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.

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.

Bring Your Gym Clothes to Work

Make Your Workouts Fun

Plateauing is one of the downs of weight loss. It can be because of sleep, hormones, or many other reasons, but this can really be unmotivating. For some people, they need to do more exercise. That sounds scary, but the best thing to do is to pick an activity that interests and excites you and focus on the fun parts.

Focus on Non Scale Victories

Its not all about the amount you lose each week, you can focus on so many more things for motivation. Like if your clothes feel looser, you are mindfully eating, are you able to run for 3 minutes longer. All of these reasons are enough to keep pushing through and reaching your goals.

Group Up

Working out with a partner is a great motivator. You’re a lot less likely to hit snooze when you have someone waiting for you to take that dawn run together. However, even just having support in the form a friend or family member who will encourage you means you’ll have more incentives to keep up with your training, to give them and you a lot to be proud of.

A bit of friendly competition can also be a big boost to your drive to exercise. A report from the University of Pennsylvania Annenberg School for Communication has shown that healthy social competition and support on social media platforms motivates people to work out more often and longer.

So, even if the full-on team sports experience is not for you, you can use social media to find a group with similar fitness interests and goals that align with yours. Getting virtual high-fives for attending your weekly fitness session can be almost as good as the real thing when it comes to spurring you on to meet your exercise goals.

Change Your Perspective

If your exercise focus is entirely on the mirror or the scale, it makes it easy to give up. A few weeks where the scale doesn’t drop and many will throw up their hands in defeat trade their hand weights for a milkshake.

Instead, try setting small goals that are more about what your body can do rather than what it looks like. Instead of “I want Michelle Pfieffer arms,” try “I want to be able to move up to lifting 20-pound free weights by the end of next month.”

Keep a fitness journal to write down your goals and track your progress; having a concrete way to see your progress can motivate you to keep moving forward.
