Hey and Happy Friday!

Ok, here in Ohio it has been raining for some time and it is dark and gloomy.  I don’t know about you but for me it is very hard to get my workouts in sometimes with bad weather… it just seems to have such an impact on me. 

So, how do you motivate yourself and find inspiration when it is so easy to rationalize your way out of it? 

Well, here is a list of some of the things I do to stay motivated and get my workouts in:
1.  Watch a motivating YouTube video (like the one I posted below).

2.  Look at a picture of a physique I want to have

3.  Look at a picture of a physique I do NOT want to have

4.  Read Motivating Quotes

5.  Read the goals I have written down (yes, you should have your goals written down)

6.  Stop thinking about my workout and just get in my car and go without any thought whatsoever.

7.  I tell myself that I will just do a very short workout so that at the very least I get something done.  However,   once I get to the gym and get going I always end up doing the whole thing.

Those are just some of the things I do to force the issue a little.  If you have any you would like to add let me know. 

Check out the video below by Les Brown, he is an amazing motivational speaker and always brings me out of a FUNK that I may be in.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and that it inspires you to continue to strive to achieve all that you are capable of.

I probably watch this video at least once every week and I encourage you to find something that will work for you so you can use as your go to when the mood calls.
