Swimming Fitness Motivation – How To Never Talk Yourself Out Of A Workout

For those of us who choose swimming as a way to maintain a healthy fitness level

, motivation to get to the pool doesn't always come easy. As with any sport consistency is what creates results, and swimming is no different.

If you are determined to get back into great physical shape, and really live a healthy lifestyle, the first thing you need to do is create a set of goals. Figure out what you want to accomplish and where you want to be in a month, 3 months from now, and 6 months from now. Once you have those goals in place, figure out what you need to do on a daily basis to reach those goals.

This is the easy part and it seems so simple its almost common sense, BUT sticking to your guns and actually achieving your goals is really the hard part. That's where people most often fall short.

So here's what you need to do to make sure you reach the goals you set for yourself. Create a plan for how often you plan on swimming each week, including the distance you plan on swimming, and let nothing come between you and those workouts. Now obviously certain situations may arise that make it completely impossible to get your swim workout in, but those are usually out of your control. What is in your control are the situations where we just talk ourselves out of working out.

"I don't like getting up early" "I had such a long work day" "I'M TIRED" "I'm just too stressed out"

If you let your mind make up excuses, you'll find that you easily talk yourself out of going for a swim. When I first got back in the water, I found myself doing this all of the time until I finally took a stand. I decided I was going to get at least 4 swim workouts in each week and I just made it happen.

If I had a long day at work, I told myself I had no choice and not going wasn't an option. When I had a stressful day or two, I took that built up stressful energy and I used it to have a great swim workout. Those "stressed filled days" are the best days to workout because you'll have more energy than you can possibly imagine, and afterwards you're mind and body will feel clear, centered and at peace.

It's really a great feeling when YOU are in control of your mind and body; amazing things can start to happen. Be aware of your mind & thoughts, and stay focused on your goals. All of the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place once you accomplish that.
