There is no better feeling than finishing a workout. You know you worked hard, you feel the sweat on your clothes, and you know the results are going to show. The hard part is actually getting to the gym after work. You are at the end of a busy day and you just want to go home and watch some Netflix. Motivation is the key to pushing through and actually making that gym class you had planned on going to. Here are some tips to get you to the gym after work.

Write Down Your Goals

Make sure to write down your goal on a piece of paper and place it where you are going to see it all day. If you want to run a little faster, lift some more weights, or hold a yoga position for longer, write this down on a post-it note and then when you see it at the end of the day it will remind you to keep committing to that goal and get to the gym.

All goals of 2019 has been accomplished and not only they are being completed but they are achieved with some good quality which was beyond my own expectations 8-| !!! Long distance running was always my weakness and I always wanted to run and running a marathon was my dream since early teenage 8-| !!! When I shared this dream with others then people used to tell me that I could never run a marathon and then when I finally ran a marathon, they told me a marathon should be run just once every three months, they told me you did not beat the elite runners, then they told me that I cannot run without hydration, and the list goes on and on 8-| !!! The most funniest one was that running 400km/month and 600km/month can change your gender 8-| !!! – I want to thank everyone who has supported me in my running and specially my wife who has supported my every dream, wish, goal, and target 8-| !!! – – – – – #mrhappy #universeofmrhappy #2019goals #goalsachieved #targetsaccomplished #ambitious #ambitiousrecords #visions #fitnesstarget #runninggoals #swimgoals #ultragoals #instagoals #goalsaccomplished #missionimpossible #missionsuccess #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #runningtarget #writtengoals #handwritten #handwrittengoals

Set a Reminder

Put a reminder on your phone and make sure it goes off at the time you are slowly pulling out of your gym commitment. If that’s an hour before your workday finishes then set it for then. You will see the reminder and it will push you to get to that class.

Remember Snacks

Make sure to pack a pre-gym snack in your work bag so you won’t be hungry for the gym. Eat the snack 45 minutes before you head to the gym to give you energy for your workout.

Bring Your Gym Clothes to Work

Having your gym clothes with you means you are more likely to go to the gym. You should also change before you leave work so you stay motivated, up until the end of your day, to head to the gym.
