How to Lose at the Fitness Game Part IV: Advanced Avoidance Techniques

 
 

In this final chapter, uncover the most advanced ways to sabotage your fitness journey, from common traps to gamer-inspired missteps. Avoid these pitfalls, and you’ll have no excuses left.


😖 76. Stick with Unenjoyable Workouts

“Only do exercises you hate.”

Motivation dies quickly when workouts feel like a chore. Finding enjoyable routines makes fitness sustainable and keeps you coming back for more.


📼 77. Take Advice from Outdated Sources

“Follow advice from fitness fads that no longer hold up.”

Fitness evolves, and outdated strategies are often ineffective—or even harmful. Staying informed keeps you ahead in your journey.


⚡ 78. Constantly Look for Shortcuts

“If it’s not fast and easy, it’s not worth doing.”

Fitness is a marathon, not a sprint. Shortcuts may provide temporary results but often lead to burnout or plateaus.


📺 79. Watch Esports Instead of Exercising

“Your favorite player doesn’t hit the gym, so why should you?”

Watching doesn’t replace doing. While gaming can be fun, physical fitness is essential for long-term health.


🚗 80. Drive Everywhere, Avoid Walking

“Park as close as possible and avoid taking extra steps.”

Small, everyday movements add up. Missing these opportunities reinforces a sedentary lifestyle.


🏨 81. Avoid Hotel Gyms

“Take vacations as an excuse to skip fitness altogether.”

Staying active on vacation helps you maintain momentum. Hotel gyms are a great way to squeeze in quick workouts.


🎮 82. Play Video Games Whenever You Feel Tired Instead of Exercising

“Games are relaxing; exercise is exhausting.”

While gaming is entertaining, using it to avoid movement keeps you stuck in inactivity. Low-energy days can still include light workouts or active gaming.


🕹️ 83. Blame Poor Fitness on "Lack of Gamified Features"

“If it’s not fun and game-like, it’s not for me.”

Gamification is helpful but not essential. True progress comes from consistent effort, regardless of how it’s framed.


✈️ 84. Blame Travel and Jetlag

“Traveling ruins my ability to stay on track.”

Adapting to travel challenges helps maintain consistency. Simple practices like stretching or bodyweight exercises can keep you active.


🏋️ 85. Avoid Strength Training

“Lifting weights will make me look bulky.”

Strength training is essential for building lean muscle, burning fat, and being pain-free. Avoiding it limits your ability to reshape your physique and manage your body.


🍞 86. Cut Carbs Completely

“All carbs are bad for fitness.”

Carbs are a key energy source, especially for workouts. Cutting them entirely can lead to fatigue and poor performance.


💧 87. Ignore Hydration

“Drinking water is overrated.”

Hydration is essential for energy, recovery, and overall health. Ignoring it impacts performance and focus.


⏩ 88. Focus Only on Fast Results

“If I’m not shredded in a week, I’ll quit.”

Sustainable fitness is about the long game. Quick fixes are usually unsustainable and lead to frustration.


🏃‍♀️ 89. Stick to the Same Low-Intensity Cardio

“Do the bare minimum and avoid intensity.”

Without variation, your progress stalls. Incorporating high-intensity intervals boosts endurance and fat loss.


🔄 90. Stick to the Same Workout Without Adjusting Intensity

“Keep the same routine forever.”

Your body adapts to repetition, making workouts less effective. Progress comes from consistent challenges and adjustments.


🔧 91. View Fitness as Something to "Fix" Yourself

“Exercise is only necessary because there’s something wrong with me.”

Fitness should empower, not punish. Reframing it as self-improvement makes the journey rewarding.


🎯 92. Avoid Setting Long-Term Goals

“Only focus on short-term wins without a bigger vision.”

Without long-term goals, progress becomes directionless. A clear vision helps align daily efforts with lasting success.


🏆 93. Never Play Infitnite

“Skip any game that blends fitness with RPG elements, like Infitnite.”

Infitnite gamifies fitness, turning it into a fun, engaging quest. Avoiding it means missing a powerful tool to stay motivated and consistent.


💪 94. Refuse to Level Up Your Fitness Skills

“Stick to the basics and never progress.”

Just like in games, leveling up your skills keeps you growing. Avoiding progression limits your potential and results.


🍟 95. Eat Whatever You Want on the Weekends

“Weekends don’t count for fitness.”

Consistency matters seven days a week. Overindulgence undoes the progress made during the week.


📊 96. Avoid Tracking or Paying Attention to Nutrition Labels

“What I don’t know won’t hurt me.”

Tracking gives you clarity on what’s helping—or hindering—your goals. Ignoring it leads to hidden calories and missed opportunities for improvement.


💸 97. Blame Your Finances for Not Being Fit

“Fitness is expensive, so I can’t do it.”

Fitness can be simple and affordable. Walking, bodyweight exercises, and healthy eating don’t require a big budget.


⛓️ 98. Approach Fitness as a Punishment

“I work out to make up for bad decisions.”

Viewing fitness negatively diminishes motivation. A positive mindset transforms workouts into opportunities for growth.


🎮 99. Skip Movement-Based Games

“Games like VR workouts or Ring Fit are too much work.”

Movement-based games are an easy and fun way to stay active. Skipping them removes a gamified fitness option.


🚫 100. View Exercise as a Punishment for Gaming

“Only work out to offset time spent gaming.”

Fitness and gaming can coexist. Approaching workouts with a positive attitude boosts consistency and enjoyment.
