How do I Stay Motivated?

Welcome back!
Now that we are aware of why we should become motivated, here are ways of how we could stay motivated, and keep fitness our main focus in mind. Firstly, we should know what we are trying to get to, our goal. It could either be to lose weight or to gain muscles, or it could be both. There are other reasons of why people workout, such as to improve their breathing, boost up their energy or even memory, lower their anxiety, etc... Once we know what we are trying to reach physically, we make a schedule. We could google what we are supposed to do, but there will be no need for that unless you are trying to find a specific schedule of a certain muscle, but besides that, I will be saying generally what to do, so you will just have to follow me!

In order to loose weight, cardio is what is mostly recommended. To begin, cardio, is physical exercise which makes the heart start pounding at fast pace, working hard. I consider cardio very fun and from my personal experiences, you will begin realizing that you will want to run more on the treadmill. Also, if you were to keep track of your scores, which are the amount of miles, speed and time it had taken, you will improve and you will want to keep going while running to simply beat the last run you had ran. You will keep challenging yourself. There are other options to cardio machines acting as the treadmill, like mentioned before, the stairs, the elliptical, etc... Furthermore, there aren't only machines for cardio, there are schedules as well! Take a look at this picture below.

Instead of focusing mostly on machines, you could follow a schedule that does the same effect. Moving on to gaining muscles, you are able to use every machine at the gym, as long as you follow the couple instructions, (which are usually on the front) mentioning the proper way to use that machine in order to not pull a muscle or cause other harm to your body. There is always the option to grab the weights on the side and create your own exercises. Also, each machine works out a specific muscle, and you will apprehend that there are machines you will like much more than others. That is because you could be doing something on a daily basis that already works out that muscle and you haven't even realized, and the weight you had set up on that machine is heavy, unlike other muscles.

Besides, other ways to keep moving are to try to be inspired. Make an effort to watch some youtubers' videos and look at others people's before and after pictures. You can surely find the schedules they used. Also, think of the future body you will have. That should be very motivating and helpful. Keep a picture in mind of a body you want to look like to keep you going.

Finally, enjoy it! Make it fun! If you stick to a same schedule all day everyday, you will get tired of it and you will want to try something new. Find other schedules, spice it up a bit, and it will be more entertaining for yourself. Try to challenge yourself!

Why Should I Become Motivated?

As mentioned earlier, I will talk about why we should become motivated to workout and get that perfect body. In my opinion, it is very important because firstly, it affects our health. It is very healthy and decreases many risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases. I think these are important to consider, knowing that there are many fast food restaurants know a days, and they cause much harm towards our health.

Speaking about fast food, if you are they type of person that eats from fast food restaurants daily and without doing much or any exercises, it will lead you to obesity and then you'll become more and more lazy, and there is a chance that obesity can also cause death. I know that this is not something we look forward to, especially when our main goal is getting fit. I also think that obesity is not so attractive. Also, you will age early and then life becomes harder and the opposite of what we want begins to happen, such as a lower self-confidence and a not so toned body. Although, we could have cheat meals every once in a while, but not always. Therefore, my thoughts are to try our best to not eat from unhealthy places and plus we all don't want to age early. I also know that working out causes a lot of physical changes, and for the best. 

There's another reason, confidence. I think it's enormously important that we feel confident in our own body, and once we achieve results we will have a higher self-confidence. The reason why, is because without self-confidence, we are not pleased nor ever satisfied with ourselves. Also, there will always be the thought of thinking we could have done better, and that we didn't try hard enough, and it's not such a great feeling. Working out will take every bit of motivation we've got, and we will have to deal with it, in order to become the greatest we can! 

                                     CONFIDENCE IS KEY

Lastly, we should workout for the feeling we get just after our workout! It's an amazing feeling, trust me, I know from previous experience. You feel like you've done such a great achievement in your life, and imagine that feeling. Yes, it's true later on, we will feel extremely sore, but hey, workout today for a better tomorrow! That soreness will eventually leave the body after a couple of days.

Motivational Video by Ahsley Nocera

Before I begin, I wanted to give a little introduction to you guys about Ashley Nocera. She is a World's Beauty Fitness and Fashion (WBFF) Pro. The reason why I am giving this information, is because she is personally my inspiration. You guys will notice that many of my pictures will be about her. She is a great and entertaining person, you can check her youtube videos to know more about her if you would like. Anyway, this blog will contain many information such as why people should become motivate to working out, how they should stay motivated, the essential nutriments they may need, the different types of bodies and workout schedules, the correct and incorrect way to do specific workouts, the muscles trained, etc...

                                                   FOCUS

I personally find working out very important because we build a lot more muscle than when we play a certain sport. When we work out, we are capable to make each and every muscle in our body grow, unlike sports. There are many muscles in the body, and there is no sport in the world that works them all out, or helps to develop them all.

                                              STRENGTH

An example of a sport is soccer. In that sport, the main muscle which is developing are the legs. The arms are not in the process of growing, nor becoming stronger. It is true that the players use their arms to stay in control of the ball and have balance, but their arms are not strong. Although, there is a sport which is the nearest in making each muscle grow, it is swimming. Swimming helps develop the back, legs, arms and most of the major muscles. But once again, it can't because there are always minor muscles who need specific ways to be trained, in order to grow.

     

Working out gives you a lot of confidence. It will all start to feel better and you will notice that you will start taking it as a habit. Until next time!
