6 motivating steps to visit the gym

All of us often say '' I will go to the gym tomorrow'' but when tomorrow comes, it turns out that the gym is far away from us. But if your working hours last long and to keep your energy you drink coffee and different kinds of energy drinks, then you have better run to the gym, medicaldaily.com reports. Here are some 6 motivation steps to go to the gym:

1. Plan Your Meals Accordingly

If you’re heading to the gym after work, eat couple of hours earlier. Your stomach must not be either empty or full. Use foods rich in protein and complex carbohydrates (green vegetables, oatmeal, whole-grain bread or pasta). These foods can release energy before and during your workout.

2. Get some new Gear

Upon entering the gym you may notice that people are wearing a lot of vibrant colors. Choose colors which you will like. For instance, you may like a pair of running shoes or clothing with neon green. So where’s the only place you can go to with your new running shoes, basketball shorts, or multicolored leggings? The gym.

3. Bring Your Gear To The Office

If you already have new gear, bring them to your working place. All of us dream to get back home and get comfortable after work. But let’s not forget about our aim. Our gear will keep us reminding of visiting the gym

4. Find A Workout Buddy

There’s a good chance one of your friends is in the exact same predicament as you. Their lack of motivation is definitely something you need. Speak to your friend, plan a specified day and go to the gym together. It will be much more interesting.

5. Track Your Progress

To reach our goals we need to be more realistic about what results we can reach in a month after visiting the gym. When you heat your first goal during your workout, it will motivate you more to go to the gym.

6. Reward Yourself For Making It

No one is going to reward you for the noticeable changes to your physique, so don’t be afraid to reward you yourself. For instance, rewarding yourself with an entire pizza pie won’t be so sensible, as you lead healthy lifestyle. Tasty chocolate milk is a better option. Over time, your little rewards will condition your brain into relating a trip to the gym with an enjoyable experience afterward.
