6 Tips To Motivate Yourself To Work-Out!
Just because I'm a Coach doesn't meant that I wake up wanting to workout EVERYDAY. There are some days where I really have to talk myself into it just like everybody else. There are ways to motivate yourself to get that workout in! And once you do, your mind and body will THANK YOU! Exercising regularly provides the largest number of positive changes to how you look and feel. I do love to workout, but on the days I just can't seem to push myself here are some of my favorite tips to pushing play:
1. What is your WHY - Motivating Your Thoughts.
As a Coach, I hear this a lot - "What is your WHY?" Why are you working out? What made you start your journey? Everybody has a REASON - what's yours? Was it because of health scare, like me? Do you want to be more healthy and fit? Do you want to love yourself MORE? Fit in those jeans from 5 years ago? Find it. Hold on to it.
And FOCUS on it.
Keep it in the front of your brain. Write it down. Keep it by your computer, in your planner, tape it to your refrigerator. If you're constantly reminded of your why and what you want, you'll remember what you need to do to get it.
2. Power of Positivity
Have you ever caught yourself saying "I should work out" before? If you have it's time for a change! Who ever wants to feel like they HAD to do something? I don't know about you but I'm more likely to do something if I WANT to do it, not because I'm being forced to. When I have to do something and I don't, I feel like I'm setting myself up for some kind of punishment, and who wants that feeling? Not me anymore! Thinking positively is so important!
Instead of thinking of how bad you think you look when you don't work out, remind yourself of how good you look when you do workout! Focus on the energy boost working out gives you. Think about how excited you will be as you tone and tighten your muscles and I promise, you will look forward to working out the next day :) Fill your thoughts with "I can, I will, and I did," instead of "I can't, I won't, and I don't." You will see a difference!
3. Set Goals and Reward Yourself!
Not miss a workout this week? Take yourself dinner or go out and get your nails done, you deserve it! Make sure to set long AND short term goals to make your journey seem easier. Have a goal a goal of losing 30 lbs, break it down into 10's and reward yourself everytime your reach it! Set weekly attainable goals - your brain will begin to recognize exercise as a good behavior and make it easier for you to stick to your routine. |

4. Join a Challenge Group!
I used to plateau a lot, get stuck, get frustrated, and give up only to have to start all over again. It wasn't until I joined a Challenge Group and had to hold myself accountable to what I did that day that the plateaus stopped. It's hard to lie to yourself when the pictures aren't showing what you're saying you're doing!Not to mention the support received from your Coach and others in the group to keep you inspired and grounded. It's always nice to know that struggles are normal and that someone else always feels the same way. Being in a positive community helping others with tips, tricks, insipiration, motivation, and a quick-me-up here and there reminds you that we're all in this together and because of that we can do anything :)
5. Log Your Workouts Online
Document your workouts online! Share a quick pic to Facebook or Instagram to keep yourself accountable. I've rebuilt relationships with people I haven't seen in years and helped many others start their fitness journey just by sharing my journey! Again, helping me be accountable to get MY workout done. Inspiring others reminds me to take care of myself, and it will help you too.I also log all my workouts on to the SuperGym on the Team Beachbody Website everyday. I do my workout and get entered to win a $500 daily prize all for being accountable for my workouts. Sign up here to do the same!

6. Get Paid to Get Fit
Since becoming a Coach I am the healthiest and fittest work in progress I have ever been. My daily goal is to inspire others to reach their goals and to start or continue their wellness journey. Because of that, I hold myself to a higher sense of accountability. If I slack off too much, my Challengers will too, and that's not fair to them. By being a Coach, I know that I am giving 100% of myself everyday and the results really are showing for myself and others.
