How To Get Moving, Stay Fit, And Stay Motivated


When it comes to staying or getting into good shape, motivation may be hard to come by. As the seasons change so do our motivation to stay in shape. Holiday schedules, cold winter days, and all those convenient gadgets that keep us from drudging up the motivation to get in shape or maintain a daily routine of exercise are definite culprits. But we should be totally aware of the effects that inactivity has on the body. 

Heart disease, stroke or diabetes is just some of the unhealthy affects of inactivity in the body. The good news is that studies show without discrepancy that these affects can be prevented or reversed; meaning that switching from a sedentary lifestyle to an active one can be extremely beneficial over time. Exercise alone, without change in diet, can greatly reduce the risks for these diseases even in small amounts. Doing what ever you can to increase your motivation to exercise is the first step to overcoming the lack of motivation to actually do it. Any of the arrays of methods to motivate you will be of great importance. Listening to music while running, simply finding out the exercises that you truly enjoy, setting particular times when exercise is the main focus of the day, all help you to stay motivated to stay in motion. Developing a habit or pattern for exercising is the best way to stay motivated; your body will become accustomed to working out heavy at a certain time each and every time. Your mind posses the ability to create positive ideas that leads to positive actions allowing you to live a strong and healthy life. Positive self talk can do wonders for motivation as well as just viewing the results of previous attempts (i.e. thinner waistline, six pack, etc.). Self encouragement is the ultimate motivation. You’ll have no one to thank but yourself.

Fitness motivation is the essential part of changing your body, so creating a fitness motivation plan maybe the answer for you. For men, setting goals and providing adequate challenges work best. Changing scenery from indoors to outdoors may be the answer. If you just don’t feel like exercising or giving up on an established routine, constantly reminding yourself that the pay off is great will help. Psychological benefits like increased confidence, self-esteem, and relief from anxiety, stress and depression and better sexual performance can be all the motivation that’s needed. Remaining realistic about your goals will also aid in the fight to stay motivated to exercise. Setting a goal that is extremely difficult to obtain is depleting and counterproductive. Achieving a challenging appropriate goal boosts pride, satisfaction and will create more motivation.

Making the exercise routine fun by adding variety in routines, exercises, or persons that you exercise with is a likely way to stick to any exercise routine.

If you are not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to fitness issues, you should consider hiring a professional trainer to help you out with your routine. This can take a lot of the mystery out of getting fit, as your trainer will custom tailor exercises and routines for your bodily needs, so as to maximize the results that you see. This is a slightly costly thing to do, so you should be sure about your commitment to exercising before you spend money to hire a personal trainer. You can also use the amazing technology of the internet to tap the brains of professionals. There are many different blogs that are updated daily with exercise routines that anyone can do.

So setting attainable goals, adding things to increase enjoyment of the exercise routine, challenges, and the addition of a buddy to assist are all great ways to stay motivated, stay fit, and most importantly stay moving. You will benefit in the short term, and in the long run as well with physical and mental benefits in almost every way.

Another great tip is hiring a personal trainer/fitness coach to keep you accountable and also to help guide you in the right direction without having to figure it all out or spend countless mins, hours, days or even months wasted searching for the answer. There is so much information out there it can drive you crazy leaving you feeling frustrated and then putting off taking action another day only to keep repeating this cycle....next thing you know months or even years have passed by and you're still in the same situation. Don't beat yourself up though....start with something simple and work on that first, but just stick to it then move on to the next. 

Well I hope this motivated you to get moving. We all deserve to feel good on all levels...Mind, Body, and Spirit. If you ever feel like you need a little boost, especially if you're a beginner and just need to get moving then I invite you to check out my program below.

TRUST THE PROCESS

  When it comes to TRANSFORMATIONS remember we need to TRUST THE PROCESS. Rome was not built in a day. Take into account we did not mess ourselves up overnight, therefore we can not fix and undo what we don't like overnight. Transformations mainly start with a mindset shift through daily work. We operate mainly from our subconscious brain which basically our second nature habits that its been recording throughout time that creates us to do such destroying or beneficial habits by second nature without really thinking about it.  Now we need to undo those repetitive habits that you've been doing ALL this time that got you here today to this place that you are in now that you may not like so much...whether that be with your health & fitness, physical, mental, financial, professional, relationships, etc. we all did not just all of a sudden wake up today in this state of being that we are in now. Failure does not happen overnight nor is Success gained overnight. So you want to t...

Check your food Ingredients- Carrageenan

  Carrageenan can induce inflammation and lead to chronic illnesses such as diabetes, digestive disorders, heart diseases, neurological disorders and even something as serious as cancer. I learned this years ago, I avoid this ingredient. Also in your pet food, do not let your pets consume it either. The food industry processes it in a harmful way, Govt. has been urged to ban this ingredient. It’s everywhere.  Carrageenan is a common food additive derived from red seaweed, used to thicken and stabilize products like dairy alternatives, processed foods, and even toothpaste. However, its reputation is far from pristine in terms of health. Many studies have raised concerns about carrageenan's impact. First, it's associated with gastrointestinal problems. Carrageenan can trigger inflammation in the digestive tract, potentially leading to discomfort and irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. Moreover, some forms of carrageenan contain a substance known as "degraded carrageenan,...
