HOLIDAY HUSTLE; MAINTAIN YOUR MOTIVATION OVER THE HOLIDAYS
5 Ways to Maintain Fitness Motivation
|
Starting a new fitness regimen is exciting: you’ve created goals for yourself, committed to positively changing your lifestyle, and have said ‘yes’ to possibility. Your eagerness to start this lifestyle change is nearly palpable as you envision your new, healthier self going to Pilates three times a week and taking wheatgrass shots every morning (yum?). You’ve seen what your healthier future looks like, and you can’t wait to get there.
But, as time progresses, your regimen transitions, and your goals begin floating down that violent river known as ‘life’. That new routine you’ve established can quickly dwindle down into fewer workouts than you’d imagined in the beginning. You didn’t see it coming, but, somehow it happened.
Let’s face it… we’ve all been there.
Next time that ever-so-enticing devil on your shoulder tells you to hit the snooze button just one more time , use these five tips to keep your motivation strong.
1. Change your phone wallpaper to an image that inspires you.
Even though most of us won’t admit it, we look at our phones countless times a day. Whether you’re waiting in traffic or in line at the grocery store, your smartphone is the first thing you reach for to keep your mind occupied. If you’re always looking at your phone, you might as well use its powers for good.

3. Exercise with a partner or group.
Misery loves company, right? Dripping sweat in a boxing class with a group of friends sounds way more exciting than doing it alone.

4. WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS!!
By putting pen to paper, you’re making a physical commitment to your goals and are more likely to follow through with them. Your fitness classes are goals: you are setting out each week to show up and give it your all.
Looking at your fitness classes like a business meeting will create more of an obligation for yourself. You wouldn’t cancel on your boss, would you? Write it in your planner or put it in your Google calendar like an appointment you can’t miss. Bonus: crossing off completed tasks on your to-do list releases hormones in your body that send a feel-good rush to your brain, leaving you happy and feeling accomplished.
