Motivation is an important factor when it comes to sticking with your workout routine. If you find yourself consistently putting off exercise due to a lack of motivation, then it’s important to seek out the right kind of motivation. You can do this by finding an effective source of motivation that makes sense for your lifestyle, resources and current fitness level. For example, you may not be able to commit to five evening workouts at the gym if you have a busy family life or health concerns. Instead, you can work towards a goal that feels meaningful to you such as doing 20 push-ups on your toes.

When it comes to pursuing your fitness goals, don’t forget to celebrate the small victories. For instance, even if you’re struggling to reach your ultimate goal of losing 20kg, if you’ve been able to jog for 20 minutes then that is still an impressive achievement! It’s also important to have a secondary fitness goal in mind, just in case your primary goal takes longer to achieve.
