Tips to stay motivated

Have you ever started a fitness program and then quit? If you answered yes, you're not alone. Many people start fitness programs but stop when they get bored or results come too slowly. Here are some tips to help you stay motivated.

Remember how you feel after your workout

Think about this so pleasant feeling after finishing your workout.
You are relaxed, open minded, and you are satisfied of yourself.

Count how many calories you burn

You can buy a heart rate monitor in a sports shop, it is a wrist watch that will tell you how many calories you burn during exercise.

What could be more motivating than seeing the number of calories we burn. It makes you want to continue because more you burns calories, more fat disappears!

Have fun!

Your workout should be a fun time. If you chose an activity that you don't like, change it to something that gives you pleasure. For example, why go swimming if you have always struggled to swim?

The essential thing is to move!

Visualize

Represent yourself mentally how you will be when you will have accomplished your goal. Imagine the body you will have. Feel the fun you'll have to be comfortable in your skin and be healthy.

Success stories

When you come across "success stories", read them or watch them. Successes of others are incredibly challenging.

Find a partner

Nothing is more motivating. When we have someone to join , we are forced to go there because it is expected.

Write

Write your results in terms of sporting performance, changes in weight, waist circumference, a notebook or on a blog. Try it, you will quickly find that it is very motivating to be held to account in his book or his readers

Your "before" photo

Look at your picture and see how great you look already!

By registering to a half marathon, a triathlon or an obstacles race, you set an athletic goal that will motivate you to train regularly to be up to par.

Start!

The hardest part is getting started. When we are launched we want to continue.

If you chose running, dress up and put on your shoes. If you chose home workout, put your DVD in your player, press play and go!

Weight yourself

Be careful not to overuse the balance ... Your weight fluctuates and it is therefore unnecessary to weigh yourself daily.

Once a week is a good frequency. You can also control your waistline because the scale does not tell you everything.

Get an objective

If this is not already done, set yourself a goal. A number of kilometers to run in the week, some time doing a sport, a number of pounds to lose a number of inches off your waist to lose, etc .

Reward yourself

Each time you complete a goal, reward yourself, even if it is a small thing. For example, go to the movies, buy yourself a book, etc ...

Keep in mind that every little trick that works for you is a keeper! The most important thing is to stay focus and motivated! So let's do it, use everything you need cause you have work to do now!
