Yes, You Can Stick With Exercise Even If Motivation Is Low!

Even the fittest athletes will find that they lack motivation some times. They might not feel like working out one day, or they could find that they just don’t have the energy to try to push themselves. These are pros, though, and they will know everything that they need to do to push past the wall and get the most out of their workout sessions, even if they don’t have that much motivation.

 

Do you find that you have been running low on motivation recently? If so, you might need to take a leaf out of professional athletes’ books so that you can stick with your fitness plan. Here are a few ways to inspire yourself to workout regardless of low motivation.

Give Yourself A Goal

 

Lots of people feel a lot more motivated when they have something to aim for. So, why not try setting yourself a fitness goal? This could be losing a certain amount of weight by a set date. Alternatively, you might want to try to improve your fitness and run a longer distance or work out for longer by a set date. You might even want to go one step further and enter a half marathon as something to aim for!

 

Join A Club

 

Everything is always a lot easier in groups. If you like the idea of working out and exercising with like-minded people, then why not find a sports or fitness club to join? There are lots of running and cycling clubs for instance, including the popular www.pdxvelo.com. Even just taking a few fitness classes at the gym will help you get motivated again as you’ll be working out with others who all have similar goals to you.

What are you getting after today?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s never easy to get started… and a lot of the time chatter in our head rarely helps the process. Sure, it’s nearly impossible to turn it off unless you’re the Buddha.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But what if you just decided not to listen to it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if you spend just a moment considering how great it will feel when you finish whatever daunting task you have ahead of you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I write this, I can feel the heavy weight of self created pressure to do all the things – run a business, eat healthy, get the workouts in, keep our home clean, bla bla bla. But before I started, I thought about the relief of getting [insert daunting task] done! And here I sit, working towards (hopefully) providing you with a little motivational note!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’re not alone, think about how it will feel to crush the thing you don’t want to do, then go do just that!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #determination #progress #winning #unstoppable #getafterit #motivation #progressnotperfection #riseandgrind #onemorerep #neversatisfied #betterthaniwas #nevergiveup #sharethelove #startwiththewarmup #forwardmomentumfitness #FOMOtribe #FOMO #results #grind #exercise #jointhetribe #exercise #instafit #discipline #loveyourself #goaldigger #makeithappen #bodyconfidence #gymshark @gymshark @gymsharktrain @gymsharkwomen @beaconsmom

Follow Motivational Fitness Blogs

 

Do you already follow some fitness blogs? There are lots out there, including www.challenge-sep.org, and most of these document the blogger’s journey to get fitter and healthier. If you regularly follow their journey, their stories, tips, and advice, should help you stay highly motivated.

 

Mix Up Your Workout Routine

 

One reason why so many people get bored of their fitness routine is because there is no variety in it. They may just do the same workout or sport whenever they have a session. Your body and mind will get too used to the same routine over and over again, so it’s important to shake it up every now and then. Not only will this help to keep you engaged, but doing different exercises will also be beneficial for your body as you will be working it out in different ways.

Eat Healthily

 

If you are eating unhealthily, then your body will be drained of essential nutrients. You won’t have any energy needed to work out well. So, it’s best to always stick to a healthy diet so that your body and mind have a good source of energy at all times.

 

If you follow all of these tips, then you should find it easier to stick with your exercise even if motivation is low!
