The Extreme Hassle of Going to the Gym

So the holidays are over, you had too much to eat, and you are now having trouble fitting into that pair of pants you like so much to wear. It's time to burn off that excess fat and flatten that tummy, and get yourself to the gym; however, there is one problem... your desire to go is nonexistent. There are many reasons people avoid the gym.

Time

Most people are so consumed with their everyday life. Whether it is long hours at the office, spending quality leisure time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, shopping, taking care of the kids or anything else that occupies our daily lives, it almost seems impossible to make time for the gym. People feel they have to spend a great deal of time at the gym to achieve their personal fitness goals, and spending hours on cardio equipment, lifting weights, or even stretching, just never seems to fit in their busy schedules. Throw in the time it may take to drive there and back as well as the time it takes to change into your gym clothes before your workout and clean up and change back into your street clothes after your workout, it's no wonder people feel they haven't the time.

Inexperience

Many people who are new and inexperienced when it comes to personal fitness are usually intimidated when they walk into a weight room. They see all this equipment and really have no idea what to do or how to use any of it. Although some machines have instructions, it is still unclear to a lot of "exercise newbies" on which exercises to perform, how many reps to do, how much weight to use, and so on, to achieve their personal goals. Personal trainers are usually available, but the high costs usually turn people off.

Self-consciousness

It can be very intimidating to some who do not have the "perfect" body when they walk into a gym and see others who have "Mr./Ms. Universe-type" bodies. Many of these people feel very self-conscious about this to the point where they feel they are being judged or even laughed at. They would rather avoid the embarrassment.

Money

Many gyms exist, but the bulk of them are very costly to join, and if you are on a tight budget, even the cheapest gyms can just seem unaffordable. Although personal fitness is important, keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table is more so.

Unpleasant environment

Despite the fact that many gyms are maintained rather nicely, some people still don't like the idea of being in an environment that is filled with sweaty and smelly people. They are grossed out by the idea of having to wipe off sweat from every machine they want to use or use a community locker room and shower with strangers. Furthermore, unless you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to the gym during "non-peak" hours, gyms can be very crowded and the wait time to use various items of equipment can be very long. Others are simply turned off by all the noise that can be heard at a busy gym.

In conclusion, many valid reasons exist as to why a lot of people don't commit more time going to the gym. Even though they want to get into a more desirable shape and stay healthy, the gym simply provides more excuses not to do so. They want to find a way to eliminate these excuses so they can accomplish their personal fitness goals.

Extreme Weight Loss Can Be Risky

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Stomach Stapling

With stomach stapling the doctor creates a small pouch in your stomach that can hold only an ounce of food. This method restricts eating and thus results in immediate weight loss.

* It is a very risky procedure and may cause stomach infections.
* This surgery is for people who are highly obese and severely overweight.
* As the chances for success are medium and it is also highly dangerous, it is better to try other less invasive methods.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure in which a narrow tube is inserted through tiny incisions. This tube is then pulled up and down to destroy a layer of fat. The tube then sucks up the loosened fat, and this procedure starts elsewhere.

* Along with fat you lose water, which can dehydrate your body.
* The procedure is extremely bruising and it takes 3-4 weeks for you to recover.
* Liposuction is a serious surgery and should be done by a reputed surgeon.

Insulin Abuse

A well-known method to lose weight with diabetics is to inject themselves with less insulin. They have enough insulin to keep them alive, but the insulin level is not enough to balance their blood sugar. Their bodies cannot digest carbohydrates and their energy is derived from the stored fat.

* With this method you lose weight fast, but it is very dangerous.
* Insulin abuse affects your kidneys and liver, and it also reduces your lifespan.
* This is not a good idea because your body needs the full amount of insulin to keep you healthy.
* Even though the chances of success are high with this method, it is also highly dangerous.

Weight Loss Pills

If you want to lose weight with weight loss pills, then get one prescribed by a doctor. Over the counter pills are mixes of herbs and stimulants that which can easily create an addiction.

* This may cause problems like high blood pressure, chest pains, dry mouth and palpitations.

Starving

Starving is the next extreme method used to lose weight and it is also a popular method to lose weight. However, this method is a great failure as within a few hours of starving yourself, you will experience cravings that will become stronger with time. Water can curb this craving to a certain extent, but the cravings turn into pain and you may eventually collapse.

* Starving can cause dizziness, nausea and headaches, and it may also damage your internal organs.
* Cutting out carbohydrates and eating a diet of vegetables and water will also fail as your body needs food from all food groups.
* A moderate diet with all food groups is the right choice.

Bulimia

Bulimia is an eating disorder, where a person eats heavily and then follows it with self-induced vomiting.

* This is also highly dangerous as frequent vomiting causes dehydration, oral trauma, gastric reflux, hypokalemia, peptic ulcers and inflammation of the esophagus.
* This may also lead to heart attacks and turn out to be fatal.

Extreme methods used to lose weight are not healthy and sensible; consider losing weight sensibly and healthily by following a diet and exercise regimen, so that the results are long term. It is not worth it to risk your life to lose weight with these extreme methods.
