5 Simple and Effective Ways to Find Motivation for Training
We are sure that you enjoyed your summer vacation well, but now that summer is long gone, it’s time to start (again) exercising. Do you not like the thought of returning to the premises of your fitness center who feel sweaty? Don’t worry, we know 5 effective ways to find motivation to visit it.
1. Promise yourself a real reward
Of course, great health and attractive appearance are the best rewards of regular visits to the fitness center, but this often sounds too small and too abstract, so in the end it does not turn out that some are crucial motivators. If you really want to motivate yourself, promise yourself some real reward for going back to the gym; it could be practically anything – a weekend abroad, a new pair of shoes, new exercise equipment or a brand new smoothie making machine that will nicely round off the decision to start taking care of your health again.
2. Remember some things
At least one positive aspect of failing to convince yourself that you should go back to the gym – that very fact actually reveals that you used to visit the gym more or less regularly, so you know how good it feels to sweat and then look in the mirror. Well, it’s time to comb your memories a little and remember what it was that made you feel good in the past when you visited the gym. This is a simple strategy, but it helps many…
3. Find a gym buddy
It can be when you already know or even someone you don’t know so well, but you would like to get to know that person a little better. You need someone with whom you will share the pain and pleasure of returning to the gym. Almost all challenges in life seem easier when we overcome them with someone. Place an ad on the Internet, if you really have to, or post about your need on Facebook, saying “I need a partner for regular visits to the gym. Are there any interested people? ”Sooner or later, someone will say that you will have a new companion who will help you return to your regular gym training routine.
4. Be honest with yourself
What is it that really keeps you from going back to the gym? The answer is never “I just can’t do it”, so what is the reason for your passivity? Do you lack money for membership? Do you lack time to visit? Or you feel like you are separating too much from the rest of the family because of those extra hours spent at the gym? Don’t have a car to go with? So, whatever the real problem, it can be overcome. Don’t have a car? Buy a bus ticket or buy some new props and make your own gym? You have no money? Work extra hours or reduce some costs – it never pays to save on your health. Be honest with yourself and find motivation for training.
5. Set realistic goals
And make sure you write them down, otherwise they will evaporate somewhere as fast as you should have remembered them… Goals are what guide us through life and goals can help you get back to your regular exercise routine or start you create it. You just have to take care to set realistic goals (otherwise they will have a completely negative impact on you) and take care to monitor your progress in achieving those goals. Find motivation. There is no better feeling than the feeling that you have succeeded in something!
