- Ooze Confidence-buy some expensive and fly workout clothes and shoes. “When you look good, you feel good” Halimah Muhammad Who would want to workout in an old t-shirt with holes in the arm pits? 2. Hit the Road- Workouts aren’t just about burning calories they’re about getting in shape, so going for a serious run or bike ride could be just what you need. Being outside sometimes frees you from your mundane routine in the gym. My client Trey McClure loves to remind people about his pool deck workout, where I killed him! We just did a workout on a pool deck and it was fun.
- Be Fit Parents- The worse part of growing up as a kid is having fat parents. Kids hate pretending like their mom is really their aunt so other kids won’t make fun of them. Or that their dad is just a hired driver! Look at Will Smith and Jada Pinkett they are good looking and fit parents and they have really cool kids because of it. One time my mom wanted to discipline me for misbehaving and couldn’t even catch me, I kept running until she forgot what I did.
4. Get on the Ball- Stability balls and medicine balls are really fun. Learn how to use those and you can add more variety to every basic exercise you usually do. Just using weights all the time is really boring. The different balls in the gym are colorful and cool looking, and when you use them people just assume you know more about working out than you really do. As Eugene always says “fake it until you make it, or just fake it.”
