I need help with encouragement and determination.

[skiny boy89]

Hey guys, I've been trying to keep fit and do home workouts, go jogging etc. But it just feels like one huge chore. I never really look forward to it, I see it as repetitious and whenever I finish it I feel a great sigh of relief. Sometimes I just give up and skip the day in which I work out. (Monday, Wednesday and Friday)

So basically I'm just asking for help and encouragement. I need something to keep me going, to make me look really forward for my next workout and for something to really keep me going.

I'm not looking to lose weight, if anything I'm looking to gain weight and to perform better generally. Thanks all!

Set up a reward program maybe? Maybe a friend will workout with you also?

If you know a friend who would be into doing this with you I think it would help to keep you both motivated, it makes it more fun too.
I find that when you do things like this at home it is really easy to become distracted and that sofa looks a lot more tempting than usual! What I try and do is make an effort to get away from home and I do that by getting on my bike.

I know what you mean. I've been working out every day and I hit every day for softball. Sometimes it's hard to want to get up early in the morning in my summer to hit, but I try to get motivated to do so. Try listening to motivating music, follow my inspirational blog? I put inspirational and motivational quotes on it. Plus, sometimes you can find REALLY good motivational stuff on pinterest.

I had the same problems with my strength training routines. What I found out worked the best was exercising in the mornings before I ate breakfast - if I do that then I feel great the rest of the day. It helped motivate me to keep going so I always feel great.

Like to work out too, but don't like the country am into.
