It's SO Hard

[HaitianMuscle]

It's so hard to keep my physique... I will post picks. But I am now 35 and keeping up with the body I had is HARD I use to take BSN products.

but now I kinda stopped using this stuff and slowed down on the workouts, now I am in need of some motivation. Can anyone help?!

[pharmamarketer]

Ra ra ra. Gooooooooo Team!

[mcarthey]

Browse the fit board. That's what it's there for.

No it isn't hard, just get your lazy a$$ off the couch and do it. Is that motivating enough?

[Jtbny]

Was kinda nervous opening this thread....

If you are worried about not keeping your physique at 35 by what appears to be due to laziness, then it's obvious you are not into training for the long run. Only you can help yourself.

No clue what these things are. I'm 47, training hard, eating well and making gains. Maybe your issues are more psychological?

[bhoch]

Well stay away from the junk and get on fit day or some other place and add/track your food and get a good weigh lifting program going and you will be fine.

I do not think anyone here can motivate you
you have to do that for yourself
once you have started, then people on here can encourage you, offer advice if needed and generally keep you interested in continuing your progress

the supplements may help, not experienced enough to know
but I do know,they wont lift the weights for you, that part you have no alternative to doing it for yourself

thus if you are genuinely keen to maintain/improve your physique

time under the iron, good food choices, and quality rest - are the 3 keys
and you can find directions to finding them on many areas of this site

good luck in 2014 - but Luck is what you make it

Hmm,... troll, perchance?

[Robin13]

You need to stay positive and think it! Keep training as we can only encourage you ...chin up......Rob

[hmmmm16417]

Keeping it would seem easy compared to some of the guys on this site that made a complete transformation for the first time when they were OLDER than you. I would look on the positive side....you are there, you just need to maintain it.


YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Motivation comes from with in.

[ricktbaker]

Just look through the workout logs of people here that are much older than you and are busting their a$$ on a regular basis. You'll then realize that if you want it bad enough as you get older, then the only thing that is stopping you is yourself. Nobody here is going to be able to say any magic words that are suddenly going to inspire you to work harder. If you want it bad enough, you'll do it. If you don't, you'll find yourself sitting on the couch thinking about it more and more.

I'm 35 and a female. I've only just started lifting, and I came into it because my body doesn't look how it did when I was 20, through minimal effort (albeit kickboxing 5-6 days a week, but that was just pure fun!). Now, the old tricks don't work anymore. I'm changing it up. Within a couple of weeks of lifting, I can feel the changes and I know it's not going to be long before I can see them, too. That makes it easy. Lifting heavy (for me!) is the easiest way I've found so far to make my body feel amazing. So get up off your butt and lift some weights!

Or, if that doesn't work, then, to quote one of my motivational pins:

"Losing weight is hard.
Maintaining weight is hard.
Staying fat is hard.

Choose your hard."

Entered thread expecting pic of cawk.

Those looks like the secret ingredients for conjuring demons. Whatever happened to good ole chicken and rice?

[Jordanski]

Try only half of the little blue pill.. That may help.

Nah, it's easier to mix up a batch of magic powder and pretend like it's working for a while. At least until you look in the mirror six months later and see the same old out of shape slob staring back.

Well I am 38 going on 39 and it don't matter how many people cheer you on, the best source of inspiration you could possibly ever have has to come from deep within. All the supplements in the world will not help you if you can not find the motivation to make things work. If we get stuck we will change the routine, mix up the sets, or look at our diet and see if there is any thing we tweak.

Don't give up though, if it is something you really want go after it, and good luck ^_^

[kimm4]

No one can help, because motivation comes from within.

You want it, you dig deep period.

Strong troll OP, 2nd post. I wonder what the first post was.

This. Things change as you get older. You just have to change with it. My body is getting better and better everyday, but the things that worked when I was younger don't work as well any more.

exactly. OP it's not that hard. I'm sure you can find an hour or even just 45 min in your day to workout lol

Yet you opened it! ;P

I'm so embarrassed
