Boosting Exercise Motivation
Getting into a routine of regular exercise
isn’t easy. In fact, it can be one of the hardest everyday things in the
world to do. The second hardest thing to do is stick to it. We get bored, we
get distracted, we get injured, or busy, or sick, or maybe everything’s just
too GOOD for us to think about exercise right now.
Fortunately, there are a ton of loud, bossy opinions out there telling us
how to get motivated, and stay motivated. Are any of them the golden key to
looking like a movie star and living to be 100? Only time can tell. For now,
just have a look over the list of things that have worked for other people,
and see if you can’t find an idea or two to kick you in the bum:
For starters, find something you love to do. There are endless
options when it comes to ways to work out. If you play well with others,
join a team. If you want to learn an amazing new skill and get your Zen on,
try picking up an art like Karate, Tai Chi, or yoga. Or if you tend to get
bored easily, get into outdoor fitness adventures, like hiking,
cycling, or
climbing.
Pick a good time of day for yourself. If the idea of jumping out of
bed in the morning and rushing to the gym makes you want to hide your head
in the sand, don’t plan on working out first thing in the morning. Maybe
someday you’ll be a morning person, but it’s not today, and developing one
challenging new habit at a time is enough.
Make sure you’re doing something convenient, such as taking classes
at a gym or studio on the way to or from work. If it’s a pain to get to,
you’re not going to do it, so put a treadmill in front of the TV, jog at a
nearby park, or throw away your car keys and put your bike in the driveway.
Try new things. The more variety you have in
physical activity, the
healthier you’ll be. This is because different exercises work out different
joints, muscle groups, and organs, which ensures
total body fitness. Try a
fun new sport, discipline, or exercise every week.
Eliminate opportunities for excuses. Another great thing about
doing a variety of activities is that you can switch up between two. Maybe
you like to run but today, it’s cold and rainy. Goodbye motivation! On days
like this, it’s good to have a weight routine or yoga set to do at home.
Seriously, no excuses! Always keep in mind that every little bit
helps. If you miss one day, there’s no reason to throw the whole week out
the window. Even five minutes here and there throughout your day is better
than nothing.
Remember that fitness happens from the inside out. Many people quit
because they don’t see results, but the truth is that all the most important
results are invisible. Before you get thin and buff, your organs will be
cleansed of fat and toxins, your joints will become supple, and your muscles
and immune system will strengthen. Keep in mind that although you can’t see
it, an amazing transformation is happening.
Reward your body, not your brain. A reward for getting fit should
not be eating a pie or lying around like a slug. Treat yourself to a real
body luxury, like a massage, a hot sauna, a round of golf, or an active day on
the slopes or at the beach. This way, you get a long, rich reward with great
memories attached to it, as opposed to post-consumption guilt or lazy-day
ennui.
Do activities with your friends. Sign up for a
yoga class with your
best mate or partner. You can motivate each other to go, and push each other
to do well. After all, there’s nothing like good old-fashioned social
pressure when it comes to doing things you’d rather not.
By applying a magical combination of the above suggestions, every physical
activity you do will become an unmitigated delight...just kidding. The truth
is that some days will always be hard, but if done properly,
working out
becomes its own motivation. At first it can be torture, but eventually, it
becomes deeply rewarding and satisfying, leaving you feeling energized and
content. Motivating factors come and go, but the guarantee that regular
exercise can offer you is that one day you will lift your head up from the
sweat and sore muscles and realize that you feel better, and look better,
than you ever believed possible.
