Terry Crews Fitness Secret: Treat the Gym Like a Spa
Actor Terry Crews has a simple mantra about sticking to the gym habit: treating it like a spa. You can even go and not train if you don’t want to. But just go away.
In an AMA on Reddit, Crews explained why he does his best to get to the gym no matter what, even if he’s not going to exercise:
It should be good. I often tell people: go to the gym, I just sit there, read a magazine, and then I go home. And do it every day. Go to the gym, don’t even work out. Just go. Because the habit of going to the gym is more important than training. Because it doesn’t matter what you do. You can have fun, but as long as you are having fun, you keep doing it.
If you’ve hired a coach and pushed yourself too far away from the goal, you may not be tempted to come back. Instead, he gradually increased the number of workouts to two hours a day, and did so while enjoying his time in the gym.
Getting into a habit is the most important part. After that, you can focus your willpower on pushing yourself.
