I just started school this week and wow I am swamped! Four advanced classes and 3 of them are college courses! I promise that even tough I have a touch schedule, I will have time to post for you all.
Today's topic is under my new chapter called "Motivation Station". Im really excited for my new chapter because I will be able to show you easy motivation and how to have fun while trying to get back in your workout groove! No more boring workouts and silly routines. Here is how you can get fired up about shaping the new you or just spicing things up a bit.
Recently I have a new addiction to Pinterest! OMG IT'S AMAZING! This will be our "equipment" for the day!
Here is what you can do:
- -If you don't have Pinterest, GET IT NOW! YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
- -Start a "Board" and title it whatever your want. For instance mine is "Fitness".
- -Starting surfing! Find things that speak to you! There are tons of workouts and activities that you can do. When you find something you like, PIN IT!
- -After you have created a "Board" of about 15 or more pins, here is when you start "spicing things up".
- -Start going in whatever order you want (top to bottom, bottom to top etc..) and do that workout you have posted. Each day you will have a new pin to do which will keep you more engaged into your workout. I think of it like a "flash challenge" each day is different so how could you get bored?! The key to not getting bored of a workout is MIXING IT UP! Try new things! Engage new parts of your body and push it!
If you aren't the Pinterest type person try these!:
- - One pound of fat is 3,500 calories. If you want to loose weight, just burn 500 calories a day more than you eat and you will loose 1 pound a week. FITNESS IS SCIENCE, NOT MAGIC!
- - Put a dollar in a jar for every time you complete a workout when you reach a certain goal, say 100 dollars, treat yourself to a massage or a new pair of jeans!
- - Wear neon colors while working out. Studies have shown that when wearing bright colors during a workout, your body increases adrenaline!
- - Think of your workouts as meetings you have scheduled with yourself. Bosses don't cancel.
- - Think from new perspective. A one hour workout is just 4% percent of your day.
- - Take sticky notes and write motivational saying on them and stick them on the treadmill or at your desk so you can see them everyday.
These are just a few of many types of motivational techniques that you can use today! Get on that computer, get to that Pinterest and START GETTING YOUR MOTIVATION ON!
Have a great day:)
