How do i get motivated to exercise?

How can I get motivated to diet and (especially) exercise?

• Answer:

  I've received the question about motivation to workout several times. After doing some research today, I think the ultimate key to motivation is: Passion Yes, p-a-s-s-i-o-n Without that burning desire to succeed, most things will elude you. Desire comes from an interest that can grow into passion. If you have a passion for something, you'll do whatever it takes to be successful. Without it, you'll only be partly committed and only partly successful. Take a look at any major sports star or entertainer, the passion they have for their sport is obvious. It is what drives them to succeed and motivates them to give 100%. Without it, they would just be average. To be successful in the pursuit of fitness, it needs to become a passion. So if you don't have a strong interest in becoming fit, I suggest you find other activities you do enjoy. Getting fit isn't something anybody does well as a passing interest. But do realize that you need to know more about fitness in general before you can develop a real enthusiasm for it. In my case, as I kept learning more and more about training, nutrition and supplements, my interest really started to grow. And understand that you don't need to be obsessive about working out. You can be very successful just doing 45 minutes a session, 3 times a week. You don't need to live in the gym or spend every second thinking about working out. Best wishes
