How do you motivate yourself to exercise and lose weight when you're extremely exhausted and/or have little time?

Exercise is part of my daily routine. It is difficult to to motivate yourself when you're tired or exhausted

I generally workout on a morning before work , it energizes me for the rest of the day. If I'm unable to though then I go staraight tobthe gym after work, rather than go straight home first. Once you're home it's sometimes difficult to motivate yourself to go back out 😂

Exhaustion means you do not sleep or rest enough or have a incorrect eating pattern, so analyse that and correct. Time is a matter of priorities. If you find exercising important you will make time and reduce priorities for other stuff. Good moment to analyse both aspects and bring changes into life.

I've been really good about getting a good amount of sleep. I do think my eating pattern is off. Well, I don't really have an eating pattern. Sometimes I eat and sometimes I don't. Often, i excessively scavenge for food and overeat A LOT. I've gained 3 solid pounds in a matter of a week maybe two.

I really want to eat better but I have hindering factors. My dietary preferences are not in sync with my mother and i don't have the supply of food. My mom always orders take out and now i've gotten into the habit of doing that. Whenever I cook meals that are suppose to feed a family of 4, I usually eat it by myself in one sitting maybe two. I also have been on a weird sugar rush lately. Also, just for reference, right now I'm 5'8 at 123lbs. I'm trying to establish a workout routine but haven't gotten it down. I'm usually exhausted after the day and I have yet to get myself to just get up early to run like I want to.

Your eating pattern clearly influences your body fitness, so you will have to work on that. Don't eat junk food and skip sugar. Go to vegetables and fruit.

[kxera]

I eat what I have access to tbh.

thanks

You can motivate yourself any time and can also have sufficient time if you want to exercise and lose weight. You only have to set right your priorities and a lot sufficient time for this cause. Make your weight loss program and exercise routine your number one goal. Make plan and strategies to achieve this goal and stick to your plan no matter what.

I google image search pictures of the hottest chicks I can find, right before every workout, so that I can keep reminding myself WHY im working out continuously as motivation.

[kxera]

Doesn't work for me. I've convinced myself of loving myself regardless at this point.

[Cmasterson]

You just have to find time, I tend to sleep WAY better when i do, look better and feel better, I think it takes about 21 days to form a habit so once you're there you're great! Its more important about your diet though or else you'll be working out and seeing no results.

[Mallorygriffis]

It's all self discipline. The gym is my stress reliever but I don't always want to go. You just have to MAKE yourself go and once you start and get endorphins going, you'll enjoy it and feel really good and energized. Showing up is half the battle.

How do you motivate yourself to exercise and lose weight when you're extremely exhausted and/or have little time?

I am going way out on a limb here.. but I would call it self-discipline.

Just my opinion

[GingerGuy]

It's hard. A lot of people do it first thing in the morning while they have the energy. I think the key is having a routine, the same time, same days. Once you get used to it and in a routine your body will "want" it and it won't be a chore anymore.

[Anonymous]

simplest way to motivate yourself according to me is : Just look in the mirror (naked), I lost 12kgs by just this even though I have a hectic life.

[kxera]

Doesn't really help me bc I'm pretty slim so I end up brushing it off even when I tell myself I'm getting fat

[Opinion Owner]

Then why do u want to lose weight? I mean if u are already slim

[kxera]

Because I've gained it. I gained over 10 pounds. I felt most confident when I was underweight. I worked out and was getting noticed by model scouts

[PinkMichae]

Remind myself that if I don't I'll end up in bed with my illness not living just existing. Already did that for to long. As long as my body allows me I'm gonna rock and roll through life. ;)

[akadatank44]

I do it right away in the mornings. So I'm not exhausted from working all day.

[kxera]

I want to workout in the mornings too, but I really want a partner.

[akadatank44]

Well that sucks 😕 you go to a gym or worm out at home?

[kxera]

Usually in home workout

Discipline > Motivation

You're exhausted before exercising? Eat some carb-rich snacks before exercising. Don't have time? Make time. If you truly want to to lose weight then you will find a way around these obstacles.

[IsraelJordan]

right before you go to sleep or right when you wake up. i always do 100 push ups/sit ups every day. running is an every other day thing

[Kylesar]

You can't exercise if you're really exhausted

If you have little time, try to fit it in between activities

[sleetynine018]

Remember why you're doing that, what is the thing that moves you?
You know what i say? If you really want a thing you'll fight for it, if not then you'll find an excuse. ;)

[PurpleTeardrops2]

Get a friend to accompany you, imagine how sexy you'll be once the weight is gone

[kxera]

I've been looking for a partner for weeks and no one is willing.

[Aweir]

I personally dont need motivation. I enjoy training, even after a tiring day

[Anonymous]

I can't. I'm too addicted to the internet the last year that I usually don't accomplish anything.

[Chico_brah]

I like training in the morning.

[kxera]

I wanna train in the morning too but I really want a workout partner. no one seems open to it. I mean i have one friend but we have a different set of goals and training methods.

[Chico_brah]

I've been training solo for like 5 years aha. That isn't really me in the pic but I do bodybuilding. Training with someone makes me lose my focus. I'm sort of in my own zone when I train. When I train with a partner I tend to regulate my workout to their needs which holds me back.

[kxera]

@chico_brah I understand the regulating. I think for me though, i'd like to have a hard working one so they push me to work harder or if we both start then we can have friendly comp.

[Anonymous]

just do a few pushups to be done

[nog6422]

I don't.
