Ep 39: When You’re Not Motivated

Kian — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:00:37 +0000

Episode 39: When You're Not Motivated, Key Motivational Strategies For When Fitness Sucks

We've all been, or will soon be there. You wake up early for your usual morning workout and, ugh, you just don't feel like getting up. So you hit the snooze, missing your workout. This may or may not become a habit, but we've found that pushing through your motivational slumps will be much more powerful for you in the end. Motivation is so huge in the fitness industry, we've given you some tips to help.

[podcast format="video"]http://tfapodcasts.s3.amazonaws.com/October/Tuesday1103.m4a[/podcast]

One of my, Kian, accountability clients and I were talking about when everything fails you get back up. She'd not hit her weight loss goal for the week and was kind of bummed out, so we talked about what might be wrong with her workouts, diet, whatever. Nothing really came up.

Sometimes your body will buck everything you throw at it, and that is a fact you can take to the bank. There are going to be times where how you measure your success with fitness is going to fail, and you are going to have to find a deep passion to continue. It might be that the way you measure your success sucks, and that's a major issue for a lot of people.

The thing is that motivation with fitness is hard. It's called a workout for a reason. We can throw catchy quotes around all day, but it comes down to your commitment level. No one is ever going to make you pick up a weight and move it around. Ever. You can hire a trainer, you can workout with a friend or a team, but when it comes down to it you are the only one who can change your mind about anything.

Stick to your conscience, don't let anyone keep it for you.

When you let other people decide how you're going to react you've lost the battle. That's why only 1 in every 1000 people will succeed with a fitness goal. They put their trust in a diet, or in the treadmill, or with a trainer. That's all bullshit if you don't dig deep and make it happened for yourself.

Stay strong
