Motivation

Some days it's really hard to get yourself to the gym or outside for a walk or a run. Here are some motivating tips to get you moving! 

  • Prepare your outfit and set out your shoes in plain sight. (I am visual and if I see my shoes and if I already have my clothes set out then that takes away half of the work.) 
  • Have a plan. (Whether you're going to the gym or outside you need to have a plan of attack. Know what you want to accomplish and how long you plan on working out.) 
  • Have some great music.
  • Set aside the time each day and make it a routine. (If you find a time that you can be consistent with and stick to it your exercise will become a habit.)
  • Do something that you enjoy. (Enjoying exercise is 100% necessary. Find an activity that you enjoy and go to town!)
  • Create a Fitspiration board. (Pinterest is a great place for this. Also cut out workouts from magazines for hands on use when you can't get to the gym or it's raining.)
  • Have a fitness buddy. (Whether it's your parent, a sibling, or friend, sometimes a workout buddy can be a great for accountability.)
I hope all these tips help to get you up and moving.
