Losing Motivation?

DF will be closed on Monday September 1st for labor day. We wish you and your family a happy safe holiday. Regular hours to resume on Tuesday September 2nd


Losing motivation? Losing sight of why you started to work out in the first place? It happens to everyone you start and then over time you feel like your starting to slip down a slippery slope to no where, where you potentially will lose all the progress you made in the first place! Well there are a few little tips and tricks to help keep that motivation climbing up hill rather than taking that first slip!

Set your clothes out every night so when you wake up its the first thing you see, so that way if your a morning 5:45am-er you can slip your clothes right on before you have time to even talk yourself out of it. Or if you are a after-worker make sure you place them in your gym bag every morning so that way you know you wont have to suffer the disappointment and embarrassment in your self at night when you have to put them back in the drawer instead of the hamper.

Every night also fill up your water bottle and have a snack readily beside it as for your pre or post work out snack. Its harder to ignore something when its staring you right in the face (not impossible it can happen and it does) 

Put up a reminder of why you started your fitness journey in the first place, was it a health issue? Put that medical bill on the fridge, were you finallllyy just sick and tired of being to heavy and out of shape to take the stairs that you would rather wait the extra 5-10 minutes to take the elevator? Tape a old picture of your self where you are not happy with how you look to your bathroom mirror..The saying with celebs, athletes, anyone who makes it big is "don't forget where you came from" repeat that to yourself over and over dont forget where you came from, dont forget where you were when you started.

And lastly the Swear Jar, only its not for when your little one says that little curse word they heard on tv and they have to put a dollar in the jar oh no, now the swear jar is for you!! And the penalty for not making work out  higher than a dollar. Every time you skip a work out put $5-10 in the jar and save it for a rainy day after a year or so take it to go buy new work out clothes or tennis shoes (hopefully there isnt too much money in the jar) ;) and put it towards something health conscious. Or take the family on a little adventure to GO APE or to Moraine, North Park or Erie to do some paddle boarding, kayaking biking the list is endless!! 

Have a great weekend guys, eat smart and keep active
