One of the most valuable lessons I have learned with regard to fitness is that you simply CANNOT sit back and wait for the motivation to strike you, I did that for years and it got me NOWHERE!
I have ALWAYS been a FANTASTIC 'start'-er - I think most people are...
I would go ALL-IN...for a little bit...until life got in the way...
When starting anything there is an excitement that compels or 'motivates' you to do it - they say chemicals in the brain actually give you an extra 'push'...
When the "newness" wears off however...it is left up to YOU to create & maintain momentum...all too often, this is the point where I would find myself reverting back old habits... (patiently waiting for 'motivation' to strike again)
When I got REAL with myself about what I wanted, created SMART goals, and began making changes - I realized that motivation can be found on the way!
These are some of my FAV tips for creating & maintaining motivation in fitness!
