How ya feelin’? If your answer was anything other than duckin amazing, let me ask you again...

How ya feelin’? There we go that’s better! That’s what I like to hear!!!

So back to your question, how do you stay motivated in the gym? It can be difficult sometimes if you don’t know what motivation is. I think of motivation as something to get you started, and keep you going. Even when you don’t feel like it.

To stay motivated you need to set clear expectations. These three tips will help you be more consistent, see progress, and most of all have fun!

First up, plan ahead. Having a simple plan in place that takes guessing out of the equation makes a huge difference. Instead of saying you’ll workout three times this week and leaving it to chance, plan those days. Plan what days you’re going to the gym, what times, and what workouts you will do on each of those days. Schedule it and set alarms to help you remind yourself. Having this plan will take the guesswork out of your gym routine and make it more enjoyable.

Next up, we need to define your progress. Because let’s be honest, if you’re not seeing results it’s gonna be hard to stay motivated in the gym. So we need to set some standards for what progress is and how to measure it. Let’s measure your progress  in three ways. Take progress photos, keep track of how your clothes fit, and start a journal with how you feel.

It ain’t no fun if the weights don’t have none! Have fun with your workouts! Try new exercises! Take a friend with you! Because let’s be real for a second, if it’s not fun, there’s no way you’ll keep going. When was the last time you hated doing something and kept going back for more? Exactly.

So there you have it, use these three tips to help you get motivated and stay that way!
