5 Ways to Get Motivated to Go to the Gym

August 26, 2016

Sports Bra: Reebok Tank: Marshall's, similar here in white Shorts: Nike Tennis Shoes: Nike 'Roshe One' 

Today I thought I would share with you a little different post than normal. Now I don't know about you but I go through spells with working out. I swear one month I'm like really into it then the next I don't even want to think about going to the gym. So I thought I would write a post about 5 ways you can use to get motivated to go to the gym if you are on the struggle bus like I have been! So here we go:

1. Buy Cute Gear. Yes. I know when I saw these Nike's I was more pumped to workout because I had new shoes. I think all girls would agree ;)

2. Invite a Friend! When I used to live in my hometown we all did a bootcamp together and it made it so much easier to go and harder not to go because I knew my friends would be there lol. They are great motivation. 

3. Try a Fun Class. The gym Justin and I just signed up for not to long ago has a ton of classes I've been wanting to try (one of them being Hip Hop!). I know if I had a scheduled class every week I would definitely go. 

4. Download a New Playlist. I pay like $10 a month for Spotify and it is the best investment ever. They have a new music Friday and I always create a new playlist from that. New music always gets me excited to workout. 

5. Stop Thinking about it and Just Do It. Ok so maybe I stole part of Nike's slogan...but it's true! 

How do you stay motivated to workout or go to the gym?

  3. "Just do it" is THE motto. I always need to put on my workout clothes and get out of the damn door or it won't happen. Loved this motivation post, you look amazing!

  6. Great tips and such fun photos! I am a huge advocate of cute gear and a great playlist! As someone who actually loves to train alone, I personally don't do much in the way of classes or the buddy system anymore (blame 20 years of teaching group fitness and a doing personal training in a gym setting, lol), it is SO important for so many! Great post!
