Now I know me saying this might surprise a few people, but bare with me.
The gym is not a place you go to lose weight.
Itās a place you go to get stronger, build muscle, get fitter, become healthier, to de-stress, to build confidence, to move betterā¦
The list goes on.
Losing weight is way more than just what you do in the gym.
Now, that doesnāt mean to say you shouldnāt go to the gym at all if youāre on a weight loss journey because you absolutely should.
But going in and trying to burn as many calories as possible or absolutely smashing yourself to the point you go home and canāt move any more is not the way to do it.
And it can be pretty detrimental to your journey.
See the gym as a means to get stronger, build muscle, get fitter and become healthier.
Itās a great tool to have in your weight loss tool box, but itās so easy to use it for the wrong reasons.
