MY FITNESS JOURNEY/HOW TO GET WORKOUT MOTIVATION

-



Hello lovelies!! Close to 2years I made a conscious decision to incorporate fitness into my lifestyle, it was hard to convince my mind and body to start being active, I was never involved in any sports since my schooling years,I hated sporting activities with a passion and was never active, I even couldn't mind eating anything,but soon enough, the food I ate started going to the wrong places, I had  to do something since I had already started modelling and I was also starting my blog,there was no way I was gonna feel uncomfortable yet I could do something about it. I made up my mind and started my fitness journey.
 I would say motivation is one of the key things that if you lack then it would be hard to reach your goals.


I decided to share some few tips you need to get motivation,

✓Buy workout clothes- workout outfits is what will get you started, they will motivate you to use them.

✓Set a reminder on when you want to workout, mark your calendar for the days you will be working out, sometimes you can be occupied by so many things in life (I also find myself in the same situation) to a point you just forget to workout or even you can't get time to workout.But when you set a reminder it will be hard for you to forget or skip your workout routine.


✓Be consistent, set goals and have a strong spirit and keep reminding yourself why you started,it keeps you moving.Be willing to go through pain.Its worth it ,also remember that no pain no gain.

✓Dont always workout on the same place learn to change your location because working out on the same place can be boring.
✓Keep yourself hydrated  before and after workout it is very important.

✓Challenge yourself on different competition like marathon, it gives you motivation to be better.
✓Document your journey, seeing your body transformation makes you motivated to reach your body goal.

✓Have a workout buddy, have someone whom you workout with. Let it be someone who keeps you moving not someone who doesn't motivate you or doesn't encourage you to keep on.

✓Listen to podcast/music, they will keep you going and it even becomes fun as they are a great motivator while working out.
See you next time!!

Well, hello lovelies. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve logged in to chat here, life lately has been super hectic, super busy to be precise. This year has been whimsical in so many ways.  Hope you've had a great start of the month, as I am writing this in the morning of the beginning of september, I is the start of the month, Its a gloomy day as I look out of the window. I have the idea of writing on the website but i keep postponing to another day. So I wake up and decide to write it before i get out of bed. Oh! as long as I can remember, I wrote a post a few month ago and it got deleted, can you imagine? how dissapointing that was.

Happy sunday to you incase you read this immediately I put it up.  Something about my brain craves to spit out written words so here I am, writing down is my therapy. Alot to share with you guys, And before I start is there a publishing editor that w...

LOOSEN YOUR GRIP

This thought keeps coming at least twice or thrice a day and each time, it hits me right in my center. I never saw myself as someone with control issues. I am very much a live-and-let-live kinda girl for the most part. I let people do what they want to do and respect everyone having a choice to live their life how they see fit. What I've never taken note of was how in control have to be all the time. Emotionally to feel comfortable and safe. I wasn't controlling others or trying to control my environment, I was controlling myself.  POLICING MYSELF. I was holding so tight to my emotions that my knuckles were turning white. I needed to loosen my grip. I needed to learn to let go of the emotions so that my hands would be free to hold purposeful things. I let go of my grip on my emotions and now I can love, laugh, learn, heal, grow, knowledge, friendships, and the list goes on.
