Motivation

How do you push yourself to work out? I’m having trouble talking myself into going to the gym and it’s really affecting me. Because my boyfriend asks me all the time if I want to go to the gym and I always end up making up an excuse not to go. I’ll say oh I have homework or I have to get something done.. And I hate it. I really just don’t feel like going. Like.. I want to go in my head but my body doesn’t want to get up and go. What can I do to stop this issue?

Answer #1

Have you actually been to the gym at all? If you havent been maybe you are a bit nervous about going because you are afraid of not knowing what to do. Once you go the first time you will want to go again. Excersising makes you feel good about yourself. It releases chemicals into your brain that make you feel happier and energised. Regular excersise also prevents many types of cancers and diseases and boosts your immune system so you don’t get sick as often. Focus on how if you go to the gym regularly, you will feel stronger, fitter and more confident. This will transfer across all aspects of your life and you will be glad that you did it. Sure it may be hard to bite the bullet and just go when you don’t really want to. But you only get out what you put in. If it were so easy everyone would be a fitness buff. Trust me, I know what I am talking about. I used to be fat and miserable but I changed my life around when I started excersising. I don’t know if you need to lose weight, but even if you don’t it is important to excersise to be healthy :)

Answer #2

you just need to really want to work out to make your self go to the gym… do what I did I put a picture on my wall and every morning when I wake up. I say “wow I need to hit that gym or else ima look even bigger!” hope that helped!
