Pauline Nordin on how to get through the Boring Cardio
Ok, there you go again...Sick and tired of the stairmaster already?
Hey, you've only done it 40 times this month!
Do a list on topics you can think about when working out. This is my list:
First, I repeat to myself why I'm doing this boring chore. I mean, it's not always a lot of fun, mounting the step machine at 4:30 a.m., and I must not forget why it's of such great importance that I do it anyway.
I tell myself this is the very last workout I have to do for my whole life. If I get this one done, I will always look good, always be fit and happy. (Yes, I know it's a lie, but my psyche is so easily duped!)
I promise myself that I can eat a whole chocolate bar (the biggest one of course!) for breakfast if I only do the cardio. This is a big lie once again, but it doesn't matter since when I'm done, it would be so unnecessary eating something that makes my efforts meaningless.
I visualize my ripped physique, everyone comments on my lines and how impressed people will be once I enter the stage.
Listen to the very best cardio music; Irish folk music! I promise you will get totally energized!
Visualize what the perfect feature of you in a major muscle mag like Flex or MuscleMag would be like. What questions would they ask you? What kind of pictures? What would the article lead to concerning sponsors, feedback, and model contracts?
Why Is It Critical To Visualize Your Success?
Well, as you're the one who's in charge of your goals and dreams, youcannot let yourself wonder about whether you've got what it takes ornot. Who's to judge that? Well, you and you only.
Don't listen tothose telling you it's impossible. They don't know, they just thinkthey do. Of course, hear people out, but be careful about what theytell you, and what you tell yourself.
Remember, you are what youbelieve you are! Period.
