I wake up at 7 then workout for about an hour (and don’t forget to stretch after) then eat breakfast like oatmeal, tuna sandwich, cereal and milk, pancakes or waffles. Then it’s time for my virtua

I love the feeling I get after the exercise in the morning. It’s an easy way to feel accomplished and lightens my mood for the rest of the day. It also makes me feel like I take more time for myself so while I feel accomplished I simultaneously feel like I took a mini vacation and instead of all the stress of work getting to me right away I get to focus on something else. Me.

100% having a friend to workout with that will complete the same exercises as me. If the two of us are doing different workouts in the same space I don’t find it as motivating, but moving through the same exercises together keeps me engaged. Even if it is through zoom it really helps. Also recently listening to podcasts. If I focus on a story when I workout by myself the time moves quickly.

Something interactive. I really like to dance, so that stimulates me to exercise. Also exercising with a friend to motivate eachother.

Sometimes this happens to me, almost every day I don’t have the motivation to do exercise, what I do is go to tik tok or youtube and watch people’s weight loss results, this motivates me a lot to do exercise, because I think "Woah if that person can do it I can too", "I’m going to have a glow up if I loose weight" and things like that and it motivates me, I hope this tip helps :)

Exercise opens me up to feel alive. I can feel vulnerable when I exercise- It makes me remember my place in this world and how ephemeral life all is. This temporariness of living then helps me put into context how much just 30minutes of vigorous activity is. Infinitesimal . But the ridiculous ROI on the youth , spark, and flexibility that my future self will get to have? Infinite!

I love listening to music while I exercise, a buddy is always good, preferably early in the morning because then it feels like a great start to my day

Music!! Music is Amazing I love it so much and it gives me energy. Also that feeling of satisfaction when you are finished

I usually start using it less around 7:00-7:30 so I don’t have trouble getting off of it completely before 9:00. I use the wind down button on my iPhone, and it doesn’t notify you about notifications, which personally helps me not check my phone. Hope this helps!
