Did you know using certain language can make your workout more productive? You already have a great routine you use, and your at your fitness level you want to achieve. But do you have a vocabulary to match?
Choose a sentence that motivates and inspires your fitness. Such as “Im strong, I feel unstoppable” If you’re looking for a mantra
that will help you overcome a specific challenge, such as mastering a
new move, choose sentences that include action verbs that instruct you
to accomplish your task (“Lift strong, breathe smooth.”) Repeat your
mantra during your workout . I do this inside my head of coarse so I’m not disturbing others..
By thinking of yourself as a
“runner,” “tri-athlete,” or “fitness competitor” you
can use language to make an active lifestyle a part of your identity.
This can be especially helpful if you’re just starting out in fitness,
or facing a new challenge. By assuming that you’re already successful,
you’ll feel like you belong in the gym, at the running track, in the
weight room or on the fitness stage, and will feel less intimidated to
tackle your fit tasks. In addition, by making your daily language and
interaction with others, reflect your new identity, you’re a lot more
likely to have confidence in your ability to achieve your desired
result.
Research shows that individuals
with a positive outlook are more inspired to reach their goals, and are
more likely to exercise. Eliminate pessimistic, counter-productive
words, such as “can’t,” “quit” and “fail” from your language. Replace
them with positive words such as “can,” “succeed” and “win”.
