How to Make Time for Exercise when you lack motivation ✨

💛Make your goal SO small that it's very hard to fail. For example, pack a gym bag and tell yourself, all I'm going to do is walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes or do some stretches on a mat and then I can leave the gym. For those at home - try, I'm JUST going to do 15 jumping jacks (or crunches); or, I'm going to make a short playlist and dance in my kitchen for 10 minutes. Just do something so small and manageable each day to start a new routine. This way you don't feel like you fail. It will become a mini-habit and turn into a bigger habit. Start small and keep it simple!

🩵Often is it the huge stress of creating a complex workout program, the thought of an intense session, a long exhausting gym workout, or trying to figure out what exercises to do when you are lying on your mat at home....that makes us NOT make the time to workout. The decisions to do things are often the hardest part.
 

Other tips I suggest:

✨Find activities you like: Choose exercises you find fun or engaging, like dancing, swimming, tennis, or team sports.

✨Start small: Begin with short bursts of activity like a quick walk during your lunch break or a 10-minute workout at home.

✨Exercise with a buddy: Partnering with a friend can help you stay motivated and accountable.

✨Join a class: Look for fitness classes that align with your interests, like Zumba, yoga, or spin.

✨Track your progress: Use a fitness tracker or journal to monitor your workouts and see how far you've come.

✨Make it convenient: Keep workout gear readily available and choose activities you can do near home or work.

✨Visualize success: Imagine yourself achieving your fitness goals to boost motivation. 

✨Reward yourself: Celebrate milestones with small rewards to stay positive.
