“I’m so out of shape, I really need to workout.”
While ranting at yourself about how unfit you are may seem like a good method to motivate yourself to exercise, it's actually a poor move.
It not only makes you feel bad, but it also doesn't work. 🙅♀️
Sure, you may be able to shame yourself into a workout or two. However, negative self-talk is demotivating in the long run and frequently coincides with cycles of laziness and comfort eating.
✨ This is why you should workout because you love your body, not because you hate it! ✨
Once you make that internal shift and begin to workout because you love your body rather than because you hate it, you will enter a whole new world of motivation and enjoyment.
Now is the time to start focusing on feeling good about yourself, and exercise doesn’t have to mean going to the gym or running a marathon! You could try:
🔹Rock climbing
🔹Jump rope
🔹Bike riding
🔹Trampolining
🔹Hiking
🔹Roller Skating
🔹Kayaking
🔹Skiing
🔹Power walking
🔹Martial arts
🔹Pole fitness
🔹Swimming
🔹Playing golf
And the list goes on!
Find what works for you, and do it because you love your body. Not because you hate it. 💕
