Ways to get motivated!

Set a goal

When starting exercising make sure to set a goal, maybe a simple goal of 

so many runs in a week or a more detailed goal like: cycle 15km on Mon

day, rest on Tuesday etc.

Try to write these goals down. Hang it up in a place where you’ll see it of

ten. This will help you keep track of your goals. Find attached a planner 

that you can print and will help you track your goals.

Set a friendly challenge 

Everyone loves a good challenge, call up a friend and ask to do a small 

challenge you pick what you feel would be best for you. 

Examples would be: furthest ran, quickest cycle, healthiest meals, least 

snack had! the list is endless!!

If you have an Apple Watch you can challenge a friend to a 7 day challenge, check it out here!

Look at exercise as a hobby to help you stay motivated!

If you have a bad mindset towards exercise then the chances of you carry

ing on are very slim. Many people think exercise is torture, and this is one 

of the worst things to think.

Try to imagine that exercise is a fun hobby you like to do, because in time 

it actually may be!!

Work out with friends

When working out with a friend you are less likely to get bored, and        

perhaps give up. This will also make sure you preform to your best, and in 

time help achieve your goals.

When working out with someone just make sure that you don’t push 

yourself to much this can lead to long term injuries, and will not help you stay motivated to keep going!

Do something you enjoy

At the start try everything you can. You never know what sport, exercise 

etc you might like.

Once you tried as much as you can, decide on the activity you like the 

most and most compatible with your schedule. This will help you to keep 

going as you will like the activity yourself.

Do not compare yourself to anyone!!!

This is a huge problem, when people are exercising they feel they must be 

at a certain level. This is not true. You just do as much as you can and don’t 

compare yourself to anyone else, they may be training longer than you or 

they might just excel in this particular activity, remember everyones body 

is different. everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Reward yourself

Although keeping yourself active is important, make sure to reward your

self. Doing this will motivate yourself to keep you going, to achieve your 

goals.

Everyone needs something to work towards not only will this make you 

push on, but it will also help you enjoy it as you are getting rewarded for 

your hard work.

Examples of rewards could be: something sweet!, or even a chill night 

(or even some low calorie snacks!)

Rewarding yourself will help you keep motivated and help you to keep going.

Record how you feel before and after your activity

I know for me I feel a lot better after activities and this motivates me to do 

more activities. Try your best to record your feelings and how you feel      

after exercise, so when you have that day “i don’t feel up to it” just check 

the chart and you will remind yourself how great it feels after exercise or     

other activities. 

Find attached a chart to help you record how you feel during exercises.
