Can't find motivation to exercise?
In this free mini course I will take you through a step-by-step process to get motivated to stick to a consistent exercise routine so you can stay FIT, VIBRANT & HEALTHY in your BEST years. Create your own motivation plan and get the full series here. Pull factors draw us TOWARDS something we desire. Your pull factors might involve wanting to keep your body strong to enjoy pastimes like dancing, exploring the world, playing with your grand kids or building a strong foundation for good health. "Exercise has given me energy, strength, and confidence that I never knew I had. I feel better in my body and mind than I ever have before." Perhaps, it's the mind-body connection that draws you in. The promise of stable moods, sharper thinking, and a confidence boost from reaching your goals might be on your radar. "I find working out to be a great way to relieve stress and clear my head." Maybe you just want to sleep well and have more energy while maintaining your desired weight, and that's your reason to move. “Exercise has helped me manage my weight, reduce stress levels, and improve my sleep." Push factors are what we want to move AWAY from so they may include things we are scared will happen if we don't workout. "I started exercising in my 50s, not to lose weight or look a certain way, but to take care of my health. I knew that as I aged, my risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease would increase. I wanted to do everything I could to prevent that from happening." The things we want to avoid by exercising are generally related to declining physical/mental health or physical discomfort. Or we want to avoid looking overweight or too thin. No one wants to dwell on these (so I won't), but the good news is that knowing you are doing something to lessen the risk can feel really empowering. "My diabetes diagnosis was a wake-up call. I knew I had to take control of my health for myself and my family. So, I took a deep breath and got a personal trainer." 🤜 Which negative outcomes do you want to avoid by exercising? 🤛 What are you excited to achieve by working out? Note your answers and create your motivation plan here. I'm sure you can see how push and pull factors kick start your desire to get fit. And hopefully you have found some deep-seated motivations to use as fuel to start working out. In part 2, we'll explore using movement to achieve a big life goal so that you can get excited about each workout.
