That way i see that althougj the exercise may feel hard .. if my heart rate is below my targer i know that i can push harder.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-849007776\"><div id=\"thefa-739288799\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Procrastination is not laziness. It's a lack of routine.<\/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>Build yours now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mya E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to listen to audiobooms or podcasts that I enjoy while exercising. I find that this distracts me from what I am doing and allows me to exercise harder and longer. I also pick a book or TV show that I really like and decide to only listen to or watch it while I exercise. That way my motivation to watch a favorite show is linked to my motivation to exercise.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aenne F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When weightlifting, don&#39;t get too hung up on numbers, other than finding the range you want to work in. Go until failure every set, not stopping at a certain number. That will tell you whether the weight is too heavy or too light.<br \/>\nUse mid-set breaks:  Just when you get close to the failure point, stop, take a breath, then power out a few extra reps. On the final rep, do a rest-pause:  After reaching failure, set the weight down, shake it out, take a couple deep breaths, then go for a few more reps to failure.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Wieland F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I always start by saying to myself \u201cI\u2019ll start with 5 minutes. I can do anything for just 5 minutes.\u201d Then, when things get really hard, I just count to 10 until that set or interval is over. It helps take my mind off whatever is happening. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Chiara T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Two situations came to my mind. First is when I&#39;m running and I think I can go further. Then I use a meditation practice to visualize that though from the outside and the let it go and focus on my breath. After a few minutes I find myself thinking on something else. The second situation is when stretching and I think I&#39;ve reached my limit. Then what I do is to relax completely on that limit and when I feel comfortable the push a bit more. In all situation take care to not go too far beyond your capacities, or you can hurt yourself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tammy T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to enjoy every activity. I mostly run, so i watch heart rate, what should stay at 70%. This way i can breath normally and i have a great workout. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Blake R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Concentrate on the breath breathing deeply from the diaphragm. If there is an exercise pose u find difficult breathe and visualise yourself successfully acheiving it. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Artur F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually dance to the oldies to work out some of the stiffness in my joints.  Even though I walk with a cane,  I find I am walking faster .  I never thought I would be able to do the quicker walking. You just have to make up your mind you can do it and you will find you can.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daouane Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you don\u2019t like or even hate exercising, just think about after your done exercising and what you\u2019ll do then and reward yourself. I also recommend a fitness app if you really need it. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Milan Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I really focus in on my goal and block out the aches and the exhaustion, and the lazy thoughts and imagine what it will feel like when I reach that goal.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karla W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">At the moment I mostly do pilates and running. For pilates it really helps me to do it in a group with an instructor. I can &quot;outsource&quot; some of my willpower to her. She will tell me to keep going when I can&#39;t do it anymore. I notice the difference when I try to do it by myself. I stop much earlier.<br \/>\nRunning I enjoy a lot so it is much easier to push myself. So maybe it&#39;s also about finding the right excercise for you.<br \/>\nFinally, just signing up for some competitions (if available for your sport) or working out together with a friend can help a lot as well.<br \/>\nHope this helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elya O.
