Now that we've gotten over the early morning blues the next question is,how do we maintain that momentum? Sorry, but there is no simple formula or answer to this question, but you do have to ask yourself- why did you start working out in the first place. For some, it was too loose a few extra pounds, others wanted to get toned and for most they just wanted to develop a healthier lifestyle. Well whatever your motivation is/was it should be the same one that keeps that momentum going.
Here's some tips to keep you focused-
Feel the burn out- not burn out:
When you feel that you are getting burned out on your workout routine, don't stop- switch up and change the type you are doing. Your body shouldn't suffer because your mind is bored-balance is the key. Your MIND-BODY-N-SOUL has to be in-sync.
Ready switch:
Variety in exercises keep the mind stimulated. I use an alternating workout session with my clients. Concentrated weight training, Core training, and a body motion regiment. It isolates the different muscle groups but gives your mind a new journey each time. Plus you burn more calories when you focus and not cheat.
No excuses:
Every now and then you just can't make it to the gym to do that solid workout that you have built for yourself. Not a problem- there are plenty of household items that can keep you going until you hit the gym again.
1. Arm curls, Shoulder press, Chest press, and Back:
Use full 24oz.or 36oz. juice or water bottle with handles (or lighter)
2. Abdominal Crunches and Oblique Twist: Broom or mop handles
can be used to work this section
