How To Motivate Yourself To Work Out At Home

Hey y’all, I’m back with some more advice! Lately, I have really been trying to get into shape, be healthier, and feel good about how I look (especially with my wedding next year!) It’s not easy to work out at home and sometimes, I can’t always make it to the gym. I had to find the motivation to work out at home and I have found the tips and tricks that really work for me when I am trying to work out at home. It has been said that it takes 21 days to form a new habit but we are gonna go above and beyond and try to make it to 30 days! I will say this: what worked for me will not work for everyone. However, if you are having a hard time trying to find motivation, try these tips and tricks. They may just be your saving grace when it comes to working out! I am not a professional trainer so please consult your doctor before trying any exercise that you have not done before!

1. Create a USEFUL Habit Tracker

• Create a habit tracker
  • Can put into a bullet journal
  • Download my freebie when you subscribe!
  • Motivates you to fill in the tracker as the days go on
• Take progress pictures

2. Set Up a Routine & Stick to It

• Draft a schedule that works to fit in 30 minute workout
  • Make it realistic
  • Start out light and increase your goal as you build your habit
    • I.e – 30 min workout (10 minute stretch/ 20 min workout)

3. Make It Fun!

• Find a challenge that speaks to you
  • Abs Challenge
  • 75 Soft Challenge
  • 100 Squat Challenge

4. Utilize Active Recovery Over Off Days

• An object in motion tends to stay in motion while an object at rest tends to stay at rest
• low-intensity exercise that promotes blood flow to the muscles, helping them to recover better and faster.
  • Swimming
  • Yoga
  • walking/ jogging
• Active recovery gives your body a break from hardcore workouts done during the week
  • Still working and not missing any days

Exercising is a great way to boost your morale and mental health. Of course, it is great for you physically too. Working out is a great habit to start and focus on, especially when you want to get in shape for a wedding (brides tap in)!
