We all here other people saying how they just don't have the motivation to workout or get fit. So here are some tips to help you get and stay motivated:
1. Get a workout buddy or support buddy. I have a friend I talk to daily on IM to help keep me motivated and keep me on track with my goals.
2. Set a goal. Set it for one month or 2 months and when you reach that goal, reward yourself with some new clothes or your favorite free meal.
3. Take pictures. Take a picture of yourself in swim suit or shorts and after a couple weeks of workouts, take another picture and compare. It's a great motivational tool when you see the results!
4. Cut out a motivational picture. Look in magazines or online and choose a body that you want to look like. Hang it on your fridge and look at it every day. If that doesn't get you working out, nothing will! I still have my picture hanging up and the closer I get to it, the more determined I am to workout even harder!
5. Plan your workouts. When you make a plan to go running or lift some weights, you are more likely to actually DO them. Sit down and plan out a whole weeks worth!
6. Hire a personal trainer. Most the the clients I get say that the reason they have a personal trainer is to provide them support and motivation. They say that having to be accountable to someone and having those 2-3x per week training sessions keep them motivated and determined.
Have any other ways to stay motivated? Let us know!
