A recent study showed how those with higher levels of stress and depression were less likely to work out.

The research study showed that their anxiety, stress, and depression led to less confidence in their ability to get into an exercise program. As a result, the adults in the study were more likely to gain weight and have a more difficult time losing it.

I can tell you from my personal experience as a body transformation coach that everyone who attempts to lose weight is stressed and has anxiety about their weight and how they look. However, the people who make a commitment to themselves and their supporters end up successfully losing weight in the end.

That means even when they don’t feel like exercising they still get themselves up and working out because they have made the decision to stick it out even if they’re not confident they will succeed. Plus, you’d be amazed at how much better you feel after your workout once you got those endorphins pumping!

The bottom line is that everyone has bad days and lacks confidence at times, but each of us has to take care of our body and not let those bad days turn into weeks…
