When it comes to fitness, there are plenty of excuses, but unfortunately, it prevents us from doing well.
I understand that it's very difficult to find the motivation to go to work several times a week and get to work.
If you are married, you may think that no one is impressed. If you are rich, you may think that you will live longer than the poor. If you're busy, you might think that fitness doesn't affect your daily life.
Here are seven tips that will motivate you to go to the gym:
1. Schedule a workout.
Everything starts with writing it out on paper and making a plan. Without a workout plan, you can't be consistent (I know from experience).
Start with one day a week and then gradually increase two days a week to find the perfect balance.
2. Watch a motivational video.
YouTube is a great resource for motivating your training. Many of the life lessons told in these videos come from places of love and inspiration.
Without a motivational video, I wouldn't have been motivated to work out at 6am.
3. Set some goals.
It doesn't have to be just a weight loss goal. I avoid it because there is so much I need to do to lose weight. Instead, set goals that are consistent with your plan each week. You can set bench goals, dumbbell goals, and squat goals.
There are many ways to set goals and measure your progress. Without progress and results, you will be far less motivated to continue.
4. Exercise with friends and family.
A fitness trip can be truly lonely if done alone. Many people perform better by taking responsibility. If you go to the gym with your friends, you will be responsible for them.
If you don't show up, you not only disappoint yourself but also disappoint them.
5. Buy training wear that you can wear with confidence.
You don't have to spend more than $ 200 on workout apparel. I found that when I looked the best (dressed), I could exercise more confidently and consistently.
As is often the case with sports sayings, "If you look good, you are good at playing." Reward yourself by gaining muscle, losing weight, and buying solid training wear that you're proud of.
6. Share your fitness on social media.
Some people are rude on social media, but it's a great resource for motivation and inspiration. Many people are in your position and know what to say and how to keep their heads up.
Put yourself in as much positive energy as you can to reach your fitness goals and achieve results.
7. Do not compare yourself to others, especially in the gym.
When you're not feeling well, it's easy to lower your self-esteem at the gym. But doesn't that mean going to the gym? How to shape up and improve your health?
So, the next time you see the next strongest male or female killing it, remember that it's a journey and you have to work on it. It's not competition. You are on your own path, not theirs. Focus only on you and you.
Final idea
Fitness is an activity that is difficult to add to your schedule. But if you can practice patience and coherence, you will experience life from a completely different perspective.
The little things don't bother you so much. Your energy level will be much higher. No matter what you do, it will look and feel good and your performance will improve.
As long as you keep the course, you'll get everything you need, and more.
