Today’s sacrifices are Tomorrow’s results

Isn’t it hard to get motivated to work out when you are at home surrounded by delicious snacks and watching your favorite show? Well, we have some tips that might help you to do bodyweight exercises and get your workout done without pushing it off…

To begin with, you need to prioritize your routines in the morning, before you come up with excuses, or before later on in the day you get too tired to want to exercise. The night before attempt to fall asleep with your workout clothes so that once you wake up you are ready for action.

Another tip is to try not to skip your workout for two days in a row. It is ok if you skip it one time because you don’t feel inspired or because you need a day to rest, but next day you have to put even more effort, think about how tough it is to get started so you don’t allow yourself to interrupt the building of that habit; if you just focus on this little habit it can cause a positive impact throughout other areas of your life even when you don’t feel like doing it, or when you don’t have the time or when you are thinking you won’t achieve it. When you build the habit of exercising every day on regular bases it changes everything in your life, leading you to reach other goals you might have.

Before to do your bodyweight exercises, remember to not forget the warm-up, the essence of your workout

You likely struggle with procrastination as well, sometimes even to do a little thing, becomes a constant battle with yourself, we convince ourselves through all these excuses, like: “tomorrow I’m going to have more energy or I will feel more inspired”, but the problem there, is that tomorrow passes by our side and we don’t get the chance to do it. Therefore it is important to make a to-do list, this not only helps you be more focused on your goals but it shows you how much progress you are able to reach. Try to start by including only your priorities, whether it’s about getting strong or losing weight; you better have your mind clear so nothing can separate you from your target. Remove as many distractions and temptations as you can, that simple barrier prevents you from procrastination, consider that old saying, “out of sight, out of mind.” This is a crucial first step that builds up self-discipline. An example of what you can do to focus on your workout is to turn off your cell phone.

Working out is essential to combat depression and redirect your life. It also prevents you from overeating since we usually eat not even when we are hungry but when we are bored, so if you keep yourself busy you won’t have a mind for eating, besides after doing your workout you will be so exhausted that you won’t have food cravings, because if you eat you might think you lost your time and your workout was in vain.

It is ok if you want to challenge yourself by increasing the difficulty level of your workout, however sometimes you can get frustrated if you don’t accomplish it, so start by setting a realistic goal, think of what you are able to fulfill and execute a plan to achieve it accordingly; remember that you don’t need any tool or gym equipment to perform your routines, you can have an idea with this StepFlix full bodyweight workout
