My dad said he wanted to go running to burn off some calories and I said no, no, no come to the gym with me. If I get my dad hooked with working out, I'll be very happy.
Weight training is the best type of physical activity you can do for your health and body composition. Especially as you age. The more muscle you have when you're old, the lower the chances of dying of disease.
Remember when you bring a complete beginner at the gym, there are 3 things you need to teach them:
1. Give them a full body routine 3 times a week and not a split routine
2. Get them to focus on the big compound movements and not on curls and cable flys
3. Teach them that strength gains in good form are the key to muscle growth
If you want to make a change in your life, do it now.
Don't set a special date when you're supposedly going to start whatever it is you want to do.
A lot people say things like "I'm going to start losing fat on the 1st of next month" or "I'm going to stop *insert bad habit here* at the beginning of the year"
These people almost NEVER make the change.
Why?
I think it's because they are not willing to give up their current identity (self image). Why would you wait to do something you want to do? It doesn't make any sense.
The delay only makes sense when you see the change as a reduction of the quality of your life.
So you're trying to make the most out of your life right now, before you must punish yourself with those new disciplines.
What a wrong attitude.
The key to change is not in fighting the old, it's in nourishing the new.
Give up your current identity. Realize it's not who you really want to be. Go for the disciplines today!
