Identifing Factors to your Online Fitness Motivation

Welcome to our blog geared to help you find time for fitness, stay on track with your exercise regimen, and eliminate excuses for lacking the motivation to accomplish your fitness goals. We believe that with the inception of online fitness, there are no more excuses. When you can have guided exercise videos and wellness information at the click of your mouse, you lose any excuse you had to not work out.

We know that motivation is key to helping you be successful with your exercise regimen. If you’ve attempted to lose weight, eat better, exercise regularly, manage stress or make other improvements in your life in the past, you’ve probably experienced the come-and-go nature of motivation. At first, you may feel very inspired and driven to change but, as time passes or the going gets tough, your enthusiasm seems to slip away, and you quickly go back to how things were before you tried to make that change. Motivation is one of the major reasons for failing to follow through with attempts to make change.

Although it may feel like it, motivation is not an abstract force that is out of your control. Once you understand what really motivates you and how motivation works, you’ll be able to make the choices that result in lifelong health. This is not to say you will always feel the same level of motivation, or that you’ll be motivated by the same things. However, when you’re able to identify your motivators, you will be more successful at staying on track. So, where does your motivation come from, and what’s the secret to keeping it? We are going to tackle this more in depth tomorrow, but until then, take a second to think about the internal and external factors that motivate you and check back tomorrow to learn how identifying those feelings, events and people can seriously affect your motivation and road to success.
