• We all know about the numerous benefits of
  exercise, from developing an enhanced physique to
  improved mental and physical health, but
  sometimes this knowledge alone isnt enough to
  avoid the dreaded burnout. But it doesnt have to
  be difficult, and luckily there are plenty of
  ways to stay motivated even when youre not
  feeling up to it. Motivation is always easier
  when youre equipped with the right tools!

• Sometimes when starting a new workout plan, we
  dive in head-first without first considering the
  possibility of potential burnout later down the
  road.
• Begin a new regimen by starting off small and
  work your way up.
• Set smaller goals and slowly increase the size of
  future goals as you advance so you can fully
  recognize your improvements.
• When workout burnout sets in, tell yourself
  youll only exercise for 15 minutes. Getting
  started is often the hardest part, but once you
  find yourself in the middle of an uplifting
  workout, its easier to keep going.

• Too much of anything can be a bad thing, and
  thats why its important to mix up your routine.
  As the old saying goes, variety is the spice of
  life.
• If you spend all of your time running on the
  treadmill, try weightlifting or group classes
  instead.
• Look into new and exciting fitness routines that
  offer something a little different. Consider
  ballroom dancing, karaoke workouts, hiking,
  kickboxing, swimming, or hula hooping.
• If youve exhausted every option your gym has to
  offer, set goals that dont involve your usual
  workout spot. Train for a marathon or join a
  bicycling event with other likeminded people.

• Recent advancement in technology is making our
  lives easier and more convenient than ever
  before. If you need a little push, your
  smartphone could prove worthy of more than just
  important communications and silly distractions.
• Browse the apps available on your phone to find
  fitness trackers and motivators to help you set
  new goals and stay motivated.
• Join an online community that offers a safe space
  for people like yourself to inspire one another
  to stay on track.
• Consider subscribing to video fitness apps
  available on devices like Apple TV and Roku for
  when you dont feel like leaving the house.

Avoid a Heavy Lunch

• Ah, lunch Everyones favorite part of the work
  day. But are you using this break time to your
  full advantage?
• Eating too much during lunchtime can lead you to
  feeling tired and listless afterward. Make a
  change in your diet plan to eat a lighter lunch
  and plan for small snacks like low sugar protein
  bars if you find yourself feeling hungry later in
  the day.
• If youre the type of person who eats lunch at
  your desk, find a gym close to your workplace so
  you can squeeze in a small workout during your
  break.
• Smoking can also drain you of energy. If you
  often use your lunchtime as an excuse to take a
  cigarette break, reach out for support and devise
  a plan to eliminate this unhealthy habit from
  your life completely.

• We all like to think we can do it alone, but
  sometimes it takes another person to help us in
  getting where we need to go.
• Contact friends and relatives to see if they
  might also be looking to start or improve their
  fitness routine.
• Look into hiring a personal trainer that will
  hold you accountable for those days when you
  dont feel like hitting the gym.
• Talk to HR in your workplace about setting up a
  program for employees to achieve a healthier
  lifestyle.

• With a seemingly never-ending flurry of thoughts
  often flying around our heads, sometimes it helps
  to transfer those ideas to paper to get clarity
  on our ultimate objectives.
• Take out a pen and paper and write down exactly
  what you intend to change in your physical life,
  and how you can go about achieving those goals.
• Hold yourself responsible by drafting a contract
  that includes incentives for motivation, such as
  having to pay your friend 20 every time you skip
  a workout.
• On days when you cant muster up the energy to
  get up and go, refer to your contract as a
  reminder of the commitments youve previously set
  for yourself.

• Sometimes all it takes is a little pick-me-up to
  feel inspired once again. A reward system can
  greatly benefit your desire to improve your
  lifestyle.
• Identify what you would like to buy, but wouldnt
  otherwise purchase because its a frivolous
  luxury and not a must-have necessity.
• Set bi-weekly or bi-monthly rewards you can look
  forward to by following through with your workout
  goals.
• Start off small, then offer yourself even greater
  rewards the further you progress so you always
  have something to work toward.
