Keeping motivated during the first few months of a new exercise program is vital since this is when a person is most likely to drop out and revert to old behaviors.
Consider and write down the advantages of staying with the program and becoming more physically fit and healthy.
Keep a list of reasons for exercising posted on the refrigerator door – this can be a powerful motivator on days when you don’t want to work out.
Add activities you enjoy into your work out.
Make an appointment in Team Beachbody’s WOWY Supergym with Buddies, or have a friend or family member exercise with you.
Visualize yourself succeeding at your exercise goals and becoming fitter and healthier.
Repeat positive affirmations to yourself throughout your work out (example: “I can achieve my fitness goals,” or “I am strong and healthy.” A person who repeats positive affirmations develops a more positive attitude regarding exercise. They also increase a person’s confidence in their own abilities.
Reward yourself after a grueling workout or a successful week on a wellness program. It’s important to choose a reward that does NOT sabotage your fitness goals. Perhaps a massage, a new outfit, new electronic toy, etc.
