How to stay motivated for working out?

[Anonymous]

That's my only problem to stay motivated when I watch an action movie I get motivated actually but what other ways?

[InquisitiveMale]

Keep a workout journal and track key information- weight/set/rep/time, body measurements, dietary intake, and a monthly photo.

Most people who fail to stay motivated get that way because they don't get anything tangible back for their efforts. The only piece of information most beginners track is their body weight, which is the quickest way to crush your spirits.

Also... keep a kick ass playlist and throw in some new sound tracks every now and again. Good music is proven to help you push harder during your workouts.

When I started seeing results I just integrated it into who I am and made it my lifestyle. That way I never really have to convince myself to be motivated. I workout to be motivated instead.

Think about how hot and sexy your body will be once you lose that weight and tone up. Plus on how healthier your body is going to be too. Plus knowing that once my body looks the way I'm hoping for. That my boyfriend will just pop boners the second he seems me and it breaks his dick. :D That's my motivation plus I want to be able to look in the mirror and think "Damn I look so fucken hot."

You only become motivated when you start seeing the results from your workout. In the meantime focus on the end result , that should actually motivate you to go to the gym.

Once you start training... perseverance is the key. Then eventually exercising becomes part of your life.

I got friends in the gym who motivate each other,. and when I was a noob at weight lifting I always looked at the biggest guy and noticed he was turning heads with. the weights he was moving, and I thought fuck man I really want that, and I've done it, just getting the respect from the same guys I saw moving insane weight keeps me going, progess is what feels the best

Find a video clip on YouTube that motivates you to that level. Because it's probably not the whole movie, but a particular scene that gets you going.

Watch it before or on the way to the gym, then hit it

For me, my motivations have changed. When I first started working out, my motivation was "If Bruce Lee could do this, I can at least do this much" which was smaller in comparison.

The moment you know what motivates you, just push that button in your mind everytime. There will me more days that you don't want to work out than you do. It's a grind. But if you get in the groove it gets easier and easier. The times you don't feel like working out is the most important time to start, because that's when you develop the real mental fortitude to make it a regular thing.

The feeling of finishing it, is motivation?
Music to move to?

Do some challenge and see if you can do everything everyday, keep trying to reach higher

[Prof_Don]

Think about how good your body feels after you work out, that natural high is the main motivation for me!

[Prof_Don]

Music and podcasts are also motivation as well, giving u something to do while you workout. :-D

Think of any race you ever lost
Think of any game you ever were beaten
Think of any girl who ever rejected you
Think of every time you were disappointed within yourself for not trying harder

[Randomguy8182]

Once you see results it's addictive. If I'm having a bad day or something tho I chuck some loud ass music on or go on YouTube and listen to motivational speeches, gets you through those tough sets

[sean1234]

Hah, when you find out tell me. I try to realize what will happen if I stop working out for a long while from being lazy and then I try to realize how good it will feel once I start to workout again.

It's about habit/routine, not motivation. If you rely on motivation (a temporary emotion), then you'll never get fit.

[willow74]

Buy a gym membership. I find that spending money is motivating because I don't want to waste it.

[TheJack]

think your goals and why you have stared or search for an idol... but if you need motivation think to stop it

[Entity]

Just do it. Don't let your dreams be dreams.

Drives a lot of men these days.

[rcmp1234]

push yourself to go through, get into the routine of doing so, same time everyday; even better if you can get a friend to go with you

[ThisDudeHere]

You could try and catalog your progress?

[ZionOrtov]

NATURE IS A REASON BY ITSELF! lol

[apple24]
