Nashville Personal Trainer Gives A Little bit of Exercise Motivation

Many people know how important exercise is as an integral part of their weight loss and health plan but still have a difficult time fitting it into their busy lives.

One possible reason could be that, yes, exercise can be challenging when you first begin your program or you just give yourself the excuse “I just don’t have the time.”

What I have figured out for myself and for many people is that no matter which exercise program they choose, it must be something they enjoy.  Especially when it comes to the setting and location.

Maybe you can convert that 2nd bedroom that you're not using in to your "home gym." 

NO, home gym does not mean you have to get the most expensive, high tech equipment. To be honest, the only items that you need to make up your home gym are: an exercise ball, 2 adjustable weights, an exercise mat, and an old Spinning bike that you can buy used from a local YMCA. That’s it! Nothing expensive or high tech about it.

Many times in the past I'm sure you have joined gyms and told yourself you were going to go.  But like many other gym members, you never go!  Now, you may really enjoy exercising so why wouldn't you actually use your gym membership?

You may figure out that you really love your exercise room. It’s your private time to yourself and you don’t have to worry about who else needs the equipment or who’s lurking around the gym. You get an hour to yourself and it’s a great way to start your day.

I asked myself if this could possibly be what’s stopping many people from exercising. “Is this most people’s problem? Do they not like where they work out so they just don’t want to go?” So it’s really not the actually the workout but the environment that they’re in.

Now maybe for you the situation is just the opposite. You don’t like working out in your home and you would much rather get out and be motivated by other healthy people(like my small group training classes). Whatever the case may be, choose something you enjoy! You will never make a lifestyle change to include exercise on a consistent basis if you don’t enjoy it. Who wants to do something that feels like torture? Not me.

My question to you is: What do you have to do to make your workout time enjoyable? Or (heaven forbid) something you actually look forward to? Join an adult sports league?  Join a bootcamp?  Join a new gym? Set up a home gym? Find a workout partner?  The choices are endless.

Try many different options and figure out which activity you would enjoy best and I assure you, exercise never has to be a drag.

Get started on a new healthy nutrition and exercise plan right now with the meal plans and exercise programs in The Diet Solution Program.

Cheers,
