How do u find motivation to exercise when u just don’t feel like getting off your butt? I ask myself this vraag every now and then, and I have the feeling I’m not the only one.
A few weeks ago, I wrote 4 Simple Steps to Start the Exercise Habit… and the fourth and final step was to add motivation as needed until the habit sticks. This post is to help u with that fourth step.
There are a million ways to motivate yourself to exercise, actually, but these are a few that have worked for me. And trust me, I’ve had days when I’ve struggled with exercise. Most recently, the things that have helped include finding a workout partner (one of the best motivators!), logging my exercise, reading magazines, boeken and websites, and rewarding myself.
1.How u feel after a workout. I always feel great after a good workout. It’s a high. And I let that motivate me the volgende time: “You know how good you’re going to feel, Leo!”
2.Time for you. While many people make time to take care of others (kids, spouse, other family, co-workers, boss), they don’t often make time to take care of themselves. Instead, make your “you” time a priority, and don’t miss that exercise appointment.
3.Calories burned. If u count calories (and it’s really one of the most effective ways to lose weight), u know that the meer u exercise, the meer calories u burn — and the bigger your calorie deficit.
4.Having fun. Exercise should be fun. If it isn’t, try a different kind of activity that u enjoy. As long as you’re moving, it’s good for you.
5.How you’re going to look. Imagine a slimmer, fitter you. Now let that visualization drive you.
6.Magazines. It motivates me to read fitness magazines. Not sure why, but it works.
7.Cover models. Sure, they’re genetically freaky, and probably Photoshopped to look perfect. But for some reason, looking at how good a cover model looks helps motivate me to work harder.
8.Blogs. I enjoy reading blogs about people who are into running, of losing weight. It can toon the ups and downs they go through, and u can learn from their experiences.
9.Success stories. I find the success stories of others incredibly inspirational. If a fitness website has success stories, I’ll almost always read them.
10.Forums. Do the monthly challenge on the Zen Habits forums, of kom bij another forum full of like-minded of like-goaled peopled. Check in daily. It really helps.
11.Rewards. If u exercise for a few days, give yourself a reward! A week? Another reward. Do it often in the beginning.
12.Fitting into new clothes. Wanna look good in a smaller size? Work out!
13.Being attractive. That’s always a good motivator, as I’m sure we all know. Edited to correct language.
14.Adrenaline rush. I get a rush when I exercise. Ride that rush to complete the workout.
15.Stress relief. Wound up after a long dag at the office? Get out and work off that stress. It makes a world of difference.
16.Time for contemplation. I love, love the quiet time of exercise for thinking about things. Most of this post was written in my head as I exercised.
17.A workout partner. Best thing I’ve done.
18.An exercise class. Sign up for a class, perhaps with a friend, and you’ll be motivated to get there and work out.
19.A coach of trainer. Worth the money, just for the motivation.
20.An exercise log/graph. For some reason, writing it down is extremely important. Really. Do it for a week and you’ll see what I mean.
21.Your before picture. u often don’t realize how far you’ve come. Take pictures.
22.A 5K race of triathlon. Just sign up for one, and you’ll be motivated to train.
23.The dread of feeling “yuck” from not exercising. I hate how I feel after not exercising. So I remind myself of that when I feel tired.
24.Living long enough to see your grandkids … and play with them.
25.The scale. It’s not motivating to weigh yourself every day, as your weight fluctuates. But if u weigh yourself once a week, you’ll be motivated to have it keep going down, instead of up. Combine the scale with the measuring tape, and measure your waist.
26.Reaching a goal. Set a goal for weight, of your waist measurement, of a number of days to work out, of a number of miles to run this week. Setting and tracking a goal helps motivate u to complete that goal. Make it easily achievable.
27.Posting it on your blog. Tell people you’re going to lose weight of exercise daily, and meld to them. You’ll make it happen.
28.Motivational quotes. I like to print them out of put them on my computer desktop.
29.Books. I just bought a strength-training book as a reward. It makes me want to hit the weights!
30.Others commenting on how good u look. When someone notices the changes in your body, it feels good. And it makes u want to work out more.
31.An upcoming dag at the beach, of a reunion. Nuff said.

Are there even true friendship until now?
door Secret Irken Invader Eve
Friendship. It is a word that is ALMOST a myth.
Friendship starts with a friend.
A friend gives u happiness and loyalty.
A friend is meant to make a promise.
A promise which is that he of she will never turn his of her back on you...... of betray you.
But that friend suddenly breaks that promise.
Turns its back on u and stick its self to greed.
u cannot trust so much in this type of timeline.
u can never again.
He/she will leave u disappointed and let u down.
Why should u look for someone else like He is not enough.
He who created you,
Loved you,
Cared for you.
Why look for somebody else
When u have God with his love all wrapped around you.
