Well...everyone of us are given 24 hrs a day. I believe in life we should be balancedly focus on 7 things; spiritual, relationships, health, career, financial, family and emotions. If you don't have time for one thing, you will jeopardize everything. Master speaker Anthony Robbins once said what good if you are rich but you're not healthy. Furthermore if you follow a proper exercise program it normally wouldn't take anymore than 4-5 hours per week.
If you stop exercising and start eating nasi lemak, roti canai, pizza and all those stuff excessively than yes, you will get fat. However if you maintain a healthy life style (good sleep, balance diet, enough water etc) plus with all the muscles that you have gained, you are more likely to keep your good figure even though it is not as great as when you still actively exercise. I believe once you have started body building there are no reasons whatsoever for you to stop anyway.
3) My house is too far from the gym.
I've seen an incredible growth in fitness industry for the last few years in Malaysia. Especially in highly populated area like KL. Everywhere you go you can easily find a fitness and body building center, yoga, aerobic and dancing studio etc. Not to mention big players like Fitness First and Celebrity Fitness. You may pick any one closest to you home or go to the one that close to your office. Plus there's an increasing trend for gym owners to run their gym just above the Mamak restaurant. So if you know where the Mamak restaurant is...just look up and you may see a fitness centre.
4) I'm a woman, and most gyms are full with sweaty boys...euwww
Well... i do respect the women's need for comfort and privacy. I can ensure many women not to feel too uncomfortable. Many gym owners nowadays have been targeting women as their primary customers. As a result, most gyms have becoming more women friendly. There are more cardio machines, women trainers, and fitness program specialized for women. In fact the number of women in a so called 'hardcore gym' have also increased dramatically.
5) Exercise is more like torturing myself, I better off spending some money at the slimming center.
You can look at it this way. If your body have been out of shape all these years, more likely you also have developed the 'out of shape' behavior in you. You can easily get rid of the physical fat from your body overnight in the slimming center but are you able to get rid of your 'out of shape' behavior that quick? More likely you will go back to your old habit and gain back that fat in no time. Exercising is all about building the mental strength and developing a balance and healthy lifestyle. The keywords here are 'building' and 'developing'. Those are your weapons to achieve your physical goal and to make it last for the rest of your life.
6) Most of the people who work out in the gym are gay.
This one is quite controversial and yet this myth has been growing for quite sometimes. Well i don't like to comment much but my opinion is nowadays gay people are everywhere. If they are gay, whether in the gym or not they still gay. If they are straight, whether in the gym or not they remain straight. If you're really a homophobic, then you may start exercise at home with your wife as your spotter.
Cheers!!!
