Motivation

So I was going to head into the deep dark waters of supplements, gym exercises and toning. But first I thought I'd  take a quick look at the most important thing when getting into any sort of fitness/training routine in the gym.

Motivation is everything. 

So before you start making those meal plans and exercise routines make sure you have it. It doesn't matter what it is; it could be a goal to work towards or even a person that inspires you. Motivation equals drive. As long as you have it and as long as it's strong you will not fail. If you don't have it however, or if it's not consistent enough, no amount of planning will stop you from inevitably giving up a couple of months down the line.

At a guess most of you go to the gym because you are in some way unhappy with what you see in the mirror. Use those negative feelings and turn them into something positive. You don't like what you see? Get up and change it. No one else is going to do it for you. Every time you find yourself making excuses not to go and train take a look in that mirror and ask yourself: do I want to look like this forever? Do I want feel like this forever? Because you will if you don't drag yourself out of the house to train.

NO excuses.

When you start repeatedly making excuses not to exercise or to follow your meal plan you're only cheating yourself. The only person who will suffer is you. No amount of moaning and complaining about 'not having time' will change the fact that you have not trained. If you don't train you won't see any results; it's just that simple. So stop with the damn excuses.

And just think a few months down the line all that hard work will pay off. You're confidence will sky rocket and you will feel much healthier. You'll be able look in that mirror and feel on top of the world. How do I know this? Because that is what I can do every single day. When I look in the mirror I like what I see and I honestly can't describe how good that feels.
