Tips For Gym Motivation

By John Ethon


One of the most important factors in fitness motivation is the ambience in which you perform your fitness exercises. The atmosphere of the room or the gym, the colors of the walls, the conditions of the equipment available for fitness training, and even a light music in the background would have a very strong effect on your fitness training program.

The first step in fitness motivation to reach the gym is to put on the gym clothes. You could even tell yourself that you would just go the gym but would not do any exercises. However, when you have actually reached the gym and watch others do their workouts, you would definitely be tempted to join them. You could do it for 10 minutes and then push yourself for another 10 minutes. You could go on extending like this in small increments.

Another site that inspires people is 'Before You Were Hot'. It provides photos of people, showing how they were a few years or decades ago and how they are now. It is a real inspiration for fitness motivation, allowing you to get the confidence that you could also do it.

Before you start your workout program, you should have a clear mental visualization about what exactly you are planning as part of your fitness program. You should imagine how great you would feel after your workout, have better self respect, obtain more energy, and reduce your physical and mental tension to create a positive fitness motivation.

You could also purchase a few nice gym gear and special clothing that you could wear only in the gym. These would be additional fitness motivation factors that would always inspire you to go to gym.

The other fitness motivation sites that would really inspire you are 'Yum Lucky' from a mom who balances finely between her fitness goals and love of food, '43 Things' that provides you a collection of the goals of others, 'Diary of a Fat Woman', who has lost 60 pounds in her goal of losing 113 pounds, and 'StickK', a site that challenges you to pledge certain amount and lose it completely if you do not reach your fitness goals.
