How To Stay Motivated To Workout — 10 Tips & Tricks
How To Stay Motivated To Workout — 10 Tips & Tricks

To stay motivated to workout, follow these tips:
 

1. Plan A Routine — plan it, slay it, make it a habit.

The first step to success is planning a workout, whether it's a Zoom yoga class, stretching and strengthening at home, or going to a gym.

 

Plan your workouts a week in advanceWrite your weekly workout schedule on your calendar, stick a note on your fridge, set a reminder on your phone – anything to help you remember.
Schedule a time that works for youFigure out a time that works best for you. Perhaps it's when your gym is empty, and you can work out in peace, or maybe you like the evening crowd or the morning rush before work.
Create a routineYour workouts should be like brushing your teeth; it's something you just do! Try not to think of it as hard work. Tell people about what you're doing or practice with a friend or family member for peer support.
Edit as you goAs you progress, you can play around with the frequency, intensity, time, or type of exercise. For example, after two weeks of jogging for 10 minutes a day, you can increase it to 20 minutes.

 

Try this workout routine for beginners.
 

2. Listen To Your Body — pain is a red flag, not a vibe

If, on a scale of 1-10, you feel your pain rises above a 4, then slow down or stop completely. Though it’s normal to feel soreness or muscle tension during strenuous exercise, especially when starting out, you must recognise whether or not the pain is good or bad. 

 

If the pain is sharp, then stop and relax. If it lasts more than 24 hours, see a health professional. Don't push through the pain; instead, adjust your routine to find the frequency and level that's right for you.

3. Set Your Goals — one step closer every single day

When starting out, you should set simple, attainable goals and then work your way up to longer-range goals. Remember to make all your goals realistic and achievable, even the long-term ones. If you don’t, you may get frustrated and give up when you’re unable to meet your goals.

 

If you haven't exercised in a while, a short-term goal could be to walk 10 minutes a day, five days a week. An intermediate goal can be 30 minutes of walking five days a week. A long-term goal may be to complete a 5K walk.

4. Let It Be Fun — turn your workout into a party

Find sports or activities you enjoy, and then change up your routine to keep you on your toes. If you don't enjoy exercise, try something else. Join a volleyball or softball league. Take a class in ballroom dancing. Enrol in a health club or martial arts centre. Discover your hidden sporting talent. Or try outdoor workouts!

 

Remember, exercise doesn't have to be boring, and if you enjoy it, you're more likely to stick with a fitness program.
 

5. Join Forces With Friends, Neighbors or Others — friends who sweat together, stick together

You are not alone. Invite your friends to join you in your workouts. Exercise with your loved ones. Play football with your kids. Join yoga classes. Organise a group of neighbours to take fitness classes at a local health club. This can motivate you to show up daily.

6. Reward Yourself — hit your goals, get your gifts.

After each exercise, take a few minutes to enjoy the feeling that exercise gives you. This type of intrinsic reward can help you make a long-term commitment to regular exercise.

 

External rewards can also help. Upon reaching a bigger goal, treat yourself to a new pair of sports shoes or new clothes.

7. Be Competitive — your competition: yesterday’s you

Always remember, it’s not others you are competing with! It’s the yesterday’s version of you. Today, you are motivated and enthusiastic! 

 

So, whether you're aiming to place high in the marathon or just want to beat your personal records, add a competitive element to your workouts to boost your motivation. You can also share your milestones on social media, and some of your friends may even join you for a friendly competition.

8. Take Time To Rest — rest is progress in disguise

We live in a go-go-go era. But our bodies need rest to repair the muscles that have been broken down during exercise. So, while it’s important to stick to your workout regime on a regular basis, it is equally important to allow yourself at least a day’s rest to recover and come back stronger.
 

9. Put It On Paper — write your goals, see your growth

Hoping to lose weight? Boost your energy? Sleep better? Manage a chronic condition? Write down your goals! Seeing the benefits of regular exercise and writing down your goals can help you stay motivated by reminding you why you’re doing it.

 

You can also have an exercise journal where you note down what you do in every exercise, the duration you exercise, and how you feel afterwards. By writing down your efforts and observing the changes, you will realise your objectives and remind yourself that you are making progress.

 

Other than journaling, you can also use fitness trackers to track your progress.
 

10. Include Physical Activity In Your Daily Routine — sneak in fitness all day long.

If it's hard to find time to exercise, don't start making excuses. Plan your workouts as you would any other important activity; you just need to prioritise your own fitness.

 

You can also engage in physical activity throughout the day by taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Take a walk during a break from work. Pedal the stationary bike or do jumping jacks while watching TV at night. Every little step counts.

Dietitian’s Recommendation

Weight loss is one of the most common and compelling reasons people start and continue to workout, but there are many other reasons why you should make exercise a habit. A 30-minute run, a highly intense HIIT workout, or an invigorating kickboxing class will do wonders for your body and mind, but you also need to take care of your diet by eating healthy and nutritious food every day.

One of the common reasons people lose motivation to exercise is that they don't set themselves up for success with their chosen goals.
