Yesterday I was reflecting on my relationship with working out. How a few months ago I would always be so in my head all the time, loathing working out and now I love it, it’s less about losing weight and more about moving. How i do a different workout everyday day and I think about what muscle am I going to challenge today, how much stronger am I since my last workout. My mind has totally shifted wrt my motivation for working out. I am addicted to the post workout endorphins and I’m so grateful that I am at this point! The mental hurdle was the biggest barrier. I needed to stop doing video workouts. I needed to stop thinking that I needed to do 10 different exercises in order for my workout to count. Those things demotivated me because it looked long and tough. Instead I took 5-6 workouts, that way it is easy to remember and i did as many sets as I could. That way things are simple, less complicated and that’s what made the difference for me. Since applying this to my workouts my motivation has changed.
