It seems that quite recently we met the new year, 2019, made wishes and once again promised ourselves and our body this very year to finally start regularly going in for sports. And now it’s March, and you again and again find excuses and continue to make sports plans, and not implement them. How can you motivate yourself to exercise regularly? Here are 10 self-tested tips that have made exercise an integral and enjoyable part of life.
1. Find your type of physical activity, which will bring pleasure not only to the body, but above all to the spirit. To do this, you may have to attend more than one trial lesson in various studios, but having found your sport, you will want these physical activities both after a hard day at work and on a well-deserved day off. After all, it is by doing your favorite sport that you will rest, and not torture yourself. Well, physical improvement of the body will be an additional bonus to a pleasant pastime and a new hobby.
2. Find your teacher or trainer. Whether it is a yoga teacher or a fitness trainer, it is important to meet him or her who will give you exactly that load, that mood, that charge of energy that will fully meet your needs and capabilities.
3. Find a sports studio near your workplace. After all, going to sports immediately after work is much easier than jumping home and succumbing to the temptations of a soft sofa and a full refrigerator, forcing yourself to pack up again and just leave the house.
4. If in the middle of the week there is still no time for pleasant physical activity, it is better to find a sports studio near your homeso that on the weekend between you and your favorite sport, grueling marches through the city do not become an obstacle.
5. Do not postpone all these searches until tomorrow. and remember that today is the best day to start playing sports and open new horizons for yourself and your body.
6. Buy yourself stylish and high-quality sportswear, in which you will feel comfortable, sexy and athletic even before the first squat even before and of course during sports.
7. Do not convince yourself that sports is an expensive pleasure, for which there is no extra money right now. After all, the cheapest type of physical activity, which year after year does not lose its relevance and effect on the body, is running. And if now you still do not have the funds for stylish and high-quality sportswear, you will find the money in a month, during which, instead of going to the store for a chocolate bar, you will arrange yourself jogging in the forest or park.
8. Make yourself a playlist of motivational music for sports, listening to which you will not be able to sit still and want to practice. After all, everyone has a couple of songs that each time will raise both the mood and the ass from the couch.
9. Arm yourself with patience. After all, you will need to be patient with the search for your sport, and with the search for your teacher, and with your body, which will take time to react to new pleasant impulses. So don’t be discouraged if the results are not immediately visible. The main thing is regularity and pleasure during the process, and then the body will tighten, in every sense of the word.
10. Finally, do not debate with yourself. If you start convincing yourself that it’s too late to look for some kind of sports hobby, think about the amazing woman Tao Porchon-Lynch. She is 100 years old and the most “adult” practicing and teaching yogini on earth. But if she has been practicing yoga for 92 years, then at 87 years old she also began to professionally engage in ballroom dancing and in 13 years managed to make this type of physical activity an enjoyable part of her life.
Well, if you find your sport, the moment will surely come when, after several successful exercises, your inner voice will begin to convince you, giving surprisingly weighty arguments that today is a very inappropriate moment for any physical activity and it’s time to skip class and do well-deserved pause. So it is just such a day or even days that will become the most important and necessary on the way to regularly practicing your favorite sports, if you do not enter into discussions with yourself, but simply train.
