So it is the end of week four of the semester and you still haven’t been to the gym. Why is that? Is it because you have been making excuses? Too busy of a schedule? Can’t manage your time right? Let me tell you, if you keep making excuses, chances are you will never go. Working out releases stress and endorphins which make you more relaxed and happy. Here are 4 ways to make sure you get to the gym.
1. Go in the morning
Yes, you may want to catch some extra z’s and not want to get up earlier than normal. However, if you think about it the time aspect and you “don’t have enough time to go to the gym,” waking up an hour earlier than normal to workout will not kill you.
2. Start out by going a few days a week
If you decide that you really want to get into exercising, start by going a few days a week. Or even if you really can’t find the time, going for at least a few days a week may be your answer. Once you get a few days down, you can always add more.
3. Find a gym buddy
Having someone to go to the gym with you makes you want to go and work out to your fullest potential. Sometimes your motivation might not be there but having the company of someone else will create more motivation. Challenge each other and see what happens with a little competition.
4. Eat a healthy diet
Chances are if you are eating a healthy diet, you will want to workout to improve your body too. You will see results faster and will ultimately feel much better.
