How to Find Your Gym Motivation Again
When it comes to going to the gym, it can be difficult to find your motivation, especially if it's cold outside and you're nice and warm and comfy on your sofa at home. But working out and moving your body at the end of a working day, where you've been sat down most of the time, is important for your cardiac and physical health. So how can you spark that motivation again? Here's what I have found useful for going to the gym more regularly.
Give yourself a reward
Rewarding yourself is a stellar way of making sure you keep hitting the gym. Your reward could be something as simple as a coffee afterwards or your favourite protein bar. It might even be that you get to watch another episode of that TV show you have been watching maybe you're looking forward to an "everything" shower. No matter what your reward is, you need to make sure you get one after doing your workout.
Get yourself a workout partner
Working out by yourself isn't really very interesting. It's boring and that in itself can mean you lack in motivation. There isn't anyone else who is relying on your going to the gym. If you go with a friend, and you cancel on them, they aren't going to be pleased.
It also might be that if you're thinking of not going, they can give you the persuasion needed to actually go, even if you take it easy for that session. A workout partner is motivation alone, so get yourself one if you don't have someone already who you can hit the gym with.
Do your best to track your progress
Whether you have an Apple watch or a FitBit, something you need to do is track your progress. It will give you the motivation to keep going on your journey. Do you want to beat your PB on the treadmill? Then you need to keep going to the gym.
If you have nothing to track, then you can't see how you're improving. Also, if you see yourself improving, then you know that the only thing you need to do to stay on that track is to keep going to the gym. Track your progress if you're looking for an excuse to go to the gym.
