1. Have a plan.
By planning out what youare going to do at the gym,
you know exactly howmuch time you will need,
providing yourself with thepotential to have a
scheduled and punctualday.
2. Wear your workout clothes to bed.
Sleeping in your workoutclothes can save youprecious time in the
morning! And honestlywhen you're already
dressed, you're takingone less obstacle out of
the way.
Just do it.
3. Don't make it a choice.The big difference between thosewho go to the gym and get it done
and those who don’t and feelguilty later is that those
dedicated exercisers Just. Do. It. It's not optional. It's not "Oh, if Ifeel like it, I'll wake up and workout tomorrow." They make thedecision the night before. And
when it's time to wake up and go,that's that.
4. Collaborate with a friend.
Having a gym buddy is not only a good motivator, it alsohelps to keep you accountable! It is easy to change your
mind on your own plans and tell yourself, ‘I’ll just work outtomorrow instead’ but when you have plans to meet a
friend at 6 and go to that yoga class together, nowcancelling those plans means a whole lot more.
5. Keep your workout fresh.
By rearranging yourroutines, it keeps things
more refreshing andutilizes MORE muscles in
your body. For example, tryrunning a few days, riding abike other days, focusing onweights another, and so on.It keeps things a little moreentertaining and helps fill
the time!
