Motivation.
It often seems to be the missing ingredient when it comes to
exercise but, what you may not realize is that motivation isn't
constant--it may change from day to day depending on your mood,
goals and attitude. The trick is to find something (anything!)
that gets you moving; fitting into a certain pair of jeans, less
stress or being healthy for your family. As you can see from
the Exercise Forum
posts below, everyone has a different reason for exercising. See what keeps them going!
-
"I
was wondering what keeps you motivated...I know one
thing that helps me is to keep a log book of the days I exercise and the things
that I did." Sweet-pea
- "For me,
my goal is to compete. And I want to be at the very best I can be. I wake up at
4:30 in the morning to work out. It can be hard at times because we never know
if what we do would pay off." ERICS13
- "My motivation.....a
pair of size 8 Calvin Klein's hanging in the back of the closet. I not only want
to wear those jeans but I want them falling off! :)" STARSUPONTHA
- "I've
gained 20 pounds on my bench press max in six weeks. On the wall of my
gym, there's a list of names for bench press records: 275, 300, 350, 400.
I want my name on the 350. I could take the 275 and maybe even the 300
right now, but I want the 350. And when I get it, and I will, I'll aim for
the 400. Just getting me on the bench is enough to get me started."

- "1. Feeling good- I gained weight my senior year of college and
felt incredibly bad about it, as I had been really fit before that...2. Britney
Spears videos - I am not thinking I will ever look quite like that, but why not
have a goal of some sort?" Songbird
- "I can't speak for anyone else, but my motivation comes from
family members. First is my children...now better nutrition and regular exercise is a
normal occurrence at our house. My second motivation is from my father...My Dad
died when I was 9, heart attack at 45. I am closing in on 40 and I decided that
I shouldn't allow myself to follow in his footsteps." THEBIGDT
- "My motivation to workout is
how I feel each day. If I'm tired,
depressed or achy, I know exercise will bring immediate relief and will last the
rest of the day. I'll sleep better and have more energy to get
things done. My entire day is better when I exercise...can't beat that
with a stick!" Ab_Exercise
- "The hardest thing I find is just getting there, once your there it's
fine, so if you just keep your focus on being at the gym instead of focusing on
the journey you might find it easier!" MELLICENT
