I somtimes feel like a loser because I don't train all day.Sometimes I train and then stop. Somtimes I train non stop for 4 hours. Dose any body here have a tip for me so I don't lazy out and train every day. I try punishing my self but that didn't work.

you dont sound like youre having fun..training is not a punishment but something you enjoy...maybe youre watching to many movies in which the hero trains 14 hours a day...you need to rest in between or you will burn out..make your routine fun...write down what you are going to train on for the week...and set realistic goals and treat yourself to something when you complete them......remember your training to make your life better not to be miserable there are so many other things in life that can do that(work,bills,girlfriend,inlaws lol) this should be your outlet train hard but enjoy :wink:

 

 

i agree.....relax/ have fun/ and split up your workout........never punish yourself...give yourself credit...........at least your not sitting around waiting for whatever to come to you.

 

 

Speaking of burnouts i think i've done that... I hadn't had a day off in 3 weeks, and i had been training a little more than 2 hours allof those days... I went to do weights last night and i was SOOO tired tht i almost dropped the weights on me head... I forgot that resting is equally as important as working. Today i am gonna exercise the mind a bit more than the body (i have assignments to do for university)...

Sure thank for the adivse. But like I always say only 5 percent of men are what I call " real man " Every Time I stop, I will think that there are others out there training harder just to defeat me in the ring. I inspire my self to do the work. But I have to rember to take rest.

Go to your favorite outdoor place in the grass. Remove your shoes and train like mad. To me this conveys a sense of inner peace.

 

 

Listen to your body and use good common sense. It's great to train for a long period of time and every day, but it is also equally important that you give your body time to recover and rest. I also feel guilty if I don't train everyday. I try to put 2 hours a day in, but the rigors of Graduate School sometimes take their toll on me and I don't train like I should. I would push your self to go the extra mile, mabey have someone push you as well, but be careful to listen to your body and follow what it is telling you so you won't experience injury or burnout or both. Good luck.

that thought alone should motivate you, if you compete... unless you really don't want to compete.

Nothing is more important in training than having goals.

Having goals helps you set priorities. Make sure you have a written, yes written, training schedule that helps you track your work load.

If you are meeting target, you have much to be pleased about.

Training is important, but you should also listen to your body. If you are feeling tired and sore all of the time, what good is any length of training going to do you? I would suggest a workout partner or someone to hold you acountable so you will work out a decent amount each day. You can overtrain, which can cause injury and prolong your progress. Work hard, but use common sense and above all, stay safe.
