Whether you\u2019re tired of doing the same old routine or are in one of those \u201cI don\u2019t feel up to it\u201d moods, here are some tips to get yourself moving again:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Focus on going to work out, not the workout itself<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t think about the need to run three miles or having to burn a certain number of calories. Just focus on going. Once you\u2019re there, you can decide how much effort you want to put in. For most people, putting in the effort isn\u2019t the problem \u2013 it\u2019s just getting started.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Don\u2019t be hard on yourself<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s important to set fitness goals, but remember to be easy on yourself. The point of working out is to stay healthy, and you\u2019re putting in the effort. Accomplishing goals will come, but you have to be patient.<\/p>\n<h3>3. You\u2019re not alone<\/h3>\n<p>The inability to find motivation is a problem everyone faces, even the toned, weight-lifters at the gym. It\u2019s okay that you don\u2019t feel up to working out. There\u2019s nothing wrong with you.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Opt for easier<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to work out, pick an easier workout. Rather than going for a run, take a walk. If you usually start hammering it hard on the Elliptical, ride the bike as a warm instead. Start slow and ease into the workout.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Don\u2019t compare yourself to others<\/h3>\n<p>Fitness is a personal journey. You shouldn\u2019t compare yourself to others. Still, it\u2019s not easy to see someone at the gym or running around the neighborhood with toned biceps and think, \u201cUgh, that will never be me.\u201d While it\u2019s hard to avoid this kind of thinking, you have to put those thoughts aside and celebrate your victories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some people who seem born with the drive to work out, but many others need a little motivation.
