I was recently asked to address the whole ‘staying motivated<\/a><\/strong>‘ thing. This is a toughie because I am not one to distract you with flashing lights, fun music, fad classes, etc.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Your motivation to workout and to stay healthy can’t come from a please-distract-me-from-what-I-am-doing strategy… it should come from that base-line, honest level of I-am-doing-this-because-I-know-I-will-feel-better-after.<\/p>\n

When you don’t feel like working out, that inner voice has to speak and say, “feeling like working out isn’t part of the game – do it anyway.” Then you just do it because you know you will be happy you did. \u2028This can apply to doing an actual workout – or to sticking to your meal plan – or choosing NOT to eat that extra dessert\/serving of healthy food\/etc.<\/p>\n

Now, with that said, if you need motivation in the actual workout area, I always use the cardio interval class<\/a><\/strong> or mountain class for when I am not really feeling the workout thing. These workouts begin easy – so you can warm up gradually – and then they get tough. Usually if you give yourself an extended warm-up you will come around to the workout. Or, if you can, take a class at the gym<\/a><\/strong> that you really like – like hip\/hop, spinning<\/a><\/strong>, body pump<\/a><\/strong>, yoga, or whatever peaks your interest.<\/p>\n

Regardless, your motivation has to be rooted in your belief that living a healthier, more balanced life will result in you being healthier and more balanced.<\/p>\n

Here is the scrub… you have to really want that. If you don’t really want to be healthier and more balanced then we have a completely different issue. \u2028Hang in there, being balanced takes work and if you think about it, being unbalanced takes work, too.<\/p>\n
