If you are the type of person who finds it hard to get motivated, but know how important it is to workout - here are some tips that may help:
1. Keep your Workouts Short - If you are dreading going to the gym or doing a 30 minute home workout, just do 10 push ups and 10 sit ups and go for a 10 minute walk. It doesn't need to take up much of your time everyday.
Some days you will find that you are working out for an hour and sometimes 15 minutes. On the days you are feeling sluggish; just try to do a 10 minute workout. Anything helps as long as you are consistently doing something. You may also find that when you are feeling lazy and you just start a 5 minute workout, you will gain some energy and that workout will turn into 30 minutes.
2. Perk Up with a Coffee - If you are dragging your but and need a little pick up before a workout, its ok to head to the nearest coffee shop and grab a jolt of caffeine. Coffee will give you the need push to get yourself in the gym. Coffee actually wakes up your nervous system and may even speed up your metabolism for a short time.
3. Guilt Yourself Into It - While you are avoiding a workout (probably watching TV), think of all the other people you know who may be getting healthier and how bad you will feel with an hour of lying on the couch. As opposed to how great you will feel with a quick workout.
4. Get Dressed for It - When you come home from work, get out of your suit and right into your track pants. Instead of coming home and getting into your usual transition clothes, maybe a t-shirt and jeans, go right for the workout clothes. Even know you may not be going to the gym right away, at least your ready for it and that will automatically put you in the mindset.
5. Finish Line - Don't think of how hard the workout will be, think about how great you will feel afterwards. Actually, when you start your workout it doesn't take long before you are actually enjoying it - we usually just have a hard time getting there. As you know, it is the great feeling of after a workout that makes us all realize why we do it in the first place.
