    Thumbs down Stay Motivated!!

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I've started to work out every day that I can. I don't have a routine down yet, but I usually start after I've had my coffee and something to eat. I use a website called Self, and it's also a magazine. I use a ton of things off of there, and I love a lot of them. Yesterday I started to mix it up a little. We didn't have internet so, I had to use the DVD's. It's was perfect! I did a walking DVD for about 20 minutes or so and then I used the personal trainer on Xbox kenict. But now that we have internet, I want to also use Self, but I can't find a way to stay motivated to do everything I want to.

    Anyone have any tips on how I can stay movtivated to work out longer??

    Thanks!

    Ugh. Staying motivated can be SO HARD! I am just getting out of a bit of a workout slump myself.

    I'd tell you to try changing up the same old, same old routine, but from your post it seems like you're already doing that, now to just keep working out for longer....

    Hmmmmmm... have you thought about breaking up the workout throughout the day? You may not have to force yourself to exercise for "X" amount of minutes, if you say ; do your walk 20 min walk in the morning, do something during "lunch" and then hit the Xbox after dinner for a bit. Blocks of different workouts throughout the day might help you work out longer, but not make it feel that way!

    It is definitely hard to stay motivated. My motivation? Knowing how hard it is to RESTART once you take a break. I hate it, I hate feeling like I'm a slug because I haven't ran in a few weeks and I hate the first week back at it after a break.

    So, I have to absolutely stay at it, whether I feel like it or not. I may have zero desire to do anything on a certain day but I force myself to do it because I know by now that 5 minutes in and I'll be fine and more than happy I drug my butt out the door when all is said and done.

    Just remember, that you and your health are so totally worth the 30-60 minutes a day. Once working out becomes part of you, not doing it will seem odd.
