If you are lacking a fitness routine or find it difficult to find the motivation to work out, you have come to the right place. It can be easy to let life get in the way or find it challenging to work out alone. Yet, there are ways to get inspired and find the motivation to get back to a regular exercise routine.
Find good deals
If the price of a gym membership or workout clothes is holding you back from getting into the type of exercise you enjoy or want to try, look for discounts and offers. Many places offer discounts year-round. Finding them can be difficult so a place like Athleta, which offers elite discount deals, is a great option. The Athleta discount for personal trainers scheme offers great deals on athleisure wear, which means you can get back to working out in no time.
Put on your clothes first thing in the morning
What also helps is to put on your gym clothes in the morning, and then decide to go to the gym or to be active, instead of the other way around. It also helps if you have super cute and comfy workout clothes, that you truly want to wear. You could put on those workout clothes that you found in the discount sale and feel more motivated to work out than ever.
Set goals
It can be difficult to get in the right mindset to work out regularly, especially if it doesn’t come naturally to you. Yet, goal setting can put you in the right place mentally to knuckle down and get back to a fitness routine. You should set small goals and work up to your big goal. Smaller steps are easier to achieve and you can give yourself small rewards when you hit each one.
Get a buddy
A workout partner is a great way to motivate you to work out, even on the days you really don’t want to. The purpose of having a partner is to motivate each other. It is also a great way to boost your confidence if you fear exercising alone.
Keep a set schedule
Having a routine is ideal for exercise. If you lack routine, this is something you may want to introduce. For instance, if you often work out as and when you fancy it, you may not be seeing the results you want to. Or, you may skip a few days in a row and only work out once a week when your actual target is to work out three times a week. Your schedule can change weekly if you don’t work well with strict routines. Simply set yourself a weekly rota of the days you are going to exercise. If you want to be really on top of it, you could also pre-plan the workouts you are going to do and how long for.
