Tightens the muscles a bit and keeps me going. I honestly have no time or energy for anything extra, BUT this is SO much better than nothing, it helps me so much and i have seen great difference! You need to combine this with a good diet because it doesn&#39;t really burn that much fat, but it does give ypu strength and lean muscles.<br \/>\nYou can find such routines online, mine is from a claudia swlewski video.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Serenity S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to push through and start anyway. Sometimes once you get started the feeling that you don\u2019t want to do it goes away<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rick E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">To be honest this is something that I have struggled with for a while. I tend to find that if I break it down into tasks it becomes a more manageable habit. First, get up and just stretch your body- I tend to feel more motivated once o feel like my body is ready to get moving. Secondly just doing something as simple as changing into your clothes- once they&#39;re on there is no excuse! And don&#39;t make the exercise you are about to do too challenging- you want to feel motivated to get moving initially and feel a sense of accomplishment once you have finished<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Everett W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have an accountability buddy who pushes me to go and encourages me even if it\u2019s for 30 mins or for a full hr. I also like to multitask and would take that time to watch tv or do flashcards or wedding plan while running on the treadmill of elliptical<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Andrea C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I drink something with caffeine. It gets me moving &#8211; it feels like a switch and my body gets energized&#8230; even if my brain isn\u2019t with it yet.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cherry L.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It&#39;s even more important to just go and do exercise! When you feel drowsy, you give yourself excuses for procrastination like &quot;i have to find ways to wake up first&#8230;&quot;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Logan C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I remind myself that even a little bit is better than nothing, that by doing something I\u2019m already better off than I was before<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Peter Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Just say to yourself &quot;this will help me and I can do it.&quot; Also instead of thinking, oh boy I have to workout for 30 minutes ugh, say &quot;I&#39;ll do five pushups and then if I feel like continuing I will.&quot;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kara O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">SOmetimes i like to get started with some stretches or floor exercises. Then jumping jacks or something easy to get blood pumping<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">M Ximo Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I hate that the Nike logo has to pop into my head as I write this, but they\u2019ve branded themselves well. Just do it. As unsympathetic as that sounds, know that it\u2019s coming from someone who so very often does NOT want to do it. But every time I begrudgingly push myself out of bed and out the door, I start to feel so much better. That first step is the hardest part, I promise. If you can only muster the strength to get started, you will crush that workout and crush your day. And you\u2019ll feel amazing when it\u2019s done.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Melissa N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use Mel Robbins 5 second rule. I count down from 5 say go and start. Somedays are harder than others. Today was really hard and did my exercise but it was for sure not my best effort. Somedays you just have to show and give what you have even if its not your best.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Zeneida Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well I just think of how I made a commitment and that it will just make me feel better about myself so I do it. Also if you are actually really tired then just choose an easier or quicker workout just to get yourself moving.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alberte W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start small a walk around the block a couple quick stretches. Find something you enjoy now that I go to spin &amp; do yoga it&#39;s easy to get started because they&#39;re things i actually enjoy doing and feel good doing. I always dreaded going to the gym so I don&#39;t do that anymore I&#39;m not gonna keep it up if it&#39;s something I hate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruth G.
