"I Don't Want to Think" Is Costing You Results

We hear it a lot. "I don't want to think when I come to the gym.” True, when you come to Vero Strength, your program is written for you and we offer a lot of support and coaching. But thinking is one element that will determine your success. 

‍

No one excels at something, whether it’s your career or a hobby, without thinking. If you want to be good at cooking, golf, music, parenting or anything else, you have to engage with what you’re doing. You have to learn. While the gym is a break from life, it isn’t any different. 

‍

Here are some low-effort things that make a big difference: 

‍

Learning the name of exercises. Start by reviewing the workouts and videos before you walk through the door. Pay attention at the workout briefing. If we redefine an exercise for you every session, deeper learning stalls. 

‍

Knowing what muscle/muscle groups an exercise is working. That way, you are focusing on using that muscle and not just getting it done by overcompensating. 

‍

Asking questions. We’ve heard it all, so don’t be afraid to speak up. It’s when people don’t ask questions that we think they may totally not understand. 

‍

We're not asking you to become an anatomy expert or a programming whiz. That's our job. But zero thinking isn't actually an option if you want results, and it never has been, in anything.

‍

None of the above requires an exercise science degree. It just requires being present instead of on autopilot.
