Exercise Resistance! - The secret barriers that prevent weight loss.
Getting started on an exercise program is one thing. Staying
on one is much more of a challenge. We have all been there.
New Years Eve is here 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 mean something else too.
The phrase, "Exercise Resistance" or ER was coined in the mid
90's to mean 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. In many
cases, this prevents a person from starting or following through
on an exercise 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 these; resentment, fear of failure, comparisons
all are barriers we build up only at some point ending up
sabotaging our desire to feel good and get in better shape.
The answer to overcome these barriers are 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!
