Pray Tell Why You Don't Exercise...Actually Don't!

Here's a little disclaimer first...I work part time as a personal trainer at a local gym. I love my long term clients, they work hard and are dedicated (for the most part)...their eating habits are a different story, but we are working on that. We pick and choose our battles and celebrate small victories. Life does happen ladies and gentlemen and not everyone is me I do realize that (not that I don't have my issues...good God don't get me started...portion control, sweet tooth, self loathing, no off switch...). This all being said every once in a while I get a client (that I get rid off as quickly as I can from my schedule) that just isn't the right fit aka a WHINER. Over the years these are just some of the gems that I heard regarding exercise and nutrition...

"I didn't wake up on time (late for appt at 11 am) because I work four 10 our days (7am-7pm)."

I got 3 jobs...try again.
...


"I don't like to sweat."

Fantastic...first of all, you may want to move from Arizona and then may I suggest a liposuction or wiring your jaw shut (for all the obvious reasons).
...


"My knees hurt and I get winded quickly."

Well I would hurt too if I had to carry that load.
...


"I don't want to get bulky."

You're already bulky, now let's get to work. The day you start looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger I will let you know (not to worry, we got WAAAYS to go). 
 ...


" I am allergic to water."

And I am allergic to bullshit, yet here we are.
...


"I quit drinking soda...I only had 32oz today."

Are you shitting me?! You're the reason shampoo bottles have directions on them.
...


"I have a hairline fracture..."
Me: "Where?"
"Well, it's not a fracture yet...but it hurts."

Excellent, we got a doctor in the house...well, I have an aneurism...not today, but I am sure it will happen if I continue listening to this BS.

 ....and in conclusion, it is perfectly OK we are not all the same (this world would be an awful place if everyone was like me). Some like physical activity, others don't. Some are fit, some fat, some skinny. And that is OK. However, please own your bullshit and accept it...stop feeding it to others! Thank you.
