I normally just continue reminding myself about what I want to be and what I can\u2019t be if I do work out. I\u2019m not gonna lied to myself here , there is always one of the all days where I do not do anything because I\u2019m either sick or I\u2019m just that tired . But that is very rare .Almost every other time I do some kind of work out if I feel like doing something big I do a whole 30 minute workout if I don\u2019t want to do something big I do 30 jumping jacks or 50 push-ups or even 100 squats. I get stressed out a lot so it\u2019s good for me to work out . And now that I realize it I should probably do my workout now. So bye.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-1068913649\"><div id=\"thefa-316610605\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Take control of your life<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marika F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think that exercise makes me feel good and better and it\u2019s a thing I really like, so why am I so unmotivated? I think about why and then I answer myself saying \u201cok I\u2019m gonna do this anyway if you want it or not\u201d and then when I\u2019m doing it it feels so good.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jens Peter Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tell myself that not every day is going to be perfect- it\u2019s okay to not give it your all once in a while. But reminding myself that even just going for a nice walk outside does wonders for the body- and mind!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brittany E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well when im lazy i just listen or see those people who have always motivated me with theor success im a person who tries to feel every moment like if im a little bit lazy it is okay to feel for a short time but then quickly i will return to my life my sucess my beautiful routines and for me the most important thing is to always be motivated and keeping in mind that im confident and ill be at peace with myself whatever the situation is so that how i be like living each feeling and moment and at the same time not forgetting my wortth<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nellie S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Do the smallest thing. One push up. One anything. Give exercise whatever energy I can muster and be proud of myself for doing that since it\u2019s way harder to do something when I want to do nothing. Remind myself why exercise is what I want to do (feeling physically good, rewarding myself with a great meal and hot shower, not feeling the afternoon slumps and food comas, having more energy, getting stronger, looking better and having good skin, preventing diseases, reducing anxiety and all of life\u2019s problems in my head, feeling good about myself, the list goes on). And get some rest so I won\u2019t feel so lazy the next day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Martin O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Give yourself a reward for doing something small. And build on that small task with another small task. And be kind to yourself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jonas E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tell myself to exercise for a limited amount  of time so I do not set too high expectations. I identify what best works for me that day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Austin P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think about what I want to achieve. I think about how it will feel when I have achieved all my goals. I imagine the pride I&#39;ll feel every time I think about it or look in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Raimund U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Set a specific time in the day and clear any distractions. It is ultimately a battle of will so you will have to want the change more then you want to avoid it or put it off. Just be mindful of why you decided to start exercising in the first place.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rasmus Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I lie there thinking about how I\u2019ll feel afterwards, if I do or if I don\u2019t. And when I want to be really lazy I put on a short YouTube video of a 10-15 minute yoga or stretching routine, so I have at least connected with my body.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ana O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">if I don&#39;t have an appointment that particular day, I usually just dress in my workout clothes, which often is a motivation in itself. Also, I find it helpful to envision the accomplished  feeling after a workout. \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffb<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeppe Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Prepare sports kit the night before laid out easy to see.<br \/>\nYou don&#39;t need to go to the gym to get a good heart rate raising session.<br \/>\nPut on some of your favourite gym music.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rosie T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Good question, I suppose you listen to your body and energy. It\u2019s ok to miss a few days of exercise but you do have to do it eventually.xx<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Philip B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, I don&#39;t exercise daily.  I exercise four or five days a week . It is not good  to push yourself to exercise even when you don&#39;t want to. Our body needs rest. Give it enough rest. Whenever I feel lazy and don&#39;t want to workout  I just think about all those extra calories I ate and that needs to be burned down and to burn those extra calories I do my regular workouts and some yoga.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regina F.
