Hi fitness community! I've been working out for already a month now,i know i need to exert extra effort, it's just really hard for me to push myself to do more. There are times when i feel so lazy to work out, is there anything you guys do to be motivated?Please help me!
Hey Helena, I can't really help you on the 'motivation' part because it really comes from within. But when working out you can try counting down (10 down to 1) reps instead of counting up (1 up to 10), this works for me 'coz it's more likely for me to push the last one than if I counted from 1-10.

It would be great if you'll have a buddy to work out with, someone who will motivate you on times you just don't feel like doing it. Hopefully you'll get the hang of it!

I also agree with you. Having someone or a group of friends with can be your motivation. And also, think of a time you really want to workout so that you will really see the results of what you've done for the past weeks or months.

By the way, whenever I feel lazy working out, I always tell myself that if don't work-out right now I'll end up as a fat pig (funny but, true)...

Motivation... How 'bout if you try posting the picture of Jessica Alba on your wall as a role model or as a source of inspiration...

Somebody once told me that.."There is nothing more priceless then the feeling you get after a good workout". That sentence really drove me and inspired me to keep at it, that was 3 years ago. I couldn't imagine my fitness program not being a huge part of my weekly routine and life..
Once you start seeing results you will be fired up to keep it up, but make sure your diet is as good as your training program or your results will be slow to surface or will not surface due to it being buried below a thick layer of fatty tissue ;)
Good luck!

What motivates me is the results. I do super setting when I workout so reps is not something I care about. All my exercises are performed until muscle failure..
