Weight loss exercise is doomed to fail

Marije:'Of course you lose weight if you start exercising, but what I mean by this is that the reason you decide to start exercising determines whether you stay motivated.'

Wrong drive
I experience it every day. People who join the sports club, however, only because they want to lose weight. If they do not yet understand that losing weight is a process that takes time, I dare to put my hand in the fire that after the third week they will slowly show withdrawal, and then decide to stop after three months. Recognizable?

The secret
What do those fanatics do who effortlessly, year after year, weekly find the motivation to go to the sports club (and look smashingly tight), you may wonder. The blacksmith's secret:

1. They understand that exercising is something you just have to do. There is no such thing as non-exercise, just like not brushing your teeth. You don't have a choice, you just do it.
2. If they don't feel like it, they go anyway, because they know that one training session immediately gives a nice and proud feeling, and that motivates them to get off the couch.
3. They do not suffer from compensatory behavior (eating versus exercising). After all, they also simply do sports on a healthy day and not just after a snack attack, eating kick or drinking holiday.

The best reason to decide to join a sports club is because you want to feel better (happy and energetic). You will experience immediate results. Both during training and afterwards. This feeling is the best experience that will keep you motivated to go again soon. You will automatically receive a tighter and slimmer body, which is a 100% guarantee forever. REALLY!
