Challenge yourself
Are you starting to feel like sticking to your workout routine isn’t worth it anymore?
Maybe you’re disappointed because it seems like you aren’t getting the results you want as fast as you’d like. Or perhaps you’re tired of fighting with your body day in and day out.
I’m here to tell you that everyone feels this way from time to time. It’s natural to have doubts and fears – and to even think about quitting.
However, the way you deal with this feeling makes all the difference, and it’s what separates those who achieve their goals from those who never quite make it. Are you going to recognize the feeling for what it is – a temporary blip – and push through it, or are you going to give in and give up?
Before you give up, consider the fact that you may just need a little motivation and inspiration.
Getting a little reinforcement for all the reasons you work out and live a healthy lifestyle in the first place may be all you need to keep pushing.
Reading quotes can be an easy way to get an inoculation against the fitness blahs – and usually it takes just one sentence to give you the boost you need.
Check out some of my favorites below. These help help keep me inspired to push harder and reach my goals.
Have you ever walked into a gym or fitness class and felt like you don’t belong?
This feeling is especially common if you haven’t worked out in forever (or maybe it’s even your first time) and you’re feeling like everyone around you is in much better shape. They’re running through HIIT workouts with ease and you’re in the back struggling to get in a breath.
You feel like a fraud. And you can’t help but think: Who are you to try to train like any of these athletes?
Okay, let’s hit the brakes on this train of thought. First of all, every one of those people started somewhere. They didn’t leave the womb shredded with the endurance of a horse, and they surely don’t come to the gym just to stand around and show off how buff they are.
So what is the difference between you and them?
They stopped thinking about others and got to work on improving themselves, regardless of their level of fitness. Their will to be better overrode their fear of being physically inadequate.
So struggle to catch your breath with pride. Soon enough, you’ll be better than the next beginner that steps through the doors
Sometimes you can feel so stressed because of all of the things on your to-do list that you can barely roll out of bed to do them. The overwhelm is just too much, right?
Well, I’m here to tell you that you should definitely roll out of bed and get to that workout. It might not seem like it now, but once you get started, you’ll notice that you’re more energized, your mind is clearer, and you’re feeling sunnier thanks to the burst of endorphins.
Not to mention, having an outlet for all that built-up stress will help lower cortisol levels and reduce belly fat – a win-win.
Developing a habit can be hard. While the logical side of your mind knows you should stick to a workout regimen to see results, the emotional side convinces you that skipping one more day won’t hurt anything.
