Motivation is Key!

       Different people have different motivations as to why they want to work out. Some are motivated to lose weight, some are motivated to gain weight, and others are just motivated for their own personal reasons. No matter what the cause of the motivation is, you should hold on to that motivation forever. If you are motivated to lose weight and you lose 100 lbs over 5 months, will you just start sitting around the house eating ice cream? I sure hope not. When you lose that 100 lbs you should keep the motivation of staying fit and remember what it was like to be over weight and how much you hated it. There's no need to go back to that pain. You need to stay motivated and stay dedicated.

     Some people lose their motivation. I have a few times. If that happens, I would suggest just taking a break from lifting for a week. A week without lifting and you will realize how much you love lifting and how much you love to better yourself with it. This will get your motivation up and you can hit the gym again. If you lose your motivation very often, then I suggest trying a new approach. That shouldn't be happening. If you have no motivation, then why are you doing what you are doing? Why are you trying to lose weight? Why are you trying to gain muscle? Why? Motivation is key to staying happy about what you are doing. Without it, you are hopeless.
