I&#39;ve been doing a 30 day yoga journey, I&#39;m now on day 19 and I can already see so much has changed since I started! I can hold poses deeper and longer than I could on the first day. I could start telling I was becoming stronger and more flexible in probably less than a week!<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-608488450\"><div id=\"thefa-707884690\"><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\">Amanda Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It dosen&#39;t take long to see the results, you can feel it in our breathing type, your energy and the way you act in confident later on&#8230; it&#39;s not only about muscles<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mafer G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I sometimes do exercises to forget everything even the idea of the body I want to have. I just have fun and in weeks I surprise myself with the results, even small ones.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Caroline Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends what kind of result your talking about. If your expectations of results are unrealistic then it will take a long time to get there and you\u2019re gonna get discouraged. I personally have just started doing the exercising for 7 mins in the morning and I see results right away and it\u2019s only been three days.  but that\u2019s because I don\u2019t get to ahead of myself and appreciate every moment. I feel myself more energized, I have better posture,I digest better, and I\u2019m happier. Those are not extravagant visible physical changes but they are the song that there has been a movement.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Thaty F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you had started it 3 months ago, you would be seeing the results today, the thing is, you can&#39;t go back in time, so if you want any results at all, you need to be strong for the next months.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lisa S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It&#39;s very hard to stay motivated &#8211; and in winter when it&#39;s cold and wet. For me, the results are quite quick as it&#39;s the peace of mind and happy endorphins that I need from exercise &#8211; it&#39;s important to push yourself enough so you feel the quick benefit of those. I also have added exercise into my daily routine e.g. cycling to work so that I have more incentive to get on that bike! Saves me time, money and resting my head in someone&#39;s arm pit crushed on a train!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Logan T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am nit looking for the same results as others<br \/>\nI\u2019m looking to stat lumber as I have multiple autoimmune diseases<br \/>\nThey will hamper your joints, skin, organs and so on.  I don\u2019t want to end up in a wheel chair.  This is my motivation.<br \/>\nI wish you well on your journey<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gigi N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I really don\u2019t know. I\u2019m really not that good at getting up for the gym. I am still working on getting up in the first place. I feel like as long as I can get up and attempt to be a human, that means I can attempt to workout. It is successful sometimes and not successful other times.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Albina Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Change your perspective. I promise you\u2019ll never be Perfectly happy with how your body looks. No matter the size. That\u2019s human nature. Sure it\u2019s some consolation to lose weight, but the weight and size isn\u2019t everything. Learn a skill. Learn to box or dance or rock climb. Try Pilates or yoga. Pick a difficult move you want to master. Focus on this goal.  Take a friend. It makes more different that you can imagine. Your body WILL change if you persevere. Paired with the right nutrition it will grow leaner and stronger.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dave T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Enjoy the exercise! If you like doing the activity, then getting some future result becomes a bonus. And not the sole reason for doing it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karen E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">My best answer to this is I always try to stop myself from seeing results and try to focus more on feeling them. Trying to see my results has lead me down to very negative self hate paths that have only ever discouraged me more when trying to keep up with a habit. Focusing on feeling the results is rewarding every day. I found my day to say activities in general just a bit physically easier as my body grows stronger and I get a better nights sleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Achmad N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Rahasia saya adalah adanya sosok figure yang saya ingin sama sepertinya yang berdampak pada motivasi saya untuk tidak ingin menyia-nyiakan waktu lebih lama lagi, saya ingin seperti dia secepat mungkin. Dan menerima bahwa exercise itu olahraga yang melelahkan namun memiliki lots of advantage. Serta ingat quotes bahwa perahu yang megah tidak dibuat dalam waktu satu hari<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Roo G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">What it makes it doable is when the journey is enjoyable! So you find yourself looking forward next training session.<br \/>\nFor example, my gym workout session is enjoyable. I like going and training in the gym. Because the environment is awesome and gives a lot of motivation and inspiration. Same goes for my TKD training with my teacher. I enjoy it. I never focused about getting ripped. I never focused on getting my 360\u00b0 back kick. I just enjoyed the moment.<br \/>\nMeanwhile my stretching sessions are pretty boring. I do them night time before sleep. I only did it twice and the rest was skipped. And I always tend to focus on &quot;when will I get my full splits?!&quot;.<br \/>\nIn my opinion, that&#39;s why. You might try find a better environment and a fun enjoyable way for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madeleine B.
