If you recall, we mentioned early on in this program that the two main reasons people typically fail are: starting out with the wrong information and lack of motivation. Here are some tips to rev up your motivation.
1.
Get a workout buddy or partner for accountability. Having a partner might be just the encouragement and push you need to stick with it!
2.
Collect pictures that motivate you and put them where you will see them daily. Consider taking it a step further and creating an inspiration board for those pictures with motivational quotes that you can put up for daily inspiration.
3.
Keeping a journal is really great for tracking progress and for staying focused on your goals from day to day. A training journal is not only useful for marking off your exercises as you do them, but you can look back at them to see how far you’ve come. This may help motivate you on the tough days. A food journal is equally as helpful for tracking your nutrition progress.
4.
Measuring your progress will help keep you motivated. You can measure your progress in several ways. You can use a measuring tape to keep track of chest, waist, hip, legs and arms measurements. You can use a scale to track your weight. You can take weekly photos of yourself to compare. The important thing is to give yourself feedback on how you’re doing.
5.
Many times when someone messes up on a diet or program, they will have the mentality that the entire program is blown. The thought goes something like this, “Well, I just messed up, so I might as well eat whatever I want and start over next week.” Keep in mind that your program is about progress, not perfection. You want to maintain a diet and program that can become lifestyle. Don’t dwell on the past. Just get right back on track and keep going.
6.
It is important that you not only set realistic goals for yourself, but that you also set a specific target date in which you want to have it accomplished. “I want to lose 30 pounds this year” is not specific enough. Try something like, “By June 30, I am going to lose 15 pounds and fit into my old jeans.” Pull out your training journal and keep marking off the days you work out, write down what you eat, and keep visualizing your goals.
