Beginner Workout Plans: Starter Tips Part 9

Tip: Mountains and valleys

A lot of professionals in the fitness industry don't talk about this, but it's a huge part of the psychological game. You've heard that weight lifting is 20% physical and 80% mental I'm sure, and it's certainly true.

There are going to be good days in your workout plans; there are also going to be bad days. These mountains and valleys can be extremely stressful.

Listen: Everybody goes through these periods. There's no way you can completely stop them from happening, but what you can do is learn to recognize when you're in a valley and just realize that it's not going to be that way at all.

Get over it, and then forget about it. If you keep thinking back to that negative slump, you're going to end up hitting it again, faster and sooner each time.

Just continue pushing towards your goals and, above all, stay positive.
