I'm Struggling to Workout
July 5, 2021
We all struggle at times to get up and get moving. How do we push past those times?
First things first: What is your why?
Ex: Personally, I do not entirely workout so my body looks a certain way. I do it for how it makes my body feel. When I do not workout or move my body I feel sad, lethargic, moody, gross, irritable, unconfident, I tend to overeat, and am not as motivated to do things.
My why is my mental health and happiness. When I do not want to workout or go for a walk I know that my mental health will suffer.
Write down what yours is (it could be a few things) and read over them when you are feeling unmotivated. You are doing this for you.
Here are a few other things to look at
+Make yourself a priority: You deserve happiness and to feel good. We all go through waves of how much time we have but you need to be your number one :)
+check your mental health: sadness is a huge component to fitness and motivation. Remember not moving you body will only make you feel worse. Talk to some a therapist preferably but anyone who will listen.
+go through the motions: you do not have to lift heavy and jump high to complete a workout. It's okay if all you do is walk through it. It's about completing it and working your way up.
+make a to do list and do NOT move on to the next item on your list until the first one is completed
+get enough sleep
+do something - even if it's just a short walk or stretch
+make a schedule and include your workouts into them
+POST in the DFit Facebook page as a way to hold yourself accountable. I LOVE to see it and I know others do as well <3
