Stop dragging yourself to the gym. Boost your motivation with these 5 tips.
1. Go exercise together
Exercising together can be ideal. Make sure you choose a motivated sports buddy and that you bring out the best in each other.
2. Track your progress
Progress motivates. So keep track of your progress. For running, this is possible with Runkeeper, for example, but you can also invest in an activity tracker.
3. Reward yourself
It can help to reward yourself. Try to do that with the right things:a reward in the form of food probably won't help you achieve your goals. An episode of your favorite series or a new running tights are better rewards.
4. Go in the morning Even if you're not a morning person, it can help to start exercising right away in the morning. You will feel good that you have already finished your sport and you will have the evening free to do what you feel like.
5. Choose a sport you like
Have you been having a hard time dragging yourself to the gym lately? Maybe it's time to try a different sport. If you enjoy the sport you do, it's a lot easier to stay motivated.
