Starting is easy, but finishing is hard. Cultivating focus is a huge challenge for anyone, especially one that includes physical discomfort and sweat. Many people enter the gym with grand promises to achieve various goals, but they come and go in two or three visits because of 'laziness' and 'fear,' so they shove their gym clothes to the bottom of the closet.

Why can't you stick to going to the gym? There are a thousand reasons why one thousand people would do it, but if you really want to keep going to the gym, the following five suggestions should be able to help you.

Do a workout plan in advance (70% of people don't do it)

Many people have never made a gym workout plan, just exercising when they feel like it, exercising when they feel like it, and sleeping or playing games at home after. They've done this for six months, and occasionally dig out their gym card and say, 'Oh, I only went three times when the card was valid.'

Through observing the training environment, creating a visualized workout plan is very worthwhile. This will strengthen your mentality. Precisely specify the weight for each workout, so you won't feel lost when you arrive at the gym.

Maybe you have this feeling: when you arrive at the gym, you want to do anything, but you can't do anything well. A large part of the reason is because you haven't made a plan in advance, like suddenly entering a huge golden treasure vault and realizing you can't carry everything.

When you enter the gym, nothing is accidental; everything is within your plan. By focusing on the training for that day and completing it, you can focus.

Training partner (80% of people don't have one)

Without exaggeration, most people are solo warriors. Even couples who go to the gym together often stay at a distance because of the training partners around them, not because of interpersonal relationships, but because of the degree of understanding of fitness training.

A good training partner will precisely know when to help and how much help to provide to maintain the load balance, more importantly, he knows how to do this without affecting your attention.

When we mentioned concentric exercises before, we mentioned the importance of training partners. In the concentric exercise example, we always need a training partner to help us. For example, when doing bench presses, when you pull the barbell to the top, and then lower it, maximize the muscle stimulation for the lifter. In the case of the barbell bench press, you need a training partner to help you to stabilize the barbell and ensure you can lift it to the top.

Master the '2 up 4 down' concentric training rhythm, making muscle gain easier.

Focus on yourself (50% of people don't do it)

Every day there are new friends coming to the gym, some are well-trained, and some are relatively clumsy. Often our vision is attracted by the training members with effective results. Regardless of men and women, they will cast envious eyes.

The advantage is that you can see what others are doing, but the disadvantage is that you forget what you are doing. If you're crowded in the gym, you should not pay attention to everyone except your training partner.

Don't interrupt your focus (40% of people don't do it)

If you don't push yourself to extreme fatigue, what's the point of going to the gym? Many people think this way, but in fact, preserving strength is a more admirable training attitude.

If you make yourself too tired, it will have a negative impact on recovery and subsequent training. Strength training is a very intense fitness exercise, and it will naturally cause some inflammation and soreness to the body (but it will strengthen your body after healing, so you need to handle the training process carefully and don't make the training time too long. After warming up, each training session can be 45 minutes (leg training can be extended to one hour).

If you're still fighting alone at this moment, the best way to improve your training level may not be deliberate challenges, but to find a compatible fitness buddy, encourage and supervise each other.

The gym music may disturb you, but if you follow your workout plan, don't be indecisive during training, and training will become very efficient, and you can maintain a good habit of going to the gym.
