Exercise: Even If You Don't Feel Like Doing It

Exercise: Even If You Don't Feel Like Doing It

I know that I will not be alone when I say that realistically there are times when we don't feel like we want to carry dumbbells, or step on a treadmill, or simply just do push ups, right? Yes, there are times when we don't really feel like exercising and moving an inch of our smallest muscles.

But then of course, there is this nagging feeling inside us that we need to exercise, but the feeling of not liking to do it can also be so persistent and strong that you finally decided to sidestep one session. And another. And still another. But then, wait! This should not be the case when we want to lose weight right?

Yes, it is a fact that sometimes the motivation and the drive to continue on with an exercise regime can be really missing. In this routine, without motivation and drive, even the greatest types and styles of workouts will not get us anywhere closer to our goal. So, the question will be, how do we stay motivated and full of drive when in actuality is that you don't really feel like working out in the first place? Given below are some ideas that may help you in overcoming this "little" hurdle in the whole yard of obstacle courses.

Idea#1. Think of it this way, what is better, doing a little thing or not doing anything at all? Of course, it would be the former. Doing even little effort is certainly better than not doing anything at all. This will mean and naturally show us that during those days when you just don't feel like moving, force yourself to even do a small thing. Like if your exercise routine is normally 1-2 hours a day, when you don't like doing it, just have a 30-minute session instead. But then do not forget to remind yourself not to do this again since it might become your habit. And if it becomes your habit, what will happen to your goal?

Idea#2. Speaking of goals, try starting off with small ones first. There are times when you have set a huge goal; chances are you will become tired right away before even getting to its half. If your goal is to lose pounds, do not start your goal with losing 50lbs right away, try starting off with 5-8 for three weeks first, then slowly move on the next. Yes, long term goals can be a great idea but to make and start with smaller ones can make it easier for you to see easily your progress.

Idea#3. Planning can be helpful too. Before you start any routine, it would be better if you will have a set plan first. It is already hard to start a routine, what can be even harder is when you don't know where and how to start. Having a pre-exercise plan will keep your mind off thinking and go towards action.

Idea#4. Create variety. Variety is said to be the mother of all enjoyment. If you plan to enjoy your exercise and not just simply doing it on rote method, then create a variety of things that you can do. Stop doing the same things everyday of your exercising life. This will lead to boredom and to ultimately stopping or not feeling like to do it again in the long run. When things get to go boring, what do you usually do? Either stay away from those things or creating new ones, right? And the second choice will always prove to be better than the first.

You see now? Exercising should never be looked at as something that you have to do rather than something that you want to do. If you are intent on achieving your goal, start it by helping yourself with all the motivation and drive that you will need.
