My exertion face.
Out - to a state of exhaustion, extinction or depletion.
Okay, lets talk about the 'work' in work out. Working out does not mean to simply go to the gym; lots of people go to the gym and don't work out. Others go to the gym and actually go through the motions but don't realistically 'work' in so far as the definition of work goes. They are moving, they even look like they think that they are working out but there is no actual 'work' going on. Sadly, this is just a waste of time. Okay, they are moving which is better than not moving; but they could actually be getting results which they are not going to get with no exertion.
Result based work outs require exertion. This means that you must push your body to do things that do not come easily. If you can easily bend from side to side then it is doing nothing as far as getting you into shape. Maybe if you do it all day long it might; but if you want to see and/or feel results you must exert yourself. That does not mean that you need to lift crazy amounts of weights or do outrageous numbers of repetitions. It means that you need to push your body passed it's mushy comfy zone.
If you want to become stronger; then you must lift something that requires exertion. Not a bucket load of exertion to start out; just enough so that you have a bit of a challenge. The stronger you get the harder you can push, exert. Building strength should be done in baby steps; otherwise you can end up hurting yourself which defeats the purpose of working out entirely.
I really hate to see people wasting their time at the gym; when all it would take is a little bit of work for them to feel and see some results. With just a little push in the work department you will feel stronger. Feeling strong is an amazing thing. Things that use to be heavy are no longer; things you couldn't do before, now you can. Just push a little; there must be some 'work' in your work out. Otherwise you're just wasting your time; don't waste your time, get strong.
