Motivation to exercise

Hi, @mayka123! It depends on the person. What motivates me is my age. I'm not getting any younger. I'm already 43 and I fear a lot about my health. I have so many illnesses and I'm already tired of undergoing any lab tests. It's soooooo tiring. Though it's covered by health insurance, I can no longer bear going to the hospital every now and then to undergo such lab tests. It's so stressful. I do brisk walking every morning after work. It helps. I'm not discouraged to do it everyday though all my office mates are riding in vehicles and they see me walking. I think they find me weird but it's okay. This is my life not theirs.

Hello there Mayka123. Great question. MUSIC. It is a wonderful motivator and move maker. Music that makes you want to get up and dance is helpful. There is just something about a catchy beat and upbeat tunes that give one a reason and permission to get up and move his or her body. You can even try an exercise video, attend exercise group sessions if it helps.

im never a fan of working out but now that i had to due to my leg injury, i set goals for my self within a week. so far im quiet happy with the results. you can try inviting your friends, maybe that will work. or make a bet against yourself..

Health concerns most probably. You'll definitely push yourself to exercise when it's already you're health which is at risk.

It motivates you when we see ourselves gaining weight.

I hate working out, really hate it, it's boring. And yet whenever i look at my belly i think i have to work out. I'm kinda shy so i dont like running on the street and i hate the idea of going to the gym, so what i usually do is, i set my laptop with some music i like or some tv show running and i work out for a bit. I like to change exercises a lot so it doesn't get too boring, jump the rope is great exercise and you can jump kinda to the sound of music. Actually dancing also a great exercise, if someone's there i don't do it, but if i'm alone i dance like i'm crazy and it's a lot of fun and you can work mostly every part of your body.

Hey Mayka123, Motivation, that what lacks in most of us for exercise, there are certain things that you can look forward for motivating yourself . 1) Music - Best motivator, make a nice play list that will pump up your workout schedule . 2) Find a nice GYM . 3) Gym buddy, one of the best motivator . 4) Any friend or colleague of your who is working out and has got results . Last but not the list will power that motivates you . Thanks

The motivation can be as simple as wanting to feel BETTER. There is no magic solution here, it is all up to you.

It's you, your health that is your motivation. Don't think other things that motivates you because we're not getting any younger and you need to be healthy, so exercise.
