Medical Video: The Science Of Motivation
It's easy to start a routine exercise after you decide it's time to change your lifestyle to be healthier, but keeping motivated is a tough challenge for many people.
It's okay if you sometimes feel reluctant to exercise, but you need to have a strategy to deal with it. There are days when you are very lazy to go to practice and exercise.
When this happens, the most important thing is to accept it, turn negative thoughts into positive thoughts, and plan to start tomorrow. Read more about positive advice that can really help to overcome this obstacle.
Record your activities
Keep abreast of your routine schedule by always recording the activities that you do. This can make you more responsible if you don't take time to exercise or to encourage you to exercise more.
A note or diary will also help you see patterns of activity so you can adjust your routine to work better for you. By recording activities, you will be able to find out the following pattern:
- Are there certain days of the week when you feel lazy to exercise?
- Do you exercise longer when you choose to swim, not jog?
- Are there certain activities that you enjoy more than other activities?
Mix your routine
That's why it's very important to mix your routine with other activities that you enjoy. Mixing your routine also helps you exercise with different muscles.
For example, you are tired of practicing on a treadmill in the gym for 30 minutes every day. In order not to get bored, you can try cardio classes once a week. On other days, you can exercise brisk walking or cycling with friends.
Sports with friends
The words "having a friend or group for sports together can be a real motivator" turned out to be true. If you have a routine activity that has been planned with a group or even just with a friend, this can help you continue to be encouraged to exercise. Plus, exercising with friends can make your routine more enjoyable!
Choose activities that you enjoy
Choosing activities that you enjoy, fitting in with your schedule, and matching your budget will also keep you motivated.
Choose some aerobic activities (such as walking and swimming) and other types that help you strengthen muscles (such as using heavy machinery or walking with light loads).
Also choose some activities that you can do outside and some activities you can do indoors when the weather is bad.
