Let's get MOTIVATED!
Let’s GET MOTIVATED!
Set A Goal • Sign up for a race or an event. Training for a specific event can help you be more purposeful and less likely to miss a workout. • Make your goal public or share with family/friends. By sharing your goals with others, you can gain support to help you succeed.
• Track your progress. Seeing improvements, whether it’s running further/faster, performing more reps or even fitting into an old pair of jeans, can help keep your determination alive.
Find Your tribe • Joining like-minded individuals can help you be more responsible to show up and workout. *BONUS: You get a little social time as well.
Ways to Connect: • Find a local running club • Ask a friend to join you at the gym • If you prefer to workout alone, find an online group where you can connect virtually with others.
Try Something New • Do you run? Shake it up! Hit the trails or do intervals. • Tr y a new class - yoga, kickboxing, H.I.I.T. or spinning. Nervous to go alone? Invite a friend!
• Workouts feeling stale? Hire a personal trainer to show you some new moves. • Update your workout playlist with a few new heart-pumping tunes!
Buy new gear • Investing in new equipment, shoes or other workout gear can give you a little extra motivation.
• Studies suggest that the clothing a person wears can trigger mental changes that positively affect their performance.
• Wearing flattering and fun clothes or shoes can increase your confidence and therefore your overall performance. This will help you get the most out of your workout!
Prepare For Success • Schedule time to exercise just like any other appointment on your daily agenda. • Making a commitment to attend the gym can help keep you on track. The night before, gather your workout gear so you are ready to go. Schedule or sign up for a class the day before, if you are able. • Pack a water bottle and snack. You will need to stay hydrated and eat a healthy snack after your workout! • If you sleep through your alarm…forgive yourself! Tomorrow is a new day!
