How do I stick to a workout program, where fitness, not weight loss is the goal?
Hi. I’d like to start a workout program just to be a little stronger and have some muscle, but have tried before and can’t stick to it.
The reason, I think, is that I’m slim. I don’t have a certain dress or bikini to motivate me.
What are tricks I can use on myself to keep it up for good health?
Thanks!!
The first thing I think of is a workout partner. If somebody else is expecting you to work out with them, it makes it harder to flake out on your workout.
Also… try doing some classes… I find they are more fun and easier to talk myself into on days I don’t feel like going. Most gyms will have a barbell class of some kind.
If you don’t have a goal dress or bikini… make a different kind of goal. Track your progress and set some kind of goal… for instance doing 10 “boy” push-ups… or 100 crunches in 2 minutes… or 5 real over-hand pull-ups, etc. Something that you cannot currently do that is attainable for you in a matter of 6-8 weeks.
Make a promise to yourself for when you reach that goal. Buy a new piece of jewelry… get a pedicure… get a massage… eat out at your favorite restaurant, etc.
Hope this helps! Good luck
