Five Tips to Motivate Yourself at the Gym

© Caley Vanular

Physical activity has many benefits, from heart health to sleep quality to brain function but knowing how good it is for you doesn’t often serve as motivation in itself.

If you have trouble getting yourself into a routine with the gym, read on for a few tried and true tips to motivate yourself for the gym.

 

Dress For Success

Dressing for the gym or any task can help fuel your ambition to complete it. If you’re ready for the gym, you are far more likely to go. If you don’t like your gym gear or it doesn’t fit well, this can hinder your motivation to go. Treat yourself to some new gym gear. The Gym King has a vast range of gym wear, including men’s twin sets. The right outfit can increase your confidence which helps to motivate yourself and may even increase the efficacy of your workouts.

 

Have a Gym Buddy

Committing to a friend means that there is someone to hold you accountable. For example, develop a workout schedule with a friend. When someone is relying on you, it makes you far less likely to blow it off.

Going with somebody else can also make the experience more fun, and you can encourage each other.

 

Make a Workout Plan

What are your ultimate goals? What do you want to achieve from your gym sessions? When you do not have something to work towards, skipping a gym visit doesn’t seem that bad. After the initial easing in period, decide your objective; it could be losing weight, building muscle, increasing stamina or a mixture. Once you have this in mind, determine what will help you achieve this and work towards your goal. Recording your workout and progress can help maintain your motivation as it acts as an encouragement to pursue your goal.

 

Change Your Routine

Change your workout regime regularly to keep things interesting. If you are a creature of habit, repeating the same things constantly can become monotonous and boring – boredom is the biggest killer of motivation. Instead, mix up the order or add in alternatives.

motivate yourself for a workout

If your body gets too used to a workout, it lessens its effectiveness as it is no longer challenging. If you find that your motivation is result dependent, then this is especially important for you.

 

Have a Gym Playlist

Listening to music while training is scientifically proven to increase drive and motivation. Create a playlist that you exclusively listen to whilst working out. What music do you like? Is there a type of music that gets you pumped up and makes you feel more motivated? Utilise these songs in your playlist. Try to vary the beat length, though, as your playlist should change for the same reason your workout regime changes.

 

To Sum Up

Finding the motivation to push yourself and keep going at the gym can be incredibly difficult once the initial enthusiasm has worn off. It is all about finding a balance. It can be a mental and a physical experience to try and find the ambition and perseverance needed to keep at it. Go to the gym for yourself and how it makes you feel, not for what other people think – that is one sure-fire way to motivate yourself.

Did you know that alcohol and cigarettes are amongst our skin’s biggest enemies? Drinking and smoking cause wrinkled and saggy skin, especially on your face. 

Cigarettes contain chemicals that irritate the skin and block your skin cells from getting sufficient nutrients and oxygen, making them die faster.

Your skin then ages more quickly and loses its glow. Drinking alcohol is a culprit for dry skin because it deprives your skin of water and nutrients. Dry skin is also more susceptible to infection and sun damage.

Read today's article (link in bio) for nine great tips on how to keep your skin healthy.
