Finding the Motivation to workout


What started off as a ‘chilly’ morning quickly turned into a hot and sweaty workout experience. Any drop in temperature is out done by the sweat we work up while working out.

I’m going to be honest — I almost talked myself out of getting up out of bed this AM. I am sad and just not in the mood — but this is commitment is too in grained in me so I quickly went thru my head what the workout was and said — nope — get your ass up and go. Now I’m done and I feel proud and accomplished — so it’s worth it.

If you aren’t feeling it you need to create the drive and motivation to workout — whether that means you think about those jeans you want to fit into, the way you feel post workout, the long term benefits you are getting from it — whatever you need to do – do it.   What was the driving force that started you out on your journey — As I have said before — if you let that ‘sleep monster’ talk to you and try to get you to skip your early AM workout – that’s when you need to bring up all of those reasons you are living a healthy and fit life.
