We’ve all had bad days when we don’t feel like flexing a muscle. According to National Center for Health Statistics, over 60 percent Americans feel the need for exercise and know its benefits but won’t start doing it. The primary reason for excuses is the lack of self-motivation.
Listening to lectures on acquiring burning motivation won’t help here. You have to do something concrete and practical in order to succeed. Some points mentioned below will help you decrease the gap between wanting to do muscle building and actual muscle building.
Measure your BMI, blood pressure, fat deposit, sugar levels and every possible thing that you can measure easily. Now, do exercises for two weeks and have the measurement done by your doctor again. The difference in the improvement of your health will motivate you to fork further and get in shape.
Whenever you go to a gym, befriend a strict and unforgiving partner who works out regularly and compete with him. You’ll always have the fear that the guy you’re competing with will turn up, perform his workout and develop muscles faster. This psychological fear of being left behind will motivate you to stick to your workout schedule. If you perform exercises at home, you can challenge your next-door neighbor to compete with you.
Keep your favorite exercises at the end of the workout session. For example, if you hate doing pull ups, complete them first. This will keep you motivated until the end of the session.
Music is a great motivator. Get your favorite numbers on a CD and listen to them while you’re performing the workout. Research proves that people who listen to music during their exercise sessions tend to workout longer and harder compared to people who do not listen to music at all. If you aren’t into music probably audio-books can be another interesting thing to listen to. That way you are nurturing your reading habits while working out too.
There are many ways to apply stress on a particular part of your body. Do what you love to do. For example, if you want to exercise your leg muscles and you hate squats, you can try skipping, treadmill, running and other similar leg exercises. If you hate the word ‘exercise’ and anything that goes with it, you can try out sports. Go out there play basketball, tennis, soccer or any other game that interests you but ensure that you have some heavy physical activity during the day.
