The same things are the most annoying. If you think about it next time, it will be like this, and you won’t want to go there again.……

That being the case, adding some freshness to your training is the perfect way to keep you going. If you get tired of running, try joining an aerobics class or spinning class at the gym with everyone. If you get tired of doing strength training, try unlocking some new moves, or explore variations on the moves you are good at, such as changing lat pull-downs to challenge pull-ups, and changing standard glute bridges to single-leg glute bridges... Keep going to the gym, and doing this will ensure you have a new feeling every time.~

In order not to go to the gym, we start to forcefully find excuses to convince ourselves to be lazy this time, but the problem is that once there is the first time, there will be the second and third time, and the fitness plan is a little "aborted" in this unprincipled laziness.……

　　To deal with this situation, just trick yourself into “going to the gym first.” To be more specific, you need to trick your mind: "I'm not in a good state today, so I can just go to the gym for a walk, and then I'll be back if I just practice."

When you actually start training, you won't stop it as easily as you thought, but you will stick to it until the end, because the hardest part is actually "coming to the gym". Now that this hurdle has been overcome, you will no longer think about giving up halfway.
