THE SOCIAL ASPECTS OF EXERCISING AT A FITNESS CENTER
We all know we need to exercise to stay healthy , right ? So Iʼm not going to go into that that today . Thereʼs all kinds of exercises you can do ..... and Iʼm not going to go into that today either . So Iʼd like to take the whyʼs and howʼs and throw them into a blender and come up with a nice smoothie way of keeping healthy . Exercise is good for you except itʼs boring and youʼd rather be doing something else . Letʼs face it . Walking on a treadmill at home alone can be boring . Sitting in the garage lifting weights alone can be boring . Watching a video alone at home while the cat is trying to get your attention , the tea pot is whistling , the phone is ringing , your spouse keeps asking you for stuff , and thereʼs a pile of laundry sitting there waiting to be done can be challenging . So what do you do ? Well , you join a fitness center like millions of other people who donʼt like exercising at home . Why buy thousands of dollars of equipment that take up an entire room when you can ʻrentʼ someone elses that can worry about maintaining and cleaning it . You can workout there without all the distractions a home can provide . Hereʼs another very hidden aspect Iʼll throw in that is an important tipping factor when choosing a fitness over exercising at home ...... the social aspect . Most people enjoy joining clubs , churches , and volunteering , because they like to be around people with like-minded ideas or values . Itʼs a way to socially grow and be engaged in life . This is VERY true with exercising . Keeping motivated is a extremely important part of exercising success and people know this . If they can find a way to keep motivated and get their daily dose of social interaction itʼs a win-win situation . Every single person at the exercise facility is there for the same reason , proactively stay healthy . Learn new ways to exercise from other people . Discuss with other people ways to stay healthy , mentally and physically . Encourage each other . Engage with them socially . Make new friends . This is why fitness centers are here . Make use of them and make your fitness goals real .
