9 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Work Out Every Day ...

I always have good intentions at the start of the year, and plan exactly when I’m going to work out…. but while I can think of a huge list of reasons why I should work out, I can think of a huge list of why it can wait until tomorrow, too! So I’ve researched the top nine ways to motivate yourself into exercising everyday, and if you are anything like me, they should help you get going!

1. The feel good feeling afterwards

That amazing feeling once you’ve done a proper workout is more than worth it! Even if you feel exhausted and rubbish when you start, you get that buzz and feel on top of the world when you are done, and what could be more motivating?

2. Calories

If I’m really struggling, I think about the ‘free’ snack I can have later with the calories I’ll have burnt off. This can also work if you get half way through and can’t continue… a chocolate or two is the perfect motivation to work a little harder!

3. Bikinis!

Some people are visually stimulated, and if that’s you, motivate yourself by thinking of a new, slimmer, more toned you. Picture yourself in your bikini, and you’ll find yourself working a little harder!

      Hahaha Amy,
      That’s so cute (in my vast usage of the word “cute”). But I can see why it could work as inspiration…

    Since i found Total Woman Gym and Spa I love working out everyday and get quite cranky if I cannot go. I also love mountain biking and feel very confident wearing a mini skirt after a good ride!

      Gotta agree with you there Meream. 3 & 7 are usually my top reasons. The bikini reason not so much… You’ll know why if you ever visit India. Too many pervert middle aged men :D

    One thing I have noticed over the decades is that when I do get into a regular exercise routine, usually Mountain Biking, my body begins to crave the exercise and I will actually get the ... See more jitters ans something akin to an anxiety attack if I don’t go for a ride. I think it might have something to do with what you mentioned in your first point. The feeling good afterwards. Except that feeling usually kicks in half way through my ride and lasts for hours afterwards. Better than caffeine! Endorphins boost my sense of well being and spark a huge creative boost in me! It is very addictive. Now that the weather is warning up I am biting at the bit to get on a mountain bike again and ride :D

      Hey September,
      You lucky lucky girl. My body is actually quite the opposite. I’m waiting for it to realize that laziness is a sin :D
