Keeping fit and amazing figure is good and trendy, and a lot of people are hitting the gym with the goal of getting toned bodies but in reality, most people don’t get the desired results. In this article, Brandi Kupchella, a professional exercise, and domestic cycling tutor spared no words of truth as she gave possible reasons for people’s fruitless efforts in getting good bodies, even after endless sessions of workouts.

Brandi Kupchella gave 3 main reasons why people can’t keep their desired figure.

Kupchella had taught in many classes and going by her experiences with the students, she concluded that people are cheating themselves. To her, being honest with yourself and your perspective will assist you to do better at your workouts, and perhaps, become wiser.

Kupchella mentioned three reasons for your slow progress.

1. You lack focus

We have different trainers with different teaching skills, she says. The level of knowledge for each trainer varies, so in case you are lucky to find yourself a good tutor, do you listen attentively to the instructions you are being given? Do you take a maximum interest in the yoga positioning lessons that you are being taught? Have you ever tried to cross-check the weight loss instruction form?

Kupchella wants people to give special concentration to the lecturers who wear spandex and usually speak into the microphones. These are professionals who got certificates in the field, and they never stopped going to school to acquire more knowledge. They engage in rigorous hours of brainstorming to invent new effective workouts. These people are responsible for overseeing all stressful requirement of choreography, workout alternative, intervals watch and positioning.

Brandi Kupchella believes people need to listen to their coach, always.

It’s even better to admit to yourself that you don’t have all it takes to do it by yourself, that’s the secret to succeeding in your fitness pursuit.  You need to put your trust in your trainers because they have the training. They care so much about your progress as much as you also desire.

2. You are perhaps too lazy in your workouts

Trainers are not impersonal towards your efforts, and they can see the level of your commitment. Many times, they can also see that your effort is not enough to reach your full capacity.

For instance, you take part in a domestic cycling lecture, and your tutor demands that you put up more resistance. Only you out of the whole class members didn’t pull gears, under the weak excuse that you want to avoid being overly tough. At the time the tempo of the class music increases and everyone in the class is struggling to blend with the vigor, you are usually ‘the odd one out’ who only pedals gently, you don’t even try to strain your muscles as others are doing.

Try to put more effort into your exercise

Kupchella cited another instance where you go for a class in weight loss management. You are too rigid and lazy to change the weight management style you have been using since you enrolled for the training months ago. Now you can’t stop asking yourself why your energy hasn’t increased? The reason is not far-fetched. Your muscles are not getting the necessary gearing up it requires to improve. You don’t stress it much when you keep doing the same thing over and over again. Why don’t you lift a heavier weight lift? The only thing unpleasant that could result from that is the heaviness. You can quickly swap to a lighter weight-lift until you end that session. Try this all the time, and you will get good effects.

3. You compare yourself with other members of the class

Kupchella particularly finds this annoying. She advised that it’s absolutely wrong to compare yourself to other members. You probably didn’t take the same food that morning. You can’t even tell the number of workouts they performed behind you. You are there for yourself alone, so it’s all about what you came here to do and achieve.

Never compare yourself with other people in the gym.

Always be positive. Challenge yourself to perform better than the previous class. Tell yourself that you will put up more gear this time around. Say to yourself that you will grasp your sprint a little longer than last time.

Bottom line:

Believe in yourself. Attend classes to develop yourself. You possess more energy and power beyond your imagination. Planking for a couple of minutes will improve the push-ups you do. Don’t be anxious. Remain on your exercise mat and focus both physically and mentally. With time, you will improve your body.
