We've all been there.
You workout for 3 weeks, go out to dinner, grab a few drinks with friends, forget why you were going to the gym in the first place, lay on the couch watching endless episodes of FRIENDS and suddenly you haven't been to the gym in a month.
Here are 5 things you can do to get your booty motivated again!
1. Enlist a Friend.
- Look, it's hard to go at it alone. Grab a friend and pinky promise that you won't quit.
2. Get on a Program.
- Here's the thing, you're either going to go to the gym without a plan and walk around for 15 minutes until a cardio machine is available OR you can join a regularly scheduled class and hold yourself (and your friend) more accountable. It gives you an absolute time / place to be working out AND you don't have to plan ahead of time what to do! No brainer. Join a spin or pump class, a group class at our local small business gym (like Wimberly Training ;) ) or try out a CrossFit gym (I love CrossFit!).
3. Buy a new pair of Workout Pants.
- You deserve it. I mean come on, you just found a friend to commit with you AND you joined a group / class of some sort. TREAT YO'SELF.
4. Eat a Salad.
- Remind your body what its like to eat for fuel and not for fun. After your salad (filled with delicious healthy fats and multiple types of greens and proteins), treat yourself with a 15 min yoga session from Yoga with Adrienne or the ToneItUp girls. Then prep a salad for tomorrow's lunch. Girl, you got this. While you're at it, prep a few more salads and make some egg white muffins loaded with veggies to keep your diet on point for the week.
5. Wake up and Workout.
- It will suck. Like. Really suck. But - WAKE UP, GO PEE, THEN DROP AND GIVE ME 20! Sit-ups / Squats / Push-ups / Burpees / Lunges. There. Now you've already reminded your body to move more today and you'll feel better. PROMISE.
Now GO, call / text / email someone and get them to come with you to the gym tomorrow.
