Beautiful toned body, good health, good mood: what pushes people to go to the gym and expose themselves to constant exhausting workouts?
Classes in the gym can not be called a pleasant and easy pleasure. Each time, in order to fulfill its norm and move forward a little, you need to overcome yourself by clenching your teeth. Where does this desire for victory come from?
Perhaps, you can divide athletes into two categories: those who want to make their perfect imperfect body, and those who have already achieved their goal, but continue to go to the gym.
With the first Category, everything is clear: they have a clear motivation, and before their eyes is a picture of what they will look like in the future. But with the second category a little more difficult: they have already achieved excellent results and, as it seems to many, can live in their own pleasure. But, here is the paradox, there are even more participants in training and beginning athletes.
So, let’s analyze in order why many people love sports so much and continue to practice it throughout their lives.
- A beautiful and healthy body
Achieving a perfect figure is not easy, but it is possible, especially when there is a clear goal. But it is almost impossible to maintain its ideal state at the same level without further training. Muscles lose their tone and begin to «swim», but the worst is not this. Much worse, a person begins to lose his willpower and can afford to eat an extra piece of cake, ice cream or fast food. Often in the minds of Arrested athletes comes the idea that from a hamburger nothing will happen. And two too. Three is not deadly either. As a result, the figure begins to change in the opposite direction, and start training after a big break is much more difficult. The result is obvious. Many athletes understand this in advance and do not stop training.
- Dignity
A person who overcomes his weaknesses day after day feels strong and confident. People learn to set goals, form tasks based on them and follow the planned plan. Not surprisingly, one day the goal is achieved, and… the meaning of life is lost. In order not to lower your arms and not change the usual rhythm of life, the athlete sets himself a new goal. Then another one. And so constantly. This helps him to keep the tone not only of the body, but also of the mind. This, in turn, energizes and helps to succeed in other areas.
- Psychological discharge
First of all? sports often require a very large amount of energy: this is especially true for active and aggressive sports, especially boxing, judo, Aikido, etc.secondly, even people who train quite calmly know that after training you come home like a»squeezed lemon». Thoughts become freer, everything superfluous and unimportant goes into the background, and there is simply no time for trifles and bad habits. The happy feeling of devastation is something for which many people come to the gym. By the way, this can be explained scientifically. The fact is that during training, endorphins (hormones of happiness) and adrenaline are produced in the human body. A person gets used to these substances and can no longer live fully without them.
Of course, everyone has their own reasons for playing sports. Someone wants to fight, someone dreams of proving to others that he is capable of much, the third sees himself as a participant in the Olympic Games… And each has its own motivation. But there is one thing that unites all these people: if you really like sports, you can never give it up.
