I have been really getting back into exercising lately! I sort of fell
off the fitness bandwagon when I started Uni as everything was so
overwhelming and I was trying to figure out how to juggle homework,
blogging, YouTube and socializing not even thinking about exercising!
It's not that I dislike exercising either, I actually really enjoy the
feeling after an intense workout, it was just about finding the time and
staying motivated. So I thought, since I'm pretty sure that a lot of
other girls probably deal with the same issues, I'm writing about my
tips for finding time to exercise and staying motivated.
1. YOU HAVE THE TIME
Think about it this way, a one hour workout is such a small portion out
of the 24 hours you have a day. Granted that you probably sleep for at
least seven of those 24 hours...but still, it's a really short period of
time that you can squeeze into your day.
2. SET GOALS
If you aim for something and have a vision in mind of what you want to
achieve then you're more likely to work harder to reach your goal! Say
you want to loose 2kg next month, you are definitely going to work at it
to make sure that you reach that goal otherwise you know that you will
disappoint yourself. It has definitely worked for me in the past and
even if you don't actually reach that goal, it drives you to work even
harder towards the next goal you have.
3. HAVE FUN
If you hate running then don't force yourself to go on a treadmill. If
you're scared of the water then obviously don't force yourself to swim!
Fitness it supposed to be fun and make life more enjoyable not make you
depressed or scare the crap out of you. It seems obvious but just engage
in in the physical activities which you enjoy, even if that means
giving your dogs a walk or doing some sit ups, everything counts!
4. GET USED TO IT
Make it second nature where it's instinctive to exercise everyday! By
including physical activity as part of your everyday routine, it will
become strange not to exercise, like a healthy habit. I admit, I am
still working on this one, I honestly don't just instinctively start
working out YET but it will happen..one day...hopefully!
Those are my tips for finding time to exercise and keeping motivated! I hope you found this helpful!
