I have no motivation to go to the gym anymore, help?

[rizabelle]

Before like 3 months ago I went to the gym regularly but not anymore. I'm not overweight, I'm actually short and petite. The reason is that, I say I'm going to workout tomorrow but something always prevents me.

Can you guys help me, any advice?

i wouldn't worry to much about it, I used to love the gym, then I stop going for 7 years. maybe your just bored, try and look into something else, like yoga, martial arts, jogging, something that you really like. I have only just back into the gym after many years. try and other things to keep yourself, there are many more ways of keep yourself rather than going to the gym

more ways of keeping your fit, that just going to the gym.

Sometimes it can become a grind, but its just lookind at the end result that keeps me going personally, I'm in good shape but I want to be great, the way I look at it is going to that gym everyday is like a spoonful of bad medicine but in the end you know its good for you.

Its all about motivation.

Did you try challenging yourself? Do you love knowing how capable your body is? Knowing that you can do more? Don't you feel good after you workout?

Remind yourself that it can be fun and relaxing.

Sometimes we don't even feel like starting the things we really do like. But a single step makes the other 999 beautifully easy. =)

I agree that a friend to work out with helps, you guys could swap gym bags that way you have to go in order for the friend to have her workout stuff...nothing like guilt to motivate. haha

Working out is not just to get a body you like, it's also to preserve the body you like, preventing it to deteriorate to the state it was before.

If something prevents you from going to the gym it can be overworking.

The most important thing is to keep consistency in exercise, it's certainly much better than to overload yourself once and then losing motivation and taking very long pause.

I don't know what that feels like.

I work out because I'm frustrated. I think I've always been that way. I'm very aggressive and need to release energy somehow. If I did not workout or on occasions I don't workout I get agitated quite easily.

another thing that's help me to go to the gym is with a friend that is motivated, and pushes you. I do generally I find it hard to motivate myself to go. other than your really going to have to push yourself whether you like it or not.

You don't HAVE to go to the gym.

The reason you're not going is because you don't need to. There is nothing wrong with that.
