the wagon, but some will succeed. So as you ring in the New Year, remember that a New Years’ resolution might not be your thing, but it doesn’t have to be. ![]() Was that person laughing? It must be at me…Īre those people chatting? They must be talking about me… It reminds me of people that won’t follow someone on Twitter or Facebook because they have five followers. New people (anywhere) fear being judged the most. When people first begin something, they are the most self-conscious. It’s like judging people for how many followers they have. ![]() Judging someone based on their fitness level is both pathetic and sad. For the first several months, maybe even a year, I thought everyone was judging me. I tried every machine for about 5 minutes. It was at the YMCA with mostly the older crowd, and I still felt like I didn’t belong. I remember the first time I went to the gym alone. The fact is that it is still 8% more than last year.Įveryone started their fitness journey somewhere. But “New Years Resolutions Never Last”:Īccording to studies, only 8% of people keep their New Year’s resolutions. If someone “getting in your way” annoys you, purchase your gym equipment and stay home. Or because you are doing more at the gym. No one is more entitled to a piece of equipment because you have been a member longer. The reality is everyone at the gym is paying for the same membership. (But really: you are wasting your time complaining) I hate how busy it is I hope these people leave soon. Ugh, I hate waiting in line for the gym equipment I want to use. Here are just a few complaints about resolutioners at the gym I’ve seen: Sure, having more people at the gym is inconvenient because fewer machines are available. Sadly, I also hear friends publically wish resolutioners would get out of the gym or get out of their way. That’s awesome and I’m happy for everyone! Or they want to get into running! Or a new sport! Whatever! They plan to do X, Y, and Z. If New Years’ Resolutions keep you motivated, then great.Īnd yes, there are millions of other New Years’ Resolutions other than “lose X pounds” and “get fitter.” This post could be summed up as, “stop being an asshole to those begin coming to the gym on January 1st”.Įvery year I hear friends declare they will go to the gym more. Because, like many things, I think there is a time and place for them. This isn’t a post to say I don’t believe in New Years’ Resolutions either. This isn’t a typical New Year’s Resolution post sharing my New Years’ Resolutions. ![]()
