NO DESIRE TO TRAIN, BUT DO YOU HAVE TO FROM YOURSELF?

This is how you get motivated

Of course, I also sometimes throw my iPhone in a corner when the alarm goes off and I peacefully snore for another hour. It doesn't have to, you know. No one tells you that you have to work up a sweat every day. Only you do, so you are also the only one who can do something about it. Well, if you have an appointment at the gym or with a sports friend, then it is polite to be there. Okay, there are moments when you really don't feel like it. For example, when you're still at work, feeling a bit sluggish, and not looking forward to the body pump class (just an example) that you booked.

With these tricks, you'll get a bit of motivation back, because what I can tell you is; once you have it behind you (whatever sport it is), it gives such an amazing feeling!

- I mentioned it earlier; a good motivator is to make an appointment with someone. So you go to that class together. In any case, you can't be a no-show.

- If you're chatting with someone, tell them that you're going to work out (‘Hey mom! I'm going to work out today, good right?’). The other person doesn't even have to join, but once you've said it, you (hopefully) can't back out.

- It also helps if you already swap your regular shoes for your sports shoes. Then you're almost there. Even though you have to take them off in the gym first to put on your gym outfit.

- Make sure you have something fun planned after working out that you can see as a kind of treat.

- If you had an hour of cardio in mind, you can often just watch TV for an hour at the gym while working out on a machine, so to speak. Go at a time when there's a fun series or program on TV.

- Lay out your sports clothes in the morning and put them in your bag. The excuse ’I have to stop by home first‘ doesn't need to be made then.

- Just a little more on the sportswear. Seriously buy a nice outfit. That also motivates things.

- Put on a nice up-tempo song in your ears. That gives you energy!

- Repeat in your head that you want to enjoy sun, sea, and beach and that you want to lie in your bikini looking good.

- Open Instagram and search for the hashtag ‘fitgirl’. There you go.
