When it comes to exercise, it’s so hard
to stay motivated. What can we do to stay motivated? It can be tough to
discipline yourself to exercise, especially when you have little or no interest
in it other then wanting to look good or needing it to stay healthy. You don’t
have to do it all the time or make it overly obstinately but by walking or
doing a certain activity 30 minute a day will do the trick.
The first thing to do in order for you to
be more motivated to exercise is to change your mindset. You will need to
mentally prepare yourself by acknowledging that you want to exercise. It is a
good idea to repeatedly say to yourself that “I want to excise.” Mental
commitment is very important. Next, you
probably will want to invest in an IPod or MP3 player. It is a great device for
exercising. It’s an entertainment that will keep you focused by blocking out
distractions in the outside world. Following, you will need to plan a routine.
Somewhere in your day, you will have to plan at least 30 minute to spare so you
can do your walk. I usually do my walk during my 15 minutes breaks because I’m
not doing anything during that time, why not walk. My two 15 minute breaks
equals out to 30 minute.
Lastly, put yourself in a position where
you can walk, either by going to work, school, or home. It doesn’t necessary
have to be by walking; you can very well bike too. Park your car further from
school, work, or home. The more often you do this the more easier it will
become as you get used to it. These are just some of my thoughts of how to
become more motivated, there are so many more that can be mention but if you
follow these easy steps I’m sure it will help you.
I have always tried to gain weight not lose it, but I think this is very relevant to most readers. I like how you have related your posts around your original blog topic. for some people it has been hard to do. thank you
ReplyDeleteThis essay is also good motivation. It is true somedays I don't get a 15 minute break due to being to busy, and some times not even a lunch break so I could walk. I have recently started to walk about three times per day, and it does make you feel better.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you have to mentally prepare yourself by saying I want and like to exercise. That is my biggest problem. Biking is a good way to exercise like you said. Before it was below forty degrees in the morning I would bike to school and it made a huge difference in my ab muscles. It just sucks that winter is coming and its harder to do. Great job mispellings and grammer errors are getting less and less!
ReplyDeleteI thought this had many good motivational points. I think I will even use a few for myself. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI agree it is very hard to be motivated to work out. im horrible when it comes to motivating myself to do so. This was a helpful essay thank you!
ReplyDeleteNIce job. Maybe tell of some of the struggles people have to stay motivated and any personal experience you have with it. Maybe give some numbers like the amount of calories that can be burned in a 20 minute walk. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteGood job. I definately know what you mean about it being hard to stay motivated. I will go a few months of going to the gym nonstop and then go six months not going at all. I like the tips you gave to get a little excercise through out the day.
ReplyDeleteYour right when you say you gotta change your mind set. I have to turn myself off and be automatic with it. Once you let yourself find one excuse you find yourself going weeks without exercise. Investing in equipment for me has always been a bad thing though. I feel Ive done good by buying a thousand dollar eliptical but i only use it for about a month or so in the dead of winter. Nice Essay!
