How do আপনি find motivation to exercise when আপনি just don’t feel like getting off your butt? I ask myself this প্রশ্ন every now and then, and I have the feeling I’m not the only one.
A few weeks ago, I wrote 4 Simple Steps to Start the Exercise Habit… and the fourth and final step was to add motivation as needed until the habit sticks. This post is to help আপনি with that fourth step.
There are a million ways to motivate yourself to exercise, actually, but these are a few that have worked for me. And trust me, I’ve had days when I’ve struggled with exercise. Most recently, the things that have helped include finding a workout partner (one of the best motivators!), logging my exercise, পাঠ করা magazines, বই and websites, and rewarding myself.
1.How আপনি feel after a workout. I always feel great after a good workout. It’s a high. And I let that motivate me the পরবর্তি time: “You know how good you’re going to feel, Leo!”
2.Time for you. While many people make time to take care of others (kids, spouse, other family, co-workers, boss), they don’t often make time to take care of themselves. Instead, make your “you” time a priority, and don’t miss that exercise appointment.
3.Calories burned. If আপনি count calories (and it’s really one of the most effective ways to lose weight), আপনি know that the আরো আপনি exercise, the আরো calories আপনি burn — and the bigger your calorie deficit.
4.Having fun. Exercise should be fun. If it isn’t, try a different kind of activity that আপনি enjoy. As long as you’re moving, it’s good for you.
5.How you’re going to look. Imagine a slimmer, fitter you. Now let that visualization drive you.
6.Magazines. It motivates me to read fitness magazines. Not sure why, but it works.
7.Cover models. Sure, they’re genetically freaky, and probably Photoshopped to look perfect. But for some reason, looking at how good a cover model looks helps motivate me to work harder.
8.Blogs. I enjoy পাঠ করা blogs about people who are into running, অথবা losing weight. It can প্রদর্শনী the ups and downs they go through, and আপনি can learn from their experiences.
9.Success stories. I find the success stories of others incredibly inspirational. If a fitness website has success stories, I’ll almost always read them.
10.Forums. Do the monthly challenge on the Zen Habits forums, অথবা যোগদান another ফোরাম full of like-minded অথবা like-goaled peopled. Check in daily. It really helps.
11.Rewards. If আপনি exercise for a few days, give yourself a reward! A week? Another reward. Do it often in the beginning.
12.Fitting into new clothes. Wanna look good in a smaller size? Work out!
13.Being attractive. That’s always a good motivator, as I’m sure we all know. Edited to correct language.
14.Adrenaline rush. I get a rush when I exercise. Ride that rush to complete the workout.
15.Stress relief. Wound up after a long দিন at the office? Get out and work off that stress. It makes a world of difference.
16.Time for contemplation. I love, প্রণয় the quiet time of exercise for thinking about things. Most of this post was written in my head as I exercised.
17.A workout partner. Best thing I’ve done.
18.An exercise class. Sign up for a class, perhaps with a friend, and you’ll be motivated to get there and work out.
19.A coach অথবা trainer. Worth the money, just for the motivation.
20.An exercise log/graph. For some reason, লেখা it down is extremely important. Really. Do it for a week and you’ll see what I mean.
21.Your before picture. আপনি often don’t realize how far you’ve come. Take pictures.
22.A 5K race অথবা triathlon. Just sign up for one, and you’ll be motivated to train.
23.The dread of feeling “yuck” from not exercising. I hate how I feel after not exercising. So I remind myself of that when I feel tired.
24.Living long enough to see your grandkids … and play with them.
25.The scale. It’s not motivating to weigh yourself every day, as your weight fluctuates. But if আপনি weigh yourself once a week, you’ll be motivated to have it keep going down, instead of up. Combine the scale with the measuring tape, and measure your waist.
26.Reaching a goal. Set a goal for weight, অথবা your waist measurement, অথবা a number of days to work out, অথবা a number of miles to run this week. Setting and tracking a goal helps motivate আপনি to complete that goal. Make it easily achievable.
27.Posting it on your blog. Tell people you’re going to lose weight অথবা exercise daily, and প্রতিবেদন to them. You’ll make it happen.
28.Motivational quotes. I like to print them out অথবা put them on my computer desktop.
29.Books. I just bought a strength-training book as a reward. It makes me want to hit the weights!
30.Others commenting on how good আপনি look. When someone notices the changes in your body, it feels good. And it makes আপনি want to work out more.
31.An upcoming দিন at the beach, অথবা a reunion. Nuff said.

oh, this প্রদর্শনী is a blast so far! blood, guts, mayhem, sex, lots of swearing, drugs and of course demons. and it all works perfectly! i প্রণয় watching the I.M.P shenanigans Blitzo and co. get themselves into.
but so far, Episode 2 is my favorite. never would've i thought we'd get so much character depth for Stolas of all characters. he might be a total pervert, but he sure is a good father. and his song.... wow! that brought a tear to my eye. i never thought he'd have such a beautiful voice.
also, i can't forget about Octavia. i've only known her for one episode, but she's already up there as one of my পছন্দ characters (along with Loona, of course). i really hope Vivzie brings her back for another episode. maybe have her and Loona on a girls' night together. that'd be great to watch!
all i can say now is: i can't wait to see what episode 3 has in store for us.
