Kettlebody Tip #66: Don’t complain during a workout

Or as my lovely and eloquent sister would say:

Shut your face!

See, when you complain during a workout, you bring your energy down as well as those around you. This is what Nike means when they say “Just do it!”

Instead of saying things like:

• This is too hard!
• I can’t do this
• This sucks!
• My legs are too sore!

Think or say things like:

• I will feel good when this is over!
• This won’t last forever!
• My body will thank me!
• My legs are going to look and feel great!

Now, if you are really in pain, feel free to say so and take a break. Even better, do something else.

For example, if your ankle is giving you trouble and you can’t jump rope, get on your knees and do push-ups instead.

Don’t complain about a problem…find a solution or an alternative!
