How do you get motivated to workout?
How many times have you started working out and then quit? You will never reach your goals that way!Stay motivated by printing your own list and reading it daily. (loud)Let's face it. Most of us have the best intentions when we start a new workout or make the new year resolutions."This is the time that I will actually stick to body building or fitness and not quit!" or "Last time I was forced to quit because I was too busy to lift, but this time I am serious!"Everybody has an excuse about why they haven't yet achieved all their body building or fitness goals. Don't feel too bad though how many really buff and ripped people do you see on an average day while walking around the city? Maybe one or two if any!Admit it, Guys! Most of the time when you skip a workout or quit your program it is because you were downright lazy.We have all been there. You know, that dark place where it feels like nothing short of a personal invitation from Arnold will get you off the couch and into the gym. But whether you're battling workout boredom, weight loss plateaus, or injuries, you don't have to let any obstacle sidetrack your fitness.All you need is the right motivation. All you need is the right fitness buddy. All you need is the right people around you to motivate. Here are some tips:Set up a standing appointment with a friend whose fitness level matches yours and start workout together. Your mutual motivation lulls will cancel each other out. Research shows that having a dedicated workout partner makes you more likely to stick with an exercise program.If you truly don't feel like you can get out the door, just put on your workout clothes. If that feels good, throw on some sneakers. Even if you stay in the house, the clothes will give you an increased range of motion, so you'll probably put more energy into your chores.Interval-style exercise spinning classes; raises your metabolism both during and after the exercise. Steady activity Let’s say, 30 minutes on a treadmill burns about 6 to 8 calories per minute.Hope these help you to stay motivated! Good luck! :)PS: I use the fitness app FiTurtle to stay motivated and share fitness experience.

How do you stay motivated to work out after work?
There are 2 things to help with this.1 - Know why you're changing the habit in the first place.In other ways, you have to know the answer to the following questions:"Why is this important to you?""How does this affect your life?""How does this help you reach your life's goal?"Without knowing why you're changing a habit, you'll never find the grit, determination, and long-term motivation to change.If you want to avoid this mistake, do the following:Ask yourself, "why is this important to me?"Ask yourself, "but why?"Repeat step 2Repeat step 3Repeat step 4This is known as the 5-Whys. It sounds like a kid asking their parents the same question over and over again, but it really helps to get down to the core reason. You may not need all 5 to get there. However, you need to know exactly why you want to change this habit in the first place.2 - Don’t use willpower and motivation to get you to work out.People fail to change habits all the time because of willpower - not the lack of it, but the heavy dependence on it. So rather than relying on willpower and overdoing it, start small. Make any change you want to make so small and easy that it's impossible for you to avoid.Stop trying to push a boulder up a mountain. Instead, start with a pebble.Make the habit as easy as possible. Are you making excuses to not work out? Maybe you're trying to do too much at one time. Commit to doing on 10% of what you want to do. Here are a couple of small goals that will lead to huge changes.If you want to go to the gym for 30 minutes, make it your goal to put on your gym clothes.Make it your goal to go to the gym just to swipe your gym card.

How do you stay motivated when things don't work out, and stay grounded when you're successful?
“Motivation is what energizes u to start, inspiration is what keeps you going”.It may seem like subtle distinction but the world's of motivation n inspiration are poles apart! So my first advice is it doesn't really matter how motivated u r what matters is how inspired u r!Motivation is about psyching yourself up, it's the attraction to your desires, wants n those material things which charge u. U get motivated when u hear or read something good but if u r not really inspired for your work u would drop down to the bottom in no time.Inspiration is the passion to achieve something, to make a difference in the society. Motivation is external n short-lived inspiration is internal and lifelong.“Motivation is what happens when u take hold of an idea, inspiration is what happens when an idea takes hold of u”. Motivation is the push whereas inspiration is the pull!So b inspired love your work n focus only in getting better with each passing day!Now when u r successful u just need to think that the stage at which u r today is coz of the people who helped u! Once u r capable of making a difference in others lives go ahead n do that! Be humble, be helpful, b polite because finally what matters is the kind of person u r, not the money u make!
How can I get motivated to work out?
There are several ways to keep motivated for working out, I'll list a couple from my own experience, but first remember that the most important thing is how much you want it, and forcing yourself to understand that you will not succeed without hard work. There are many days when I feel tired and don't want to work out but I just think about my goal to keep motivated. Anyway, here are a couple day-to-day things to consider: 1. Make sure to get enough sleep. This will help your body get in shape and will give you more energy throughout the day. 2. Your body develops a pattern over time of when you are tired and when your second wind kicks in, if you work out at the same time every day your body will give you an extra boost of energy. I try to work out around 5 every day and I usually feel good enough to work out then. For a weight lifting session it is good to do it after you have eaten two full meals. 3. Make sure to eat filling meals that will give you the energy to work out. I usually eat something a little while before working out (not before cardio, of course because you don't want to cramp up). 4. Keep mixing up workouts. If a workout is too difficult/confusing/painful for you, it will make you not want to do it, and before long you will stop working out all together. Believe it or not, you will eventually enjoy working out (hopefully) and while it's not necessarily fun, your body was made for physical activity like this and rewards good workouts with a "runner's high." 5. If you are having trouble sticking to a workout or diet, start keeping track of when you cheat or skip a workout/meal and then have someone you respect/look up to that you have to report to at the end of every week/month so that you will be more inspired to keep to your workouts because you don't want to disappoint that person. 6. Set an exact goal you are working towards so that you can track your progress. The feeling of getting closer to your goal should be rewarding enough and motivate you to keep going. 7. Every now and then it's okay to skip a workout if you are not feeling up to it, as long as you mostly keep to your schedule it's okay to reward yourself every now and then if you aren't feeling up to a workout. Just make sure to keep working towards your goal after your break is over. I hope these tips help you, good luck reaching your goal!
How do I stay motivated to workout everyday?
That’s a good question Chris, as even the most diligent of us sometimes wonder “do I have to do this for the rest of my life”?My trigger was external - being diagnosed with diabetes. Later I had other external benefits / motivations when I had two different cancers and operations. I directly experienced the payoff of being fit.However, even today I still leave home some nights and think “I really don’t want to go tonight” - even knowing those benefits.But I know that both the inner and the outer aspects of my life have been changed by being fit and being consistent and sticking with it.As a matter of fact, I always feel better when I finish. So I think of walking out of the gym, or finishing the run, and feeling better. So I visualise and contrast that certain feeling which I will attain as compared to how I will regret staying home, wasting an hour, and gaining only the guilt from thinking about the fact that I could have gone and not been lazy.I also reaffirm how the benefits are so wide-reaching, especially at my age (70). The will to exercise starts in your brain, then it manifests itself in your body, and then it circles back to reaffirm your sense of being a purposeful capable agile and well-postured human being in your mind. You could say that it adds to your self-image.Biologically, exercise acts as a catalyst in providing the energy and mindset for the other key ingredients of your life: focus, discipline, persistence, domain knowledge and talent. Reflecting on that may kick you back into a consistent exercise routine.On the less “mindset” side, I have also found a few other techniques help:Don’t overload your week with fitness - you can do 3 or 4 sessions and be very fit;Make sure that you are investing your time in a program that is delivering real results - not something that hasn’t produced any change for the last 3 years;Aim to be the fittest person in the room, not the strongest;Have a program which you can feel across your entire frame and body, that will ultimately make you feel the best;Find some specific things that you really enjoy and swap some other things out - provided you still have the balance of strength, intervals, and functional. I swapped out HIIT program for running 5km twice a week, with interval training in the running.In short, find ways to make your fitness routine add as much value to your everyday life as you can (and fit into your everyday life to the greatest extent possible).Hope that helps. Good luck.

It's impossible to for anyone to say or tell you to stay motivated the only way it works is if you want to make these changes because you want to. Youtube has workouts and ect on there check it out. Joggs, walks, speed walks, runs will help. When i work on my stomach i do sit up double my age that i'am. But to start off, I did this every night just to keep in shape.Start ur sit up one the age u are, next every time u do ur sit up do 10 more then u did the last time.
