Notice that I didn't think twice when terminating my gym membership the first time? It was easy because there was no real motivation in the first place. Nothing that I could relate to, I didn't see any "real" physical changes except for the feel-good factor after a good 1 hour dance workout. The feel-good feeling was not strong enough to keep me going to the gym.
By this time, I concluded this few mistakes I must never repeat:
1) Never join the gym just because
a) your friends are asking you to
b) the whole office had a group discount and you get a cheap membership
c) your friend who "needs" to lose weight pulls you in with her to buddy and go together
WHY? Because the above reasons are not values you hold close to you. They are others' motivation. Not yours.
Do YOU feel fat and ugly?
Do YOU feel unhealthy or facing health problems such as difficulty in breathing or walking caused by overweight?
Were YOU advised by the doctor to lose some weight to keep your heart from getting clogged by fat?
Any reasons which relates to YOU are the only reasons you should use to join a gym. The decision to join a gym should be only about you, not about your friends / neighbours / siblings.
The only exception to this rule is NONE. Do it only when you have a REAL need to either keep fit or lose weight or tone your body. Only then will your efforts pay off.
I have REAL reasons to why I'm claiming the above. Read on to know why..
