It’s no secret that exercise is important for your physical and mental health. Yet it can be hard to stay motivated, especially on busy or less energetic days. At You. The Gym in Arnhem we understand that and that’s why our experienced personal trainers share their best tips to keep your motivation high.
1. Set achievable goals
One of the biggest mistakes people make is setting unrealistic goals. This causes you to get discouraged faster. Start with small, achievable goals that you can celebrate as soon as you achieve them. For example:
– Short-term goal: Exercise twice a week for one month.
– Long-term goal: Run a half marathon or achieve a specific weight.
Every step forward is a victory that brings you closer to your final goal.
2. Make exercise part of your routine
Consistency is the key to success. Choose set days and times for your workouts so that it becomes a habit. Try to schedule your workouts around other daily activities. An example:
– Morning sessions before going to work.
– Evening workouts to end your day.
The more you incorporate exercise into your routine, the less it feels like an obligation.
3. Find an exercise buddy or join a group
Playing sports together not only makes it more fun, but also makes you feel responsibility to another person. At You. The Gym we offer Small Group Training, allowing you to train in a fun setting with people who each have their own goals.
Benefits of exercising together:
– Additional motivation due to group dynamics.
– Support and encouragement from others.
– It makes sports a social activity.
4. Keep track of your progress
Nothing is more motivating than seeing how far you’ve come. Use a fitness app, a workout log, or have your results measured by your personal trainer. At You. The Gym we do regular evaluations to monitor your progress.
What you can track:
– Weight and body measurements.
– Number of repetitions or weights during exercises.
– Your energy level and how you feel after exercising.
5. Reward yourself
Treat yourself to something nice when you reach a milestone. This can be something small, like a new sports outfit, or something bigger, like a day at the spa. Rewards give you an extra reason to reach your goals.
