A lack of motivation can be a major roadblock to better fitness, but there are plenty of tricks for getting around it and back on the right track. Setting realistic fitness goals, giving yourself grace when you backslide, getting friends involved, and working with a personal trainer who knows how to motivate you to work out are all approaches worth taking.

How You Can Be More Motivated to Work Out

SET REALISTIC FIT

NESS GOALS

With fitness, make sure your reach doesn’t exceed your grasp. If you set out thinking you’re going to get six-pack abs in a few weeks or even a couple of months, you’re only setting yourself up for disappointment. To keep your motivation strong, set realistic, attainable fitness goals that you can achieve and build on.

CUT YOURSELF SOME SLACK

Fitness is a lifelong journey, and the motivation just won’t always be there. If you have days where you aren’t feeling your best or you fall back on a bad habit, don’t let it break your resolve. Get back on the horse and get back into the gym. Everyone has off days—how you recover from those off days makes the difference.

MAKE FITNESS A TEAM SPORT

If you’re a social creature and struggle with fitness motivation, you may do well to get your friends involved. Going to the gym with someone close to you creates an opportunity to catch up, share your goals and aspirations, and hold each other accountable as you work toward them. If you have an experienced friend who has spent some time in the gym, they may even be able to help show you how to work out more effectively and give you tips to stay motivated.

WORK WITH A PERSONAL TRAINER

A personal fitness trainer can learn your specific goals and leverage their expertise to help you achieve them. Not only can a trainer give you tips on how to stay motivated and get the most from your workouts, but they can help you avoid and overcome injuries and pain along your journey.
