Remember the day you decided to start working out? Do you also remember the reasons that pushed you?
Nowadays you will find many peers in the gym breaking a sweat for no reason. Nothing to be impressed about off course… if you are a gym rat!
Us, the others, have a little bit more difficulties finding that motivation to keep on going to the gym week in week out.
What can help you is to write it down!
You will need to remind yourself your reasons why. The more often you see it, the better. Write it down and paste it on your fridge or next to your door.
This will help you out on those days when you will be less motivated. Proven fact.
Routine can kill the passion in a relationship: taking your date out to the same restaurant, talking about the same things always, doing the same positions again and again…
So why are you trying to kill the relationship with your gym?
If you start to consider the gym as your (secret) lover, you will see that you will be happier with it.
Switch it up: try out a new exercise, go to a different gym now and then, try out a sauna suit for a change, cheat on your gym partner on Thursdays,…
You can make it as crazy and exciting as you want!
The third one doesn’t need any introduction: drink water!
Consider that your body is mainly water. Don’t deprive it… HYDRATE YOURSELF!
PS: Avocado is not water
Sometimes it is tempting to wear the latest tracksuit you saw your favorite star with. Not knowing that he or she got a million Euro endorsement deal to wear it 5 minutes in her in her bathroom.

Make sure you get the right workout apparel to sustain your goals.
Some nice to haves could be: a sauna vest, a waist shaper belt, weight loss neoprene, …

Myself growing up as a millennial, I had to learn to take a step back and put some reflections on the way I was working out. While some workout regimen may work out perfectly for some people, this might not be suited for the “regular” people among us.
First things first, you have to know the reasons why you are going to the gym? Is it to get that summer body you were dreaming of? Or to flex on that new intern that started at your firm?
Every goal has steps to it! For you to get there? That’s all on you.
