Workout starts feeling great when the results begin to appear. You get more motivated to continue your fitness journey and acquire more benefits. However, it is always not so easy to stay motivated, especially when you’re just starting and can’t yet see the results..
After all, you have to deal with issues like sore muscles, feelings of your muscles seizing up, sweating everywhere and make time in your busy life to get these workouts in. In such a case, it is not so easy to work out. And if you’re a beginner, it can be even harder due to the initial aches and swellings, and making this a part of your lifestyle.
Nonetheless, regularly working out is extremely beneficial to mental and physical health. In fact it's a no-brainer to workout. It improves your quality of life dramatically and maintains your emotional state. Working out has numerous benefits, so how can you make it feel easier for you?
Here are some tips you can follow if you feel a workout is too much of a drag.
1. Never Compare
Competition can be both healthy and unhealthy, depending on the specifics of a situation. While it is good to have a healthy competition with your peers, comparing your fitness journey with theirs can also be harmful.
Often, women compare their bodies and fitness progress as a way to get down on themselves. This results in negative self-talk, turning your entire fitness experience into negative. And while it disrupts your self-esteem, such competition also makes working out much harder. So stay in your own lane, so to speak and always remain positive and optimistic.
2. Work Out with Others
FInd yourself a workout partner. Working out with others is also super important to keep you motivated. Having a few people to work out with is more about ‘way’ than ‘accountability.’
According to one research by Oxford University, people have twice as much tolerance as they usually do when exercising with buddies. Not to forget, the rate of endorphin boost also doubles in group workouts compared to solo.
However, it is also important to invite the right friends for a workout session. Make sure you consider which of your friends can make great workout buddies. They must be the ones that push you along the way and support you to improve to have a better workout experience.
3. Play the Right Playlist
