The prospect of a 45 minute workout can be daunting, especially if you’re just starting to exercise. If you focus on the whole task, thinking how hard it will be, you are more likely to put it off or give up altogether. Instead, focus on starting – laying out your mat and weights or lacing up your running shoes. It’s much easier and once you start, your motivation will kick in and keep you going through your workout. It also helps to prepare your workout outfit in advance – one less possible excuse to make.

Music can be a huge influencer. Statistics show that people perform better when accompanied by their choice of music. A great way to get yourself motivated is by putting on your favorite workout music. Get yourself into the zone.

If you’re new to exercising, start out by taking it slow. For example, if you’re cycling, build up your endurance for about a month before getting into something more intense. Going slow means training at a rate where you can talk comfortably without feeling breathless. It is, however, very important to challenge yourself! If you want to be something you’ve never been you’re going to have to do something you’ve never done, right? Don’t be afraid to push yourself just that little bit further every training session.
