Studies show that some people have barriers built up from past
experiences that prevents a person from starting or following through on a
fitness or diet program.
Getting started on an exercise program is one thing. Staying on it is
the bigger challenge. We have all been there. New Years Eve comes around
and wham! Instant motivation! It is only a small percentage however that
sticks with it. Why? When you hear the term exercise resistance you of
course think of strength training with weights, don't you? Well, it can
also mean something else.
The phrase, "Exercise Resistance" or ER was coined in the mid 90's. It
means, a conscious or unconscious block against participating in a regular
active program. Studies show that some people have barriers built up from
past experiences that give them a negative mindset toward exercise and
food. This prevents a person from starting or following through on a
fitness or diet program. This is more of an emotional feeling that
controls a behavior more than anything.
"I thought the golden years were supposed to be filled with relaxing
things to do, not more activities I usually put off before?" Have you ever
just resented having to exercise now that you are older? "Why should I
start exercising? I will not follow through-never have. It will be
just another failure of mine?" Or how about not starting to exercise
because you have a fear of failure? My favorite; "why does Jane look like
she does and I have to work so hard at it? It does not seem fair!" Have
you ever compare yourself to your youth or your best
friend?
Each one of them; resentment, fear of failure, comparisons are barriers
that you have built up, only to at some point sabotage your desire to feel
good and get in better shape.
The answer to overcome these barriers is three fold. First, figure out
HOW you are motivated. Second, WHERE your desires come from. And third,
come to an understanding that these barriers are only illusions you have
fabricated in your mind. THEY ARE NOT REAL! The bottom line is, until you
work on your approach to weight loss and fitness, the numbers on the
charts will not stick.
