Work It Out – The Struggle is Real

Taking steps

I love hitting the gym on the daily but I cannot tell a lie there are some days that it seems harder to get there than others. There are few things I have implemented to make sure I get my a@@ out of bed and hit the weights.

  1. I make it part of my morning routine. I basically roll out of bed, brush my teeth, put my hair in a pony tail and go. There is no thinking involved. It is just what I do.
  2. On the days when I wake up and allow myself to think before rolling out of bed. I let the following thoughts enter my mind “Oh do I really want to go today?” “Maybe, I should just skip today.” “I am so tired”. Instead of letting these negative thoughts win I then shift to remember how good it feels after a great workout. Then I jump out of bed and make my way to the gym.
  3. I love my workout clothes and basically could live in them.  And, I cannot tell a lie there are few pairs of leggings that I get excited to wear. The leggings from Body Language Sportswear have a little bit of compression  - they feel amazing and look fab! These are my favourite two at the moment. Sparkles and Butterfly's - there is nothing boring here!

          4.I also have a few favourite “go to" work out songs that I play on the way to the gym and during my workout just to keep me going. 

            5. And, I have a go to routine for when I am travelling. Do this set 3 times and then let me know how it works out for you!

        We all struggle at different times but there are ways you can trick yourself into getting it done!
