Hi Lavs!
Working out. Yep, it
is something that we know truly important and needed by our body, but it is
just something that most people struggle with. The time, the effort, the
motivation just seem a little too much sometimes. For me, the biggest problem
lies in the motivation part. I often lose the motivation to exercise, so I don’t
find the time and make the effort. With that being said, these are the tips that
I find helpful to be more motivated to work out!
1) Have a work out
buddy
Having a buddy in
everything is always nice. In working out especially, having a buddy with the
same goal will help you to be reminded and not to slack off. If all of your
buddies are too busy, you can find a youtube persona that feels like a buddy to
you. I find Cassey Ho from blogilates is really friend-like and following her
exercise feels like exercising with your friend.
2) Buy a cute work out
outfit
By having a cute work
out outfit, you will be more excited to do some exercise. You can buy some cute
work out tank, yoga mat, and shoes.
Do check out
MatahariMall.com for a huge selection of work out outfit.
They have a lot of
brands and designs for you to choose from.
3) Take note of your
work out session
Do your best to take
note of the date and what kind of exercise you do. This will help you to stay
on track. How does taking note help you to stay on track?
For me personally, I
usually work out using Nintendo Wii, so the device will automatically keep
track of my exercise session. For the game that I play in Nintendo Wii, it also
tells me how many calories I burn in a session and how much progress I make. It
also tells me how long I’ve been going without exercising (this part is embarrassing,
but effective to let you feel guilty for not exercising for too long).
4) Find a form of
exercise that you truly enjoy
I find walking,
playing wii and doing core/glutes exercises while laying down and watching my TV shows are the ones I truly enjoy. I believe just there is at least one exercise that
you all can truly enjoy, you just need to try and test it out!
I am the kind of
person who like seeing result and I kind of had that mind set for exercise as
well. I thought if I don’t see result, I am doing something wrong. I wanted to
see my body slim down and be more toned after 1 week of constant exercise, but
my friends, let me tell you that is not the case for exercise. Exercise is more
on the progress. You got to enjoy it and know that it has all the benefits for
your body. I know one of them is exercise will make you happier!
