You can fall in love with basically everything out there - so why is falling in love with fitness difficult among many? People think it's too much work, don't have the time, or do it wrong. Whatever the case may be, it's never too late to change your perception. Here are the best tips to fall in love with fitness today!
Get Up & Do it
Love takes time to build, but you can jump start your relationship with fitness by getting up and getting it done early. Exercise first thing in the morning right when you wake up, that way you always have time for it and it's a part of your schedule now. You can carry on with all your other activities later in the day, knowing you put fitness first. Making fitness a habit will help you show improvement, and will keep you obligated to this commitment instead of just skipping it. You can also tap into your fitness community and have others hold you accountable for meeting your health and fitness goals. As time goes on, you will start to love yourself for working out every morning and feel weird when you don't do it.
Pick Your Favorite Workouts & Outfit
The saying, "When you look good, you feel good," can also be applied when falling in love with fitness. Purchasing cute workout gear and dressing up in your favorite attire can be the exact motivation you need to hit the gym. Especially bright and cheerful colors can put you in the greatest mood. In addition to loving your outfit, you should also pick your favorite workouts to do. You can't fall in love with something unless you actually enjoy what you're doing. Why torture yourself with something you hate? Find which type of exercises you get joy out of doing, and stick to those.
Rest & Recover
Furthermore, you will be better able to love your workouts, and perform better, if you actually give your muscles a chance to rest. Take recovery days from the gym, complete an easy walk after a tough session, and most importantly - get enough sleep! If you push yourself too hard at the gym to the point you can't move, you will lose motivation and start to not like working out. Fitness should always make you feel good, so fall in love with it the right way.
