Jump Start Your Work Out!

Our lifestyles have become so busy and hectic that there’s hardly any time left for any sort of activity, whether it’s a social call or a fitness routine. With the majority of women working, and sometimes taking on two jobs at a time, most of their time is spent shuffling responsibilities between home and work.

As a result, exercise and workouts are neglected leaving us feeling lazy, obese and unhealthy. Due to leading an inactive lifestyle and despite the fact that we know that we need to and should workout, most of us tend to procrastinate this task. The consequence: we never get around to any sort of workout regime.

The trick here is to give your body a jolt, and jumpstart an effective and comprehensive workout plan.

To start, it’s important to acknowledge the need for a workout regime. Once you have convinced yourself that you need to exercise, it will be far easier to remain committed to your goals as opposed to pushing yourself or being pushed into taking workout classes by family or friends when it’s not really something you consider a priority. In other words, you must have the “I can do it” attitude and have the “I’m ready to do this” mindset.

The second critical step is to identify a workout program that suits your needs as well as your energy levels. Opting for something that is extremely strenuous or taxing right from the start might get difficult for you to carry on in the long run. Choose a workout program that involves easy but effective exercises in the beginning, and gradually, with time, you can increase the difficulty levels—this way, you won’t ever feel discouraged or overwhelmed.

Another effective way to jumpstart a workout is to ensure that you have all the equipment you need ready on hand. This will ensure that you do not further delay the task by giving the, “…but I’m not prepared!” excuse. Setting definite goals for yourself and asking your family, friends or your coach to ensure that you follow them can also act as an effective motivational tool that will keep you in check and on track to achieving your weight goals.

Your workout environment also plays a very important role and can either encourage or discourage you from exercising. Make sure that the workout environment that you choose, irrespective of whether it’s your local gym or an outdoor park, is someplace you like, feel comfortable in and motivates you to keep at it on a regular basis.

Keep track of your progress by keeping a journal; this can encourage you to keep going. When you feel like your workouts aren’t helping you lose weight, look back through your journal and see what you’ve accomplished. There will be plateaus; the real challenge is in not letting them bring you down.

A healthy meal plan also plays a critical role here. If your new diet includes literally no food, it obviously will become difficult to continue your workout program and keep your energy levels high. Likewise, eating too much unhealthy food will make you feel lazy, too full and unenergetic. Therefore, a healthy and a nutritious meal plan coupled with regular exercise is key in staying healthy and keeping you feeling and looking great.

The main principle of working out on a regular basis is to be motivated by constantly reminding yourself of the benefits as well as the happiness you will achieve once you accomplish your ultimate workout goal. Stay motivated, stay positive, keep at it and it will become another part of your daily routine, like brushing your teeth and showering before work, that you will find difficult to skip.
