It’s important that your fitness program is something you enjoy and want to do and not something you are making yourself do for the sake of desired results – that alone will not sustain your motivation for long. These things will help:
Swap training exercises for alternatives that you are more comfortable doing.
Incorporate physical activities you truly enjoy – dancing, running with your dog or friend, playing soccer with your kids, or just skipping a jump rope while watching your favorite show.
Add variety – develop a list of several physical activities that you enjoy and that way your workouts will never feel boring or routine.
Ask family and friends to workout with you. Find someone who also wants to establish a healthier lifestyle and encourage one another to keep at it. It’s also a great way to enjoy one another’s company and to strengthen your bond.
Another great way to avoid skipping a workout is by agreeing to train with someone. If you’re required to meet someone else, there is much less chance of skipping the workout!
