Telling a little ‘porky pie’ is part of everyday
life, and if you said you never lied, then you would be lying! Have you ever said any of the following
without realising there was no truth?
· It wasn't me.
· I'm fine.
· I never got the message.
· Your baby looks so beautiful.
· That looks so good on you.
· That looks so good on you.
· Thank you, dinner was so delicious.
· I need 5 minutes of your time.
· I never said that.
· This hurts me more than it hurts you.
· I wasn’t feeling well.
· I was just kidding.
· I was only trying to help.
I guess this is closely related to our blog
"making excuses" except instead of saying that your dog ate your
workout program, you fib that you skipped that extra wine and dessert after
dinner or you really did squeeze in that early morning jog—when you didn't.
Personal trainers understand, surprisingly we too are human. No one wants to
look bad or let his or her trainer down, but it's essential to tell us the
truth.
“I
didn’t have anytime to work out this week”. A valuable
personal trainer is consistently revising your program to best suit your needs.
If you're misleading about your workout
or eating plan, then a trainer isn't going to be able to adapt your fitness
plan to help you reach your goals. And at the end of the day, you're paying a
trainer to help you reach your goals, so by lying; you're the one you have to
face at the end of the day.
“I’m fine.” Tolerating
strenuous workouts when you are in pain will only lead to serious problems.
Excuses on the other hand slow down your workout progress. Help us help you.
