Gentleness might not seem like the most obvious gift in a fitness context. I mean, we’ve all heard “go hard or go home” and similar sayings. And yes, I am going to work hard when I work out.
Even so, the attitude I bring needs to be gentle. My body is not there to be punished, but to be loved. When I am working to my limit, I need to be gentle with myself because that is hard stuff. I would never yell at a client, so why would I yell at myself when I don’t quite measure up to my own expectations?
Gentle encouragement makes the difference so many times.
What is gentle in your workouts?
