Top Tips | For staying Motivated

I am going to give you some of my top tips to staying motivated on your Health and Fitness journey, whether you are just starting out or well into it already. Now and then you may become bored, frustrated if results aren't happening as quickly as you would like, not enjoying exercise or have simply lost your mojo, these factors can really affect your motivation.

TIP 1

Set Goals.

This is key. Be specific! You have to have something to work towards whether that be a goal you want to reach in 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years. Write it down and keep looking over it, to keep it at the front of your mind. Each time you feel like skipping your workout or reaching into the biscuit tin think about those goals and hopefully they will make you reconsider your actions.

TIP 2

Change things up!

We are creatures of habit so you may find yourself heading to the same machine, picking up the same dumbbells or doing the same class week in week out. If you are not challenging yourself and keeping things fresh your progress can slow down leaving you frustrated with lack of results. The internet is your best friend, you will find hundreds of workouts that you can try at home or in the gym or try out a new class you may find you really enjoy it.

TIP 3

Join Forces.

Grab a friend, partner or even your neighbour to workout with and make it a date. You will help to motivate each other and by having something down in the diary you will be less likely to cancel letting the other person down.

TIP 4

Perfect Playlist.

For me a good music playlist for my workouts is essential! You want music that is really going to get you hyped and help push you through those last few burpees. You don't want to have to keep stopping and starting to skip past those ballads, so make a playlist.

I hope these simple tips will help you on your journey to becoming a happier, healthier, better version of yourself. If you have any questions or would like advice please send me a message via Instagram (emma_f1tness) or Facebook I would be happy to help.
