Don’t exercise because you hate your body.
Do it because you love it. Research indicates that up to 70% of people who exercise will quit within the first six months of training, with the highest dropout rate occurring during the first three months.
Among the main reasons people give for this “dropout,” one deserves special mention: LACK OF TIME.
That’s an excuse that doesn’t hold up, because a good workout doesn’t need to last more than 30–40 MINUTES! If you doubt that, just ask any of my clients I tag in my Stories.
Make a commitment and prioritize your health!
Would you miss an appointment with your doctor or dentist, or a scheduled visit to the nail salon?… Just like these commitments, make exercise something you can’t skip!
How to feel more motivated to go to the gym
Set goals and objectives to feel more motivated.
Start with simple goals and then progress to longer-term ones. Remember to make your goals realistic and achievable. It’s easy to get frustrated and give up if your goals are too ambitious.
For example, if you haven’t exercised in a while, start with three days a week. Even small amounts of exercise can be beneficial. An intermediate goal could be walking for 30 minutes five days a week. A long-term goal could be completing a 5K walk.
If it’s hard to find time to exercise, don’t make excuses. Schedule your workouts as you would any other important activity.
You can also be physically active throughout the day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, or park farther from the store. Walk up and down while watching your children play sports. Take a walk during a break at work.
There’s no such thing as a properly done workout that will “reduce” your lean muscle mass… believe me.
In addition to motivation, establishing a good lower-body workout split is also essential for reaching your goals. This prevents you from overloading a particular muscle with training, helps you respect your body’s recovery periods, and enables you to achieve the results you expect.
