Here is a quick read – Ten top tips to boost your motivation to exercise and stay on track.

  1. When you really don’t feel like going to the gym, or are in a bad mood and are close to throwing in the towel make a deal with yourself to do 10 minutes exercise – and you will probably end up completing a full workout after the initial buzz spurs you on – and afterwards you will feel GREAT.
  2. If you are hesitating then simply put on your gym clothes. Once they are on, you’re one step closer to using them.
  3. Distract yourself 0 and distraction will do – reading a magazine, chatting to a friend, listening to music or watching tv – research suggests that most people do more when they are focused on something other than just the exercise itself – to focus and think about the exercise you are doing can bore you and it can become monotonous.
  4. Bring a friend  – working out with someone gives you a commitment to keep – you are obliged to turn up and you can compete against each other support each other and spur each other on – you will work harder and have more fun.
  5. Listen to to uplifting music before and during your exercise – it has been proven to make you run faster / train harder, and to give you a more intense focus and keep you absorbed in your workout.
  6. Monitor your progress – people who wore pedometers over a twelve week period ended up walking an extra 1,000 steps daily than people who didn’t in a recent research study. Record your weight loss, your waist size, the amount of time you spend on a treadmill – anything like this will spur you on to beat your record and push yourself further.
  7. Only concentrate on the moment – don’t think about how much more you need to do – only consider the present moment and soon you will be finishing your workout before you know it.
  8. Visualise yourself exercising and feeling good. See yourself on the home stretch of a run – imagine how good you feel, see yourself lifting heavier weights, visualize completing a heavy workout and how empowered you feel – this is positive thinking and it sets you on the path to complete these visions.
  9. Bribe yourself  – set yourself rewards for achieving stages along the way – obviously rewards which won’t hinder your exercise routines tho :)
  10. Use subliminal messages – here’s the advert – this article was brought to you by Real Subliminal – subliminal messages won’t ensure your effortless weight loss, but they can help you to stick to your exercfise routine and keep you motivated – view our subliminal exercise motivation album for more information.
