Heeelllppp!!!
OK, I someone please motivate me to workout. I don't know what it is lately, but I cannot seem to motivate myself to get off of my booty and do it. I won't give any excuses, beacause let's face it, there aren't any. Can anyone who keeps up with their routine regularly tell me how they keep themselves motivated when you just don't feel like working out????

To be honest, I don't think motivation is the key... but rather making a DECISION to do it whether you feel motivated or not. Like getting up and going to work... I don't often feel motivated; I just DO it rather than face the consequences. It can help to just start with smaller goals... not something overwhelming but just do something and do it regularly.

Exactly, I agree with Misti. If I waited til I was motivated to exercise, I'd never do it.
It's now just something I do. I find for me the keys are: Planning - schedule your exercise in for the week - I do my planning on Sunday Variety - I swim, do general gym, run, yoga, pilates and weight train Accountability - use us here, or a friend, or your local gym, and make people aware of what you are doing so you can be held accountable Fun factor - I do stuff that I don't find fun (like running - which I do because it burns a lot of calories and I want to like it ;) ) mixed with stuff I love like yoga and swimming I workout in one form or another every day. Now it's become an important and enjoyable part of my life, and motivation is there, but there are still days when I don't really want to do it, but I just do it anyway and get it over with :) |
From this thread I found this post:
