How to be motivated to go to the gym?

[Canada EH]

You just gotta act cool, its easy to do. You have to time your moves perfectly, and know what to say when the times comes. Also have the lingo down so she can relate to you, and she knows that you know your stuff.

Whenever I usually watch something On the subject, I get motivated,

 

Keep your motivation around you. Put posters up with motivational pictures, thoughts/ideas.

 

I'M no expert. But surely it would help to surround yourself more with motivating subject matter.

I used to walk quite a lot actually, I don't why I stopped.

There is no better time to start again than now. Walking is great and while it may not be the most effective method of exercise just getting outside is good.

Just imagine how good looking you are when you've finally achieved your desired body goals. But then again, always have attainable and realistic goals and expectations. Nothing comes off easy and that includes weight loss.

Pop in some tunes (wireless earbuds help A LOT with this) and tell yourself that you just have to go. You cant say no or do anything else. Set aside a specific time where you have to go no matter what you tell yourself. I used this method to on days that I didnt want to and while it was really hard to start, it becomes kind of fun. Oh and I would also try cycling because you get so far out and the only way back is to ride back and it gives you more motivation to push yourself. Literally the hardest part is getting started whenever you want to do anything.

Find a friend and go together. Then you will motivate each other not to skip a gym day.

Like everyone else has said JUST DO IT, i started going the gym last August. 5 days a week with weekends as rest days, the answers simple. Don't think about it, accept that it's a part of your life and not a commitment that you have to fulfill. When you start thinking that it's as normal as getting a shower then it doesn't become a chore.

 

Also like everyone else has said find something you enjoy about it, for me I love to lift and center a large part of my workout to weights. Lifting makes me feel good and gives me a massive confidence boost, when I do cardio it's a completely different story. I hate every second of it.

Normally I just sit in the shed and watch some Utubes on my wireless buuuds.

Cept lately... 6 months ago or so,.. started hitting the weights again (start High, end up on low level weights, back up,..and down) and just throw on some music for a good hour while doing that..Easy to maintain,.. I'm always in here Tubing the Nexus/Unboxed crowds..

 

Basically I just noticed some pockets of time I can be doing multiple things,..and if I really need to focus, easy, as I already had started.

Hello everyone. 

 

I am in a situation where I need get motivated to go to the gym..My current weight is at 95KG, overweight by 20KG. I sit most of the days at home, I do not move as much as I should. I get up every 2 hours to the toilet or I eat more food. After that I either go back onto my PC or lay on my bed. The thing is, when I do go gym, I got for a couple of weeks then I loose motivation and I completely stop going at all. So how do gain my motivation back? I've asked my friends if they want to go, they all go to different gyms far from where I live. I do drink a lot of water during the day, I do not drink fizzy drinks, if I do I do not finish the can. 

 

I need some help.  For anyone asking I'm in Harrow, UK.

I can't stand the gym, never liked it. I do bike ride almost everyday for general fitness and to get out of the house, especially when the weather is nice.
