Exercise Resistance! - The Secret Barriers that Prevent Weight Loss


Getting started on an exercise program is one thing. Stayingon it is the bigger challenge. We have all been there. New Years Eve comes around and wham! Instant motivation! Itis only a small percentage however that sticks with it. Why? When you hear the term exercise resistance you of course think of strength training with weights, don't you? Well, it can also mean something else.

The phrase, "Exercise Resistance" or ER was coined in themid 90's. It means, a conscious or unconscious block against participating in a regular active program. Studies show thatsome people have barriers built up from past experiencesthat give them a negative mindset toward exercise and food. This prevents a person from starting or following through on a fitness or diet program. This is more of an emotionalfeeling that controls a behavior more than anything.

"I thought the golden years were supposed to be filled withrelaxing things to do, not more activities I usually put offbefore?" Have you ever just resented having to exercise nowthat you are older? "Why should I start exercising? I willnot follow through-never have. It will be just anotherfailure of mine?" Or how about not starting to exercisebecause you have a fear of failure? My favorite; "why doesJane look like she does and I have to work so hard at it? Itdoes not seem fair!" Have you ever compare yourself to youryouth or your best friend?

Each one of them; resentment, fear of failure, comparisons are barriers you build up only to at some point sabotaging your desire to feel good and get in better shape.

The answer to overcome these barriers is three fold. First,figure out HOW you are motivated. Second, WHERE yourdesires come from. And third, come to an understanding that these barriers are only illusions you have fabricated inyour mind. THEY ARE NOT REAL! The bottom line is, until you work on your approach to weight loss and fitness, thenumbers on the charts will not stick.
