If you lack motivation and are full of excuses, motivation is my specialty. Even as a coach it happens to me, especially when I’m sore after a workout with DOMS! I set four goals today, walk, grocery shop, get out my Trina’s Transformation Tidbits post and get in a workout. It was almost impossible to fit due to my over scheduled day with clients, meetings and prepping for our 11 Year Anniversary for Charity. It’s easy to make excuses when you are too busy to make time for fitness. Stop, laser focus and gain some mental clarity to make it a priority.
Motivation | How to get your Fitness Mojo Back
On May 23, 2014, I had Hip Surgery for a CAM impingement and labral tear. I couldn’t walk, sit on a toilet, tie my shoes or do much of anything. Mobility, workouts and walking became a priority. Now that I have fully healed, it’s easy to be “too busy” to fit in workouts.
Before the surgery, I was a Crossfit athlete, training for my black belt in karate, a weight lifter, runner and post surgery, my new workout was getting off the toilet, shaving my own legs and tying my own shoes before 12 months.
Motivation | Make Working Out a Priority
- Change from “I will try to have a workout” to “I’m going to have a workout” then make it happen
- Find a trigger and attach it to your health *mine is my Hip Surgery
- Get moving any way possible *stairs, walk or these workouts
- Get your mindset right
- When you are overwhelmed, force yourself to do it
- Make goals happen by writing them down and following through
- Write 3 things down that you will accomplish tomorrow to make you feel happy, healthy, fit and focused. Schedule it and hashtag me with #Fit4Females for accountability
