5 WAYS TO HELP YOU STICK TO YOUR FITNESS ROUTINE!

1. HIT THE GYM IN STYLE


Walking to the gym in the same usual t-shirts and track pants can get really boring at times. So, to create a sense of excitement ,try changing your gym wear collection after about every 2 months. Our clothes play a great role in adding up to our confidence. Wear clothes that fit you well and make you feel good about yourself and your body.The most important thing to be kept in mind when it comes to the gym wear is, comfort! make sure whatever you wear is comfortable and doesn't distract you from your workout.So, make sure the next time you dress up for the gym , you "Feel good" and are all set to hit the gym in style!

2. HAVE A GYM BUDDY

Having a gym buddy who is as enthusiastic towards fitness as you are, is a blessing! When you have a buddy to accompany you , there are less chances of missing out routines or dropping out. Mutual passion and sense of motivation is something that keeps you going. When working out together the level of compliance to the prescribed exercise increases, also it has been found that people working out with a partner have significantly higher attendance and lower dropouts than the ones working out alone. The main reason behind this is the mutual support which leads to the increase in self motivation. 

3. KEEP A LOG



To keep yourself stick to your fitness routine, it is important to keep a track of the no. of days you hit the gym and the no. of days you missed it. The best way to do this is, have a calendar in your room, as soon as you come back from the gym, mark a tick on the respective date and the day you miss your gym, mark a "nice big red cross" for yourself on the calendar for that very date. Now, who wants to see something like a huge red cross on a well scheduled  chart?!
So, the next time when you think about taking a day off , i guess that big red cross will flash in front of your eyes and will stop you from missing upon your gym routine.

4. DO IT FOR THE AFTER PICTURES 

The best way to motivate yourself is the urge to see the results. When we imagine ourselves being in a situation, in which we always wanted to be or when we imagine the happiness which we'll experience once we achieve our goal, it automatically encourages us to work harder and give our 100% to it. In the same way, when we imagine ourselves with a perfect body and the satisfaction that will come along,it pushes us to work harder and convert our imagination into reality! The great way to track your results is by clicking before and after pictures. The more you see the change , the harder you work for it!

5. MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES AND FITNESS PAGES

When we go through some truly motivating and inspiring quotes again and again , it becomes a part of our unconscious mind ,which starts reflecting in our personality! When we think about some thing and strongly believe in it , we start to work accordingly. So, reading various motivational quotes or success stories can really inspire you to apply it to your life and to create your own success story!!
