How do you stay motivated to exercise on days when you’re just exhausted and had a 12-hour shift at work?

If you’re really exhausted it’s best for you to not exercise But if you’re not that exhausted, you can go to the gym and things will motivate you there If you’re at home, put on some gym clothes and turn on a video, and when you feel like it, continue with the coach

Di solito vedo come comportarmi, non c’è nulla di male nell’ascoltare il proprio corpo. L’importante è non strafare, penso che siano i momenti in cui non ho voglia di fare nulla quelli che dovrei riempire maggiormente!

Remind myself that event though I’m exhausted, I’ll feel more refreshed after exercise. And the sooner I do it, the sooner I’ll feel better

I take a walk durning my breaks. It isn’t a long walk but it keeps me moving and doesn’t over stress. In fact it helps me calm down.

I like to workout so for me I don’t have a problem getting motivated. Just think of the end result and that should help.

Pair your workout with a treat that only happens during your workout. For example, listening to a podcast (e.g. Welcome to Night Vale or Start With This) while walking, or watching fanvids while you are on an elliptical trainer or treadmill. Also give yourself permission to do a short or easy workout now and then, so long as you do show up to work out (or have a home routine variation) — once you’re at the gym or have your workout stuff at the ready, you might find that your energy returns! Another possibility is getting set up for a rhythm game; my friend is set up for VR, and I never sweat as much as when I’m enjoying a few rounds of Beat Saber! Doesn’t feel like a workout until the next day ^_^

Well for me exercising after a long and exhausting day is the key to let go of negative emotions and to think about how the day went it helps me concentrate and get perspective on things to come in the following days, i usually work out 4-5 times a week at around 8:30-9pm

I feel like when I come back from work and haven’t done extra exercise in my break or in the morning, my energy is still high and can’t fall asleep. I work as chef-aid in a kitchen And carry lots of heavy things, but not enough to fall asleep fast enough when I get back to my bed! So when i dont exercise, I sleep less.

I think maybe if you take a quick power nap and really feel up to do it then maybe you’ll have some energy and motivation to exercise. Also your exercise doesn’t have to be a big one. you could take a quick walk, quick jog, 10min yoga, etc. I hope this helped! Have an amazing day!

I always just re-think in my head about how I want to be with my exercise habits and think of how happy I will be to complete a challenge. It helps motivate me and I hope to get better at other challenges.
