Never Say Never!

Posted on 01. May, 2010 by Jay in Gym, Weight Loss

My trainer has drilled a few things in my head.. one of the things he likes to say is “keep moving, and keep stretching”..

Keep moving! Keep stretching!

Trust me, I know to keep moving and to keep stretching after every set of exercises. Sometimes I want to catch me breath for a second and stand still, but nooOO! I hear in the background, “KEEP MOVING, KEEP STRETCHING!”.

Another thing he likes to say.. especially when I look at him weird after he shows me some new exercise, or he asks me to do something I don’t think I can do.. he says “just do it”.

Well, he actually doesn’t say that.. I first look at him weird.. then I say something like, “what the hell was that?” or “I can’t do that”, etc.

He says something to the the effect of “try it”, but in a snarky trainer form… and to my surprise 90% of the time I can do it! He says “never say never, I don’t want to ever hear you say you can’t do something”, blah blah, etc. But really he has a point. I sometime like to give up before even trying something new. I have to be pushed out of my comfort zone a lot of the time.

The other day he asked me to jump these stands that were about three to four feet high; it wasn’t much but to me it looked like a mountain. So I resisted for a second.. but then tried it. And to my surprise I was able to EASILY jump three sets of 15!

The moral of the story is to never say you can’t do something until you try it. I worst thing that can happen is fail, but every time you fail you gain a little for the next try.

I think trainers are worth it.
