Not motivated to do exercise...

I was EXACTLY the same, you may not think it, but you are not the only one who wants to lose a few dress sizes and to be toned.

The Gym - Daunting Place!
I go to the gym and I just stand there for a minute and think........ "why me?" why am i here? what have I done to deserve this?
And the answer was there, right there!
The answer was in fact ME. Hard to admit it, but I'm the one who got overweight, I'm the one, who couldn't help herself, but to indulge into fast food, junk food and fizzy drinks. It's been my fault and I am the one to blame.

So I thought it was in fact, time to take action.... YES TAKE ACTION!!!

My steps into being Motivated and Taking Action!

1.)Eat Healthy
I would say cut down portions for now. Eat lots of fruit, keep hydrated (drinking water that means!. Eat salads, the best thing about salads are that they are full of water, especially the lettuce! I love a good chicken caesar salad yum yum yumm :)

2.) Update some Upbeat Tunes onto your Ipod etc
You would not think it, but this has helped me so SO much! literally, when you are listening to fast tracks, with the volume up - you feel so motivated! Well I do!
Set up a gym playist on your ipod! Here's a few tracks to help you:

  • jessie Ware - Running (Disclosure remix)
  • Push the Feeling On - Nightcrawlers
  • Redlight - Lost In Your Love
  • Wearing My Rolex - Wiley
  • Gold Dust - DJ Fresh
  • Katy On a Mission - Katy B
  • Sub Focus - Out of the Blue ft Alice Gold
  • Thinking about you(ft Ayah Marar) - Calvin Harris
  • Sweet Nothing(ft Florence Welch) - Calvin Harris
  • Don't you worry child - Swedish House Mafia
  • U sure do - Strike
3.) Find a Gym Partner
Doing the gym with someone else is so much more rewarding, yes you may have a giggle about things, but you feel more motivated and relaxed knowing that you know someone who is at the gym.

4.)Get some good trainers
I know this may sound silly, but having some trainers you like, make you feel more excited to train and want to tone or lose weight. Really!!

5.)Having a Gym-free day
Not going to the gym because you a busy or whatever, doesn't stop you from doing some exercise at home. A few steps on your stairs, a few sit ups, or even purchase a yoga ball! 

You need to be determined and in the right frame of mind in order to achieve your goals.
All of these steps are what I am trying to achieve now, so wish me good luck! haha

If anyone has any other music recommendations, please leave a comment, I'd love to find some more great tracks:)
