Hate Going to the Gym? Here’s What the Thin Do…

If you’ve been trying to hit the gym, but it’s been painful getting there; in fact, you can’t really remember the last time you worked out, then listen up… there’s a reason.

The naturally thin (typically) can’t be found pushing it on elliptical machines, lifting weights or are even aware of calorie burn.

Why? Because they don’t see working out at the gym all that much fun. Now, this is not every single naturally thin person. Some naturally thin people hit they gym to do 30 minutes on the elliptical or lift weights. What’s important to understand however, is their motivation.

In researching loads of these naturally thin-minded folks, it’s clear that movement is part of their life, yet in all cases it’s about the “enjoyment factor”.

Let’s take my husband Josh, who epitomizes the naturally thin mindset and body. He’s not all that in to going to the gym, but get out of his way when it comes to his hockey games each week. He loves the challenge, the game, the fun and everything about it. He’s not into calorie burn, how much fat flew off his body or how much exercise he gets out of his workout. He loves the game and he’s passionate about playing. The physical benefits are an aside to him.

This is true of so many naturally thin men and women. They find a sport or activity that they have a strong “enjoyment factor” and the enjoyment means everything! The focus has nothing to do with calorie burn and more to do with passion, enjoyment and skill improvement.

If hitting the gym has been painful for you, to get started look at either what you used to love doing as a kid, or get creative and think about what could be fun to get involved in. You may find you try ballet class and it’s just not the right fit for you. That’s fine. Just check it off as something you tried and move on to the next idea. You’ll eventually find the physical activity that moves not just your body, but your soul as well. Good luck and I look forward to hearing great success
stories.
