Exercise motivation
I need it, I want it, I gotta have some motivation!!! Or as the Rolling Stones might say..."I can't get no, motivation!" 😆
A lot of days, especially now that it's winter here in the midwestern U.S., I really struggle with finding the motivation to get my butt up and moving. Move, sweat, pick up something heavy, repeat. This is what I know I should do, this is what I want to want to do, but this is what I'm struggling with.
So, with that in mind, what do you do to find your motivation? Following uplifting people online helps me, but not those young guys/girls who are uber fit and perky, ugh, that is not me, I'm nearly 50! I mean those with encouraging words, with stories, etc., those seem to help me.
Also, the biggest thing that helps me is routine. I am a creature of habit. If I can get into a set routine, five days a week, I do so much better with everything in my life. And going back to my high school and college sports days, I like to workout early in the morning, before life has had a chance to get in the way and derail me. Then I'm in a good mental, emotional and physical state for the whole day.
Lastly, exercise is not just about my physical health, exercise helps my mind and my emotions to be clear, even and as sharp as possible so that I can be the best version of me I can be.
Alright, that's all for now. I need to go sweat.
