Clancie Asks a Question... Bryan Gets on a Soapbox
Set realistic goals. Don't try to do too much too soon, or you'll just get discouraged. Start with small goals that you know you can achieve, and then gradually increase the difficulty as you get stronger.
Find an exercise buddy. Working out with a friend or family member can help you stay accountable and motivated.
Make it fun. If you're not enjoying your workouts, you're less likely to stick with them. Find activities that you enjoy and that challenge you, and you'll be more likely to keep coming back for more.
In addition to these three main points, Bryan also offers some additional tips for staying motivated, such as:
Reward yourself for your accomplishments.
Don't give up. There will be days when you don't feel like working out, but it's important to push through those days.
Find a workout routine that works for you and stick with it.
Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone is different, so focus on your own progress.
