Please keep watching this space as during the week i will be posting a personal message and ways that i found useful to get my self motivated. But until remember we have the power to either be postive about yourself or negtive if we choose the path of postive we will be found that the people around us and the life we are living is only bringing us true happyness.
Even though sometimes it hard to see we are beautiful every single one of us are, and on those days we belive our physical image is not what we want use that to motivate your self to doing that little bit extra to getting fit because in the long run the only person who can really let our beauty shine is us. we can not blame any one or belive that anyone eles will help us unless we will take the first step to helping ourselves.
Top 10 motivational tips for fitness
Top ways to keep your body exercising
healthily
It’s a fine line
that divides motivational success or failure when it comes to exercise. Here
are some top tips to keep you motivated for exercise so
nothing stands in your way.
Set goals for your fitness training
and be specific
The more specific the better. For example, aim to complete a running or
swimming event, or to lose two inches from your waist rather than just
generally aiming to get fit. You are more likely to fulfill your goals, if they
are specific. Be realistic with your goals but make them hard enough to be a
good challenge. Strike the balance – an unrealistic goal will kill motivation
but a goal that is too easily achieved will lead to boredom.
Get an exercise training plan
This will give you a daily goal, even if sometimes it is just telling you
to rest. You could obtain one from a personal trainer, or you could
download one from the realbuzz.com shop. A structured plan will increase your
motivation and your chances of success.
A huge de-motivator is overtraining
Don’t increase the duration or intensity of your training too quickly as
you will soon become uninterested or injure yourself. This is another reason to
get a proper training plan.
Adopt exercise role models
Find out what totally motivates you and then surround yourself with it!
It could be photos of inspiring sportspeople, men’s or women’s magazines, or
even your favourite celebrities butt – whatever works for you! Place
these things where you can see them every day.
Record your training progress
Keeping a training schedule, logbook or blog , of your gym visits,
running times, swimming pool visits, will keep you focused on the tasks in hand
and allow you to accurately check your progress. Many people regularly review
their logs to provide motivation for the future.
Cross-train
Nothing is more likely to keep you going than adding variety to your
fitness training. Look at what else you can do – running, walking, cycling,
rowing and swimming, all add to your training and improve flexibility, strength
and general fitness.
Go shopping for the right exercise
clothing
New workout wear can equal a new you, which can subsequently result in
improved motivation and performance. Get out to your sports or fitness
specialist and find out what’s new in-store. A new top, shorts or shoes could
inspire you to keep going. The better you look, the better you feel and you are
much more likely to stay motivated.
Make your exercise social
After a training session allow yourself a drink or dinner with
friends – you deserve it
Get a pedometer for daytime exercise
Current thinking suggests 10,000 steps per day are needed for good
health. Try walking whenever you can in your day – you will be further
motivated as you see the steps clock-up!
Visualise your training success
If you picture yourself achieving your goal and what it will feel like,
those images and feelings will help to motivate you to achieving them. Picture
yourself feeling amazing as you achieve your goal.
