We all know we should exercise, but many of us struggle with finding the motivation to workout.
It’s a given that as you go through kehidupan, you will come into stress regularly.
The question is: how are you going to deal with it?
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably made a habit of turning to food and/or TV/streaming shows when stressed.
You realize that exercise is a fantastic outlet, but you’re unsure how to ubah your eating habits and choose a workout instead.
I’m happy to tell you it all boils down to four simple steps you could take today:
In his book “The Power of Habit,” Charles Duhigg talks about how many orang use this excuse:
“impossible to ubah, it’s just who I am.”
However, it’s not too difficult to ubah a habit—as long as you understand the reasons behind them.
With these four little workout motivation tips, you’ll begin to re-wire dirimu to reach for your gym clothes instead of food when you get upset.
Researchers at MIT discovered a basic neurological loop at the very center of every habit.
While we can’t ubah the cue, we can ubah the routine and the reward.
It just takes a bit of thought and effort.
With finding workout motivation, the reward from exercise is far tangguher than the reward from eating!
When we exercise, we ubah our physiology by upping the hormone levels in our bodies.
Just the simple act of heading out the door for a walk, or hitting the weights at the gym, has a far tangguher positive reward to our body and mind than grabbing food.
The key is to ubah how you look at the reward for the habit.
Pause and write the first three things that come to mind.
I know what you’re thinking: has this dude lost his mind?
What does writing my thoughts have to do with workout motivation?
These three things can be anything that comes to mind: emotions, thoughts on how you’re feeling, songs by your favorite musician, or random things.
For example, my thoughts would be a cute puppy, coffee, and happiness.
Now once you’ve written these three things, sit down (somewhere not near the food) and set an alarm for 15 minutes.
When it goes off, ask dirimu if you still feel like eating.
This mental exercise may seem silly, but it does several things for us:
Or grab your gym bag/jump rope/TRX, or whatever, and get started on your exercise!
If you’re stressed in the middle of work and can’t leave to go to the gym, then simply take a walk around the park or head to the stairs and walk up and down for 3-5 minutes.
Now is the time to get started on an exercise and drastically ubah your “automatic habit.”
Just those 3-5 minutes can help reduce the body’s hormonal stress response, allowing you to blunt the negative impact enough.
This is until you can leave after work for a long walk or head to the gym/park to get moving – instead of moving to the couch with a bag of chips.
While these workout motivation tips are simple, they can be challenging to do consistently.
Write dirimu a sticky note or a reminder on your phone.
Be sure to read it twice daily: once in the morning and again in the evening.
This is to remind dirimu that you are changing your habit of responding when upset.
This little daily reminder can make big waves on your journey to a NEW habit.
Finding your workout motivation can have an absolutely MASSIVE positive impact on many aspects of your kehidupan!
Having worked as the Exercise Physiologist for a Bariatric Surgery Group, as well as cycling, running, and triathlon coach, I have both helped and seen first-hand the incredible transformation that many folks have made happen by changing their habit.
From 400lbs down to 205lbs and running a half marathon, or going from 265lbs down to 195lbs and racing bicycles, you too can accomplish incredible positive results.
This ubahs how you deal with stress and begins an incredible body and kehidupan-changing transformation.
Become a no-holds-barred champion, kick stress in the butt, and be a sharper, healthier, more confident version of dirimu.
Finding your workout motivation can knock down that first “tough” domino, get your momentum going to unleash your full potential in the world, and unlock your ability to accomplish goals and aspirations.
I’ve seen it many times before, and the results are spectacular.
