Exercise Advice

I need help getting motivated. Obviously the thought of me in a dress with 100people looking at me is pretty good motivation but I still can't seem to get off my a**e any tips?

Hi Csteggle,

It's not easy getting motivation - in fact I think it is the hardest part of the whole thing.

Few of my best tips are:

1. Get clear on what you actually want - rather than just loose weight, how much weight, or is it more about toning, feeling better in yourself etc... whatever it is get clear on that and try and set small and measurable steps to that

2. Commit to the first step. I find I coax myself into exercise by starting the process with small manageable steps. e.g. decide that this week you are going to get into your exercise clothes 4 times this week. Then once you are in them maybe you are just going to leave the house, then maybe you are just going to get yourself to the gym, or start to run etc. I keep saying this to myself not over to committing to 4 long runs, or gym sessions but actually by the time i am in my exercise clothes, leaving the house, at the gym or doing a run I find it so much easier to push myself to get the workout I really wanted to get done done.

3. Try and exercise early - I find I am so much more likely to follow through with my exercise if I get up and get it done first thing - the other bonus of this is you feel better all through the day!

Hope this helps, good luck with it all. Whatever happens you will look amazing in your dress on the day, so don't stress too much!

Have you tried the Shred? Totally manageable because it's only about 25 minutes and you will start to notice your self toning up which is always a good motivator. There are 3 levels. Start at level 1 and do each level for a minimum of 10 days or until you're doing it comfortably. You can find all the videos if you just Google them and then click the videos option at the top of the page. Good luck!
