Can't stick to a workout routine? Try this..

in #fitness6 years ago

Hey what's up everyone?

In today's post I want to suggest a little thing that could make all the difference with your fitness & health goals.
If you are having a hard time sticking to a workout routine or routinely getting enough physical activity I have a tip for you:

PLAN the workout / activity with a friend or a group at a specific time on a specific day and don't allow yourself to cancel the date for any reasons other than serious things.
This way, you're way more likely to show up because you will not only let yourself down, but also other people and their trust in you when you don't show up.

Personal example: I always organize group workouts on Friday 6-7pm for friends and anyone that is interested in attending in Vienna. If I don't create an facebook event before and invite them for the workout, it's not happening and some people miss their weekly dosis fitness. Because I don't want to let people down and continuing to grow our workouts I feel obligated to show up every Friday from 6-7 no matter what my motivation levels are.

I feel great after every workout, walk home with a smile and sure enough, I go home already thinking about the next Friday and how great it's going to be again.
Do i always feel motivated to schedule the event and organize it? No, but that doesn't matter because it's important to me and i don't want to let other people down :)

Anyways, I hope this helps.
Keep calm and schedule your workouts with friends,

This is so true!

I HATE letting others down (which is why I walk the dogs every day NO MATTER WHAT). But me? I'm pretty good at letting me down. 😕

I run into another problem here: No gyms. I'm about an hour away from the nearest one.

Yes, I live in the most beautiful place in the mountains. But with that comes the LACK of many a thing.

Hopefully, we'll be moving a little closer to things within a year. I've actually been staking out new towns and the one I have my eye on has a brand new $29 million community center... With all the equipment and classes a gal could ever dream for. 😍 And people! I think I need that people thing too.
