Fitness inspirational sentences

The most useful fitness inspirational sentences are never the "Self-discipline is freedom" templates mass-produced on the Internet, but are grown from hundreds of hours of immersion in the gym, dozens of plateau training, and countless struggles at the moment of exhaustion. It doesn't have to be fancy. It can accurately hit the point where you want to give up. It is a good sentence.

When I first started powerlifting two years ago, my mobile phone album was filled with inspirational pictures of Internet celebrities, and the accompanying text was all correct nonsense like "Every drop of sweat you shed will never lie to you." When I got stuck squatting 120kg and my legs were shaking like a sieve, all I could think about was "Why don't I lie down at home and eat watermelon?" Those words were useless. Until the big brother next to me who has been squatting 180kg all year round glanced at me and said, "If you can't get up, don't take advantage of the bar. There are people behind you waiting to use it." I gritted my teeth and pushed up the weight.

Later, after getting involved in many fitness circles, I discovered that the "motivational words" used by people in different sports were completely different. The rough guys in the powerlifting circle are the most annoying and vain. What they like to say is, "If you can't squat this weight today, someone with the same weight will squat you tomorrow."

It's a different story when I switch to a yoga studio. The teacher at the gym I often go to will never yell, "Come on and push down." She squats next to you and holds your hips, and her voice is as soft as a sigh: "It's not your hips that can't go down. It's the tension from working overtime for three days last week. It's the suffocation from the fight with your boyfriend just now. Wait for three more breaths and exhale them from your fingertips." ”With just such a word, the person who was originally so painful that he wanted to grit his teeth, unknowingly sank another two centimeters.

There are also "self-encouragement phrases" specially tailored for the social-terrorist fitness party, which are the kind that you can hide in the equipment area and recite silently: "I practice mine, no one is looking at me, even if the movements are ugly, it is better than standing and playing on the mobile phone."

I met a little girl who lost fat before. She was stuck in the plateau for three weeks and cried at the body fat scale every day. Later, she wrote a sentence and posted it in front of the treadmill: "Do 10 more burpees, and you will be 1 millimeter closer to the denim skirt that you couldn't wear last year." By relying on this sentence for two weeks, she lost 2 points of body fat. She actually put on that skirt that couldn't be zipped up. It's pretty cool to say it.

Of course, there are also many people who think that "inspirational sentences are all useless self-motivation." A CrossFit coach I know never gives chicken soup to his students. He said, "People who can really persist in practicing for the first half of the year rely on the endorphins that are so good after each practice. It is the real change that the waistband of the pants is two centimeters looser, not a few slogans." At most, slogans can help you open the door to the gym for the first time. The rest of the way, you still have to masturbate in groups by yourself, running one kilometer after another." This is actually true. Those veterans around me who have maintained training habits for three to five years do not have any inspirational sentences at all. For them, "change clothes and go to the gym when the time comes" is as natural as "have to eat when the time comes", and do not need any additional motivation at all.

In fact, to put it bluntly, there is no standard answer to fitness inspirational sentences. When you run aerobically until your lungs are about to burst, it can make you last 500 meters longer. Even if you make up your own "you can drink iced milk tea after running for a while", it will be more effective than a 10,000-word article written by others. Don't copy those cookie-cutter Internet celebrity templates, and don't think it's shameful to shout slogans. As long as it can help you complete one more set of movements, persist in training for one more day, and allow you to slowly accumulate your own training traces in sweat, that is the best fitness inspirational sentence for you.

Oh, by the way, if you really can’t find one that suits you, just remember the words of my big brother in powerlifting: “Don’t talk nonsense, do a set first and then talk. ”
