If you are determined to go to the gym, have you considered going first thing in the morning? Or, when you get home from work, try going for a five minute walk, doing five pushups/sit ups/crunches/whatever. Just do five. You might find you want to do more once you’ve started, but if not, that okay.
This app taught me to create a workout ritual. A series of things I always do right before working out that get me in the right mindset for it. I had that same problem yesterday. I came home from work exhausted and almost decided not to workout. Instead I decided to just start my ritual, and amazingly enough, it led to me completing a full one-hour workout. Try setting up a ritual. 😊
Start doing small exercises, there’s a 7min routine in the app, or a 4min core. Just do something, but START, it only takes 10min. Do it in your house if it’s difficult to go to the gym, or take your gym clothes and pass by a park before going to your house after work. Keep it up, just keep moving!
I started thinking of going to the the gym as a privilege, I haven’t always had a gym membership and once I’m there it’s hard to leave...
Yea. Simply don’t come home from the gym if you can avoid it. Pack your gym clothes with you so that you don’t have the temptation to skip a day. Even better if your route home makes you drive past the gym. If it Manditory for you to go home (say to tend to children or a pet) then try to include them in your workout. So go for a longer walk/jog with your dog or make a "play date" with your kids so they help you burn the calories you otherwise would have burned at the gym.
Is there any way you could go to the gym before work? I always find it’s easier to set time aside for exercise at the beginning of the day before life takes your day over.
Try the morning. See if there is a gym nearby open very early. If not then pack your bag before going from home or bring it in the back of the car so its easy to just go there.
Place your fitness session in the mornings! This can help you to feel fresh and energized right away. To prepare to get up so early go early to bed in the evenings the day before. Hope you will be able to start your day fabulously!
You can exercise even while watching tv, just walk or jog in place, do some squats and cherry pickers- just set a timer- even easier to follow the one in the app, and go!
You have a couple of options: 1. Try to go to the gym in the morning before work. 2. Try to use your lunch time to go to the gym. 3. You can have a Pre workout supplement or a shot of coffee that will give enough energy to pump some iron. Beware that most of the Pre workout supplements have caffeine in it and the coffee also have caffeine, if you have these later in the afternoon or evening you may have sleep issues.
