Are You Seeing Changes?

February 18, 2012 By Mindy

-by Mindy IrishIt’s been on my mind a lot lately that I see so many people at the gym who, like me, get on their routines.  We do the same exercises, same classes, or same machines time and again, week after week.  I’ve also seen some of those same people looking, well, the same. 


It got me thinking and asking myself, “Are you seeing changes?”  I have to ask myself that because I do NOT want to get on autopilot and I DO want to stay mindful in what I’m doing each and every day.  I’ve decided to start asking myself these questions on a regular basis:-Is this class or machine or exercise effective towards reaching your goals?
-Are you seeing changes in your body, on the scale, or in your clothes?
-Are you uncomfortable during your workouts?
-Has your body figured you out?
-Are you getting stronger?
-Are you using your time wisely while at the gym?
-Are you bored in your “routine”?

  It’s always a journey and we don’t ever reach our destination to the point where we just “arrive”, then hang up the towel and call it a day.  We hit goals and then we should make new ones that always keep us challenged.  Even if we’re aiming to maintain our current size and weight, it’s always going to be a work in progress to maintain and/or improve our fitness.

I do strive to push myself each time and I do want to keep seeing progress.  I don’t want to look the same way in six months or be lifting the same size weight that I am today.  That will tell me that I have NOT been asking myself my own questions above!

How about you?  Are YOU seeing changes?  Food for thought!
