Stay Motivated and never miss another workout with these 5 Excellent Exercise Tips
When it comes to working out for fitness or for losing that holiday flab, the hardest thing to do is get a consistent exercise regimen going.
A lot of people have complained that they get started with fitness and keep at it for a few days or sometimes weeks even. Then they hit a wall and just can’t get themselves to go anymore.
If you have felt the same way, then you are definitely not alone! Lack of fitness motivation is one of the biggest factors working against the average person. In this day and age amidst hectic work schedules, it is pretty difficult to find it within yourself to make some room for your fitness goals. You can check out this post from garagegymplanner.com which should give you enough tips to motivate yourself.
Nevertheless, it is pretty important that you get started because chances are pretty high that you are slaving away at a computer at a desk job. What this means is minimal exercise and a sedentary lifestyle, both of which are responsible for health problems in the long run.
Here are a few things that can turn the tide in your favor:
Get a new relationship
A gym relationship. Get someone interested in your fitness plans as well. If you can get your best buddy or your better half, nothing better! This will make sure that there is more than one person to whom you feel responsible sharing your fitness ideals.
You should also be prepared to play the agony aunt or uncle if needed because there are days when your partner might also be feeling under the weather. You need to brush up on your pep talk a bit!
Dressed to fitness
Some days when the weather is really dreary and all I want to do is sleep in, I gather up enough motivation to put on my gym attire. Then I wait. 80% of the time, I just follow through with shoes and head out the door. This is a hack that was suggested to me by my friend and I find that this works out really well for people who are finding it difficult to get that initial burst of momentum.
Eat right
Food plays a huge part in getting your brain ready to leap out of bed and dive into the gym. If you are finding yourself tired and lackluster before your morning fitness routine, then, funnily enough, you might be lacking in iron!
Iron is an essential mineral that helps convert food into energy and is responsible for keeping your energy levels high. A lot of people think diet is eating less food, when in reality it’s eating more of what is good for your system and cutting out the rest.
W(h)et your system
Another factor that not a lot of people tell you, or realize is the fact that the body is composed mostly of water and that fluidic equilibrium is critical for optimal functioning. What you need to do is make sure you down sufficient quantities of water in a day for your body type. This keeps your energy levels high and enables you to make right and effective decisions when it comes to your fitness regimen.
Bored? Change it up!
Don’t like yoga? Do resistance training! Don’t like pushing weights around? Try calisthenics! There are an innumerable number of different disciplines that are all effective at giving your body the workout that it needs. Don’t confine yourself to just one routine or get into something that you do not like. When you pick a program that you like, you will automagically make more time for it.
Conclusion
Fitness is an important part of everyone’s daily routine and it’s even truer today because we are hardly required to exert ourselves physically through the average day. It is true that most of us have to work for a living, but using that as a crutch to handicap your fitness goals seems hardly the right solution.
The solution is to not treat fitness as a chore at all, rather something that you enjoy and is needed to get a complete and balanced lifestyle. These are few things that have worked for me. I’m always open to hearing more from you, so please go ahead and share some of your thoughts in the comments right below!
“We couldn’t recommend Kylie highly enough.”
“Having ongoing training is essential for our team and our business. It’s important to look after the people that look after others. Kylie has the experience, professionalism and knowledge to engage with our team and help them understand about human behaviour and why people do what they do. In the wellness and health industry it’s a different sales and service delivery and it’s imperative to keep on top of these understandings to perform at our best to help others. We couldn’t recommend Kylie high enough.”
- Amanda Bracks - Owner Soulful Fitness (2019 Fitness Australia Boutique of the Year)
“She’s the best speaker they’ve ever seen.”
“I have worked with Kylie over many years. She has helped me as a Business Mindset Coach, as a motivational speaker for my gym clients at both Vision Personal Training & now at Flow Athletic. I bring her in to train my Personal Training teams in mindset, communication and how to coach our clients better and excel in our own personal mastery as fitness leaders. At my recent Fitness Business event, my gym owner colleagues were blown away by her talk, saying she is the best speaker they have ever seen. After every event we always get rave reviews about her talks and training. I highly recommend Kylie’s work as a coach & speaker.”
- Ben Lucas - Founder & CEO, Flow Athletic
“So many things are just falling into my lap.”
“I finished the Spiritual Awakening Course yesterday and I found it truly amazing. An incredible next step after our coach training. I feel so much more enlightened and “opened-up”. It has really opened my eyes to the power of the universe and the energy flowing in each of us. I loved it – thank you.
I am feeling so lucky at the moment. So many things are just falling into my lap. I visualise it and set my intention to manifest it and it comes. Things such as getting more clients, needing help to put my business online, not knowing how to get known in my local community etc. Courses / insights / clients have just fallen into my lap at the right time.”
Of course I am still learning and growing, but the course has really helped. Thank you”
- Katharine Williams - NLP Coach, Limitless Growth
“I have never been this happy or powerful.”
“Before I signed up with Kylie I had a busy PT business… I was exhausted and on the brink of burnout and no matter how hard I tried, I had reached a ceiling in my income that I just couldn’t break through. After completing my NLP Coaching certification, I found my true voice and the energy of my business has been completely transformed. I’ve created an online program, up-levelled my entire business and totally smashed my previous income goals. I make decisions more confidently and I can help my clients create change in their life even faster. On a personal level, NLP gave me the inner strength to leave a toxic situation and rebuild myself which lead to me discovering the love of my life! Today I am living the life that I’ve always wanted – but just hadn’t been able to put into words. I have never been this happy or this powerful. If you want to manifest the life of your dreams I would not hesitate to reach out for help from Kylie.”
- Danni Vee - Women's Health Coach, My Fit Tribe
“I’ve noticed big improvements in my finances and client retention”
I signed up with Kylie because I knew that to have a bigger effect as a PT I needed to improve my understanding of how the mind works. Through NLP Coach training I now have great coaching techniques that break through all sorts of negative behaviour patterns. I’ve noticed big improvements in all areas of my life including my own personal finances and my client retention. This has allowed me new freedom to work on scaling my business and helping even more people with less one on one time from myself. The coach training has given me the ability to fully unlock the power of your mindset and those that don’t have this skill are only tapping into a small amount of their potential.
- Blake Worrall-Thompson, Performance Coach & PT
“Magick happens every time!”
This morning I had a kick-ass coaching session with Kylie Ryan. We’ve been working together for a couple of months, and she’s the perfect person to help me integrate the rapid transformations I go through regularly. I’d been getting this vision of my fully mature creative and entrepreneurial self. His discipline, commitment, and command of wealth was 10x what mine is now, but it wasn’t really about money for him. Our coaching sessions usually roll with me saying, “Kylie, I want to be, do, and have EVERYTHING” and Kylie helping me find the archetypes and parts that aren’t integrated and bringing them together. MAGICK HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
