Staying motivated to exercise can be one of the most difficult problems that people face after starting their fitness journey. Many people start an exercise routine highly motivated to make dramatic improvements to their health, however their motivation may drop exponentially after two or three weeks.Why does this happen to so many people? There are six primary reasons as to why this happens.1. Results are not achieved immediatelyThe biggest reason that people lose their motivation is because they do not see results right away. We live in a society that favors instant gratification. If things don't happen quickly most people assume that their efforts are not moving them towards their goal of losing weight and getting fit.2. Calorie tracking and nutritional guidelines are overlookedIn order to ensure that results come over time, one must combine regular exercise with calorie counting. Many people do not realize that tremendous amounts of energy spent exercising can be wasted if the number of calories they are burning does not exceed the number of calories consumed. Calculating and tracking calorie consumption is crucial to weight loss and weight management. Also, it is important to realize that all calories are not equal - the body reacts differently to certain foods. One must make an effort to learn what to eat in order to reach their goals.3. Lack of consistencyIt is vital to have an exercise schedule and stick with it. Enrolling in a fitness class, joining a gym, hiring a personal trainer, or purchasing a home workout program that has a set schedule can help solve this problem. The key is making exercise a priority and committing to a set schedule. This requires allocating a certain amount of time each day toward exercise.4. Lack of a clearly defined goalOne must know exactly what their fitness goals are and have a timeline for achieving them. To change one's behavior, decision making process, and core values, one must write down their goal and review it on a daily basis.5. No accountability partnerHaving a partner who shares similar goals can help you stay on track and maintain focus while on your journey. Alternatively one can seek out a personal trainer or find an online fitness coach for nutrition advice, guidance, and motivation.6. Lack of beliefWhen one has repeatedly failed in striving for their goals, their belief that they can achieve them may begin to wane. Everyone is capable of achieving whatever they want in life - embracing this idea is the key to maintaining motivation. It is vital to remember that your daily efforts will add up over time and eventually your goal will be reached.Anyone can achieve extraordinary health.
