Everyone that has ever endured an exercise regime for long enough to lose motivation will know just how hard it is to come back from that slump. It is almost impossible. You’ve “given up” once, so what is to stop you from giving up again? Well, the truth is, lots. There are lots of things you can do to stop you from losing motivation in the future and help you stay on track to reach whatever fitness goals you may have set yourself.
There is the buddy up system where your absence doesn’t just affect yourself. There is only washing your hair on gym days that will see you go hard or get ridiculed. Otherwise, you could try out group classes where you feel more accountable to show up or getting dressed into your running gear knowing that you will feel really bad if you get changed without going for a run. You could evenfind a gym near youthat offers far more than just a few running machines and some free weights, by which we mean a sauna, massage parlour, smoothie bar, jacuzzi and free kids club. However, you could just mimic what you do in every other area of your life and look to your smartphone for the answers.
That’s right. Your smartphone possesses all themotivation and encouragementyou need to get up and get fit. It doesn’t matter whether you previous fitness attempts petered out because of boredom, burning out or because there are not enough hours in the day; we’ve come up with a list of apps that will turn your smartphone into a personal trainer/nutritionist/motivator, and here they are:
- Runkeeper
- Zombies, Run!
- Nike Training Club
- Charity Miles
- Lose It!
It doesn’t matter what your goals are whether you are trying to lose weight, do more steps each day, get through a brutal morning workout or find the motivation to get back on the saddle after an injury you may find all the motivation you need is stored in your pocket. Now, how awesome is that? (That was rhetorical you know it’s awesome.)
