Motivation can be a fluctuating force.
While some individuals maintain a steady drive, most people experience varying levels of motivation day by day.
This variation is perfectly normal. To see progress, what you truly need is a clear purpose and vision to align with.
In fact, more than half the time I find myself heading to the gym, I’m not particularly enthusiastic, and my energy levels might lag.
So, how do I manage to hit the gym an average of six days each week?
Here are a few strategies I’d like to share with you.
Section 1.1: Overriding Your Emotions
Listening to your emotions can hinder your progress toward your goals.
In my case, I disregard my feelings about 99% of the time when it comes to exercising. It’s crucial to reach a point where you can overlook those unproductive thoughts and feelings.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Power of Showing Up
99% of the time, it’s essential to simply show up.
Getting dressed, putting on your workout shoes, consuming a nutritious pre-workout meal, and heading to the gym or stepping outside are all vital actions that help you commit to yourself.
Individuals who regularly engage in physical activity demonstrate that they care for, value, and respect themselves.
Not every workout will be extraordinary.
However, every session contributes to making you mentally and physically tougher because consistency requires discipline. Consistency fosters strength. Consistency shapes character. Consistency yields results. Consistency distinguishes the ordinary from the exceptional.
Section 1.2: Energizing Your Workout
When my energy is low, I sprint to the gym to elevate my motivation. I’m here. I’ve arrived. Let’s dive in.
It’s about faking that energy and investing everything into the moment before stepping through those doors.
Chapter 2: Reaffirming Your Purpose
The first video provides a high-energy workout with popular music to keep you motivated and engaged throughout a 45-minute session.
The second video serves as a beginner's guide to the gym, outlining essential DO's and DON'Ts to help you navigate your fitness journey effectively.
When you consider your purpose for going to the gym, looking good becomes just a perk. I’ve committed to this lifestyle for over twenty years because I care for, respect, and value my body. It’s a form of self-love that I simply cannot give up.
When you respect and cherish your body, skipping workouts isn’t an option.
When you hold yourself in high regard, prioritizing your health is paramount.
When you honor your body, you nourish it properly.
When you value your body, discipline becomes your choice.
If you find it challenging to get to the gym, maintain an active lifestyle, or eat healthily, it may indicate a lack of self-care.
Today is the perfect opportunity to change that.
Run into the gym.
Sprint to your bike.
Dash to your fitness class.
Hustle to your walking route.
Rush to prepare a nutritious meal for yourself.
Cultivate a sense of urgency regarding your health, because if you don’t, no one else will, and your body might give out on you sooner than expected.
