Love Your Body Love Your Workouts
Blog | May 17, 2014
Have you ever asked yourself what is the difference between those who are fit and consistent with their training and the people that are constantly failing to reach their fitness goals? The differences are always in your own perspective. I know people that are complaining about not having enough time and energy to exercise even tho they’re only job is to take care of one dog. I won’t say any names, just thought you should know that there are many people like that. I also know people that are very successful and super busy entrepreneurs married with children that always find the time for a workout and to take care of their body. So what is the difference?
The difference is in their attitude and the amount of passion they have to be fit. We all know that in order to feel passionate about something we have to like it. We have to love it. It’s hard to put your heart and soul into something that you dislike or even despise. How can you feel passionate about doing something good for your body if you loath it so much that you’re calling yourself names and constantly putting yourself down in front of a mirror? You may not prefer the way your body looks right now, but you should still love it and be proud of it, because it’s yours! Your body is your baby and you should always want the best for it. You should be excited to give your body a good workout, nutritious food, and the love it deserves and just look forward to how your body is going to response in the long run.
If you want to be successful in anything in your life, you have to show your passion. I can guarantee you that as soon as you start thinking positively about your body and start wanting the best for it, you’ll suddenly find the time and the energy you didn’t have before. You have to stop thinking about your body as a fat blob, that either needs to be eliminated by a drastic diet, or completely ignored. This type of thinking is exaclty why people make the wrong decisions in terms of their diets, and failing in staying consistent with their workouts. Switch your focus and start being passionate about your body in the most positive way possible. You have incredible potential to be happy and feel beautiful just as much as everyone else, you just have to make the decision and raise the standards when it comes to your body and your health.
Best,
Z.

Well said! I always love that quote “workout because you love your body, not because you hate it.” Working out should be time for self-care, not time for punishment!!

I agree to a large extent, z, but there Are some people who just don’t have the time ( not even ten minutes lol ); don’t have the energy ; and, quite frankly, think it’s boring. is unfortunate, but it’s just reality. there’s more to life than being in great shape, although I believe it is very important.

I don’t believe there are people who don’t have time to workout. Zuzka’s workouts are really intense and you can be done with them in 10 minutes. If someone has really busy day, I don’t think it is a problem to set up an alarm 15 minutes earlier in the morning. These busy people just len their excuses win.

Hi Zuzka,
I know a number of people who are at war with their body. All this does is make them cycle from good diet to an unhealthy one in a few days. They gain weight when they desperately want to loss it and hate themselves for being weak and unhealthy. What do you do for them? My answer is: You once mentioned a hundred push-up done over a day make a difference and this is true. Even if you can’t workout for 10 or 20 minutes all at once a couple push-ups ever few minutes is far better than nothing. Taking stairs instead of an elevator helps as well. These maybe not elevating your metabolism or forcing your body to adapt (much)but they form a good taking control pattern that can be expanded as is positive baby steps!

Great post!
This reminds me why I must push harder and harder every day. I love my body, I love doing your workouts and I have to thank you for that.
I think that the main difference between those two “types” of people is the way they consider exercising. When I talk to my work partners sometimes I can hear things like “I don’t know how you get motivated to workout on your own, doing squats, push ups and stuff like that…”
I guess it’s a question on focus. If you’re focused on the results you want to achieve regardless of the efforts it’s going to cost you then I believe you’re on the right track. 🙂
It’s taking a long, long time for me to see (visible) results since I want to gain weight. However I feel great about myself and I can’t imagine my life without exercising.
Keep up the good work Z!
