How do you stay motivated?

from my home

Ugh. I wish I had a treadmill. Try watching a good TV show while your on it, and hopefully you'll become distracted by it and forget your even working out.

Keeping motivated is essential and essentially difficult to manage. The key is usually to ge at least 2 other workout buddies so that at least two of you will normally show up at the gym together to workout. Comparing and contrasting your progress with that of your friends keeps you motivated to keep on working out.

well, listening my favourite music can make me stay motivated in my daily routines and opening my favourite site as like mylot? :P but thank you to share your tips with us to be motivated in your days

I do my physical exercise to maintain my healthy mind and my body motivated.I dont think about my job is so hard for me,I make this very interesting to my life,I can buy what I need because of my job,I really do a motivation to my daily life.

it is just a simple thnk for me to make me stay motivated. i will make my self refreshing for a momment and then i will workout again

your motivation is better health and you have to want this pretty bad to keep the motivation try cutting back to a half hour a day and do different exercises like one day you work the abs and biceps another day you work the hams and gltial muscles you have to mix it up loosing weight is apprantly very hard to do I got upto 275 pounds once and I was sick of it I wanted my life back so I started stretching and I realized that if I put on my favorite cd and done various exercises until it was done I didn't realize the pounds were coming off I got divorced ended up on foot and got all the way down to 165 pounds married again I weigh 211 pounds I say in my case its men and then you see something you want like an out fit buy it in a size you would like to be and work for it you can do it if you need someone to talk to I am here for you.

Always have a goal in your life to achieve, and u should have a positive mind, never ever feel that u cann't do it, have a hope that nothing is impossible by me, and then see u could do all the activities with ease.I think its the starting trouble with u other wise everything look great in your side. have the will that nothing can stop u.

read about work out books, try to work out with a friend so that you will not get bored... since you have someone to talk to when you are working out... working out alone is boring... you need to find a regular gym buddy

Good for you on your new work out problem. At this point in my life, I am unable to get into a good work out program because of my physical condition. I do stretching and muscle toning as I can. My need to stay motivated is mostly just to keep going, to get up everyday and take care of my family. Sometimes I can't get up and I just have to keep my mind busy. I pray, I read, I watch TV. I used to love to cook but now it tires me. When I am able I do some light house cleaning. My motivation comes from the fact that God has gifted me with people who love and support me emotionslly. God always comes through when we are in need of food or finances. My motivation comes from knowing God loves me and from reading His word and praising him at every opportunity.

I suggest finding an exercise routine that you actually like, maybe a dance routine, step arobics, running, jogging, walking, Yoga, Pilates, Turbo Jam, etc. If you dont like the treadmill, try to do something equivalent....if you absolutely have to do the treadmill, then play music, watch tv, or listen to a book on tape or cd. I think that it will motivate you more because you may look forward to it....the benefits will make you happier the more you stick with it, but be routine as you are and keep doing whatever exercise you choose at the same time each day, eventually if you find a niche with something you like, you'll want to do it more and more.

It is very difficult to get motived at first because adding in excercise is changing your routine. Even though you say that you don't have one, chances are you do have one. I would suggest trying to go four days a week rather then six. Jumping in and working out six days a week will burn you out fast. That is why it feels like it is getting harder to you. Cut back for a little while but make sure that you do something. You can even try cutting back on the time until you get used to it. Sometimes doing less is better at first. Also if there is any way that you can chage up your workout at least one day per week. Doing the same exact routine can get tedious and boring after a while. If you are only running on the treadmill trying going out for a run. If you are lifting, change up the exercises or the order of the exercises. Eventually you will feel more motivaed instead of tired when you start your workout. In time you will be able to wor out for an hour or longer, but give you body a chance to get used to it first. Hope that helps.

i have always wanted to stay motivated because i feel that being so will get me where i want to be, it will give me more in the end if i work hard for everything i want now.

I am using a software to track my developments in my work out. It monitors my nutrition intake, my workout program and the changes or development in my body. The good thing about this is there are already sets of program exercise you can follow and plan food for the week. it is a good software for those who are working out

i dont work out,i am very sorry about it...but anyway i am happy the way i am and i am in good shape..if you gotn porblems with your health or body you got to work out...everyday maybe less time but you got to do it for yourself...i wish you all the best...and one advise...brings your friend to work out together...in company its better to work out and you get competitive:)

invision what your goal is, and when you feel yourself slacking,picture the end result and focus on that

Well I think you must have a sense purpose and commitment.I see you have given working out as a high priority and that is indeed the best way to get started ... During your workout be aware of your dislike...let it pass by.Doesn't matter if 5 mins look like an hour just continue. To remain motivated; challenge yourself; 10 mins is what u spent today make sure u continue with it for a week or so .Later push your limits try for 15 minutes ... In the whole process be mindful of what u feel, how it feels, how it affects u. Observe your 'self'. I know it hard and may sound un-realistic ..but remember your priority to keep in shape...

to keep motivated, put some picture like jacky chang or bruce lee. or you can't put my little friend here in you gym.he is been working out hard. he will company you:

What job u doing ?? Im so enjoy my work as a designer cause everyday will faced with different design even i have to work about 8 hours aday. I feel like time very fast gone when i an so concentrate in creating customer artwork. But many ppl have many interest. I think u should find ur own interest work so u wont feel hard with it.

daily work is always boring if we are already familiar within it... If we can't find chanllenge or excitement from work, I think it is hard to stay motivated.. but in order earn some money fro living, we have to work and endure boring things.
