4 Simple Ideas to Use Your Inspiration For Your Best Fit Life

Use Your Inspiration For Your Best Fit Life

A survey once showed that the number 1 resolution that most people make on New Year’s Day is to lose weight or get fit.

The survey also went on to show that this very same resolution was the one most often broken by the end of January or February. Is this a New Year's resolution you made this past New Year?

How are you doing now that we are almost halfway through April? Let us know in the comments. Today we have 4 Simple Ideas to Use Your Inspiration For Your Best Fit Life

So why are people not able to keep at it? Where did the initial excitement go? Why have they wasted money on an expensive gym membership but stopped going?
The answer is the lack of inspiration.

Many think that they require complete willpower or motivation to stay on track when in fact they must be inspired from within to achieve the health and fitness goals they say they want to achieve.
​
In the beginning, there is the initial excitement of starting something new. The future seems happy with a healthy, toned body.

However, once the excitement dies down, and people realize that results are not coming fast, they lose interest and it all becomes mundane and even unpleasant.
I have listed a few ways to help you find your inspiration to keep on keeping on.

When the going gets tough and you feel like quitting, these tips will open up new viewpoints for you in finding your inspiration.

When you don’t see the results as fast as you want, these methods will give you the patience and persistence to forge ahead.

Write down YOUR WHY. Ask yourself why it is you want to lose weight, get fit, build muscle, get, and stay healthy etc. Define YOUR TRUE WHY.

Keep asking why until you get to the real truth. Why do you want to get fit? Because you want to feel better and lose weight Why? So, you look good, have more self-confidence and have more energy? Why must you look good and have more energy? So, your self-confidence improves because you look good, and you feel your body is vital and energized. That is the why. To feel amazing and self-confident. To feel energized each day.

Keep digging till you get to the truth. We wrote about the 5 WHY Method and here is the link to go through the ideas for your best life. https://wendybottrell.weebly.com/blog/implement-the-5-whys-method-to-energize-your-best-life

Find a training partner so that each of you can encourage each other when one of you is down. This is how I began exercising years ago. A friend and I joined a gym together. We had a plan that we would work out together and we did that for over 2 years.

It was an amazing experience for me for so many reasons, we had a lot of fun and I was able to change my body from being overweight to being in the best shape of my life at that time.

Do NOT stop. If your schedule was very busy on a certain day and you do not have time for a one-hour workout, do not just skip it and feel guilty.

Do a quick 10 minutes of push-ups and squats. Or maybe skipping for 15 minutes.

A quick workout that leaves you gasping for air. It will make you feel better and more energized but more importantly, you will feel inspired because you did not quit.

Keep your workouts exciting. My plan includes walking, sprinting, lifting weights, and stretching.

There is variety every day.

Do not let your training become monotonous and predictable.

This causes you to lack inspiration and motivation.

If you get here go back to FINDING YOU WHY and grab the pen/paper to write down Your WHY with the 5 WHY's method https://wendybottrell.weebly.com/blog/implement-the-5-whys-method-to-energize-your-best-life. It is completely worth the effort.

This is what I did over 25 years ago, when I was 100 lbs overweight, out of shape, exhausted and living an uninspired life. Today my WHY inspires me every day.
