Just take a walk...its amazing how much better you’ll feel! It doesn’t have to be very long but it may put you in the mood for your regular workout.

I usually try to start off by getting on the floor and stretch then next I tell myself I can do a little more. Next thing you know, I’m doing yoga or some strength training depending how I feel. Even if you don’t end up exercising, at least you got a great full body stretch in.

Well. If I don’t feel like exerciseing on certain days because my willpower has gone for a holiday. I call upon my why power. I reflect back on the reasons as to why I started this and how much it will benefit me. Another thing I do ( if for some reason my first option doesn’t work) is I journal. I write down the reason I just don’t feel like it . Whether it’s a bad day from work, the wrong morning or I just didn’t feel like it. I don’t beat myself up for for skipping a day of exercise. I simply give myself the chance of redemption with these two options. One or the other always works. 🌸

I walk around the neighborhood and try to get the step count to at least 10,000. Otherwise, I try my best to do one round of my own sets or jog.

On days where I have no motivation to move, I do five minutes of yoga with the app Asana Rebel. It has the option to add another work out if once you start, you feel like you can do more. I know I can do at least five minutes of something and more often than not, I end up adding time on to my workout.

I tell myself, “I only have to dance around to this one song.” I dance and most times feel like moving more afterward. But if I don’t, I won’t force it. All it takes to build this habit is a little movement that you build overtime. You won’t powerlift or run a marathon everyday, so don’t let the image of where you wanna be stop you from taking a small step in the right direction today!

Hmmm I’ve for I don’t need will power if I just set my alarm a bit earlier. Then when fabulous says exercise I hot the 4min core abs and 7 min fitness routine and don’t have to think about it!

Anything from cleaning your house lightly to getting out of bed and walking around the block should be considered exercise on your worst days.

Well,the one thing you can do to exercise when you have no willpower, is walking. Here’s why. Walking helps you exercise every part of your body and, also is great for overall health and well-being. Sincerely, Selmaan A Ali

I start it with easiest exercise and do minimum repetitions. The main point is to appreciate what was done and make it clear that it is fine to do it the light way sometimes
