Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, December 7, 2022 12:50 PM When you look around at why so many people are out of shape and unhealthy these days, it's not because they don't know the importance of physical fitness. Of course they do, and of course they know that working out would fix many of their issues. The problem is they have no motivation to work out. The most important part of working out isn't the specific program you follow (or don't). It's not what leg exercises you do. It's not whether you train with free weights, machines, or bodyweight. It's not deciding between cardio, weight lifting, cycling, or running. It's actually getting into the gym and doing the workout. The most important part of the workout question is being motivated to actually work out. Because the best workout is the one you'll do consistently. You can have all the knowledge in the world, access to all the best equipment, take all the supplements and protein powder, but if you can't actually motivate yourself to work out, it will all be for nothing. If you have trouble getting yourself motivated to work out, keep reading for some tips and tricks for getting the motivation you need. Make your workouts more playful and interesting. The greatest type of motivation is intrinsic motivation: the kind that emerges from within. Dogs are intrinsically motivated to eat food because food tastes good and their desire for it is deep-seated. Children are motivated to explore the world around them because the world is new and endlessly interesting. The desire comes from within. If extrinsic motivations like "lift this much weight" or "lose this many pounds" aren't helping you find the motivation to actually workout, doing something fun and/or engaging as a workout will. Maybe you want to pick up a sport. Or surfing. Or martial arts. Or mountain biking. For me, my favorite "workout" is paddle boarding, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and riding my fat bike along the beach. All fun, all excellent ways to exercise. And the cool thing about this is that you quickly realize doing more formal workouts in the gym will help you get better at the fun workouts, too. These days I train in the gym to enhance my playing. Get a workout buddy. Humans are social animals. We aren't meant to go through life alone. We aren't meant to perform difficult physical tasks alone. Hunters work together. Physical laborers labor together. Soldiers go to war with their comrades. Everything physical in life, with few exceptions, works better and is more enjoyable with other people involved. One of the biggest reasons CrossFit is so successful is that it gives you a community to train with. You show up to the workout of the day and you know there will be some friends suffering right along with you. This dilutes the suffering and enhances the positive effects, keeps you going when the going gets tough. Pay for a trainer. Putting money down on a trainer for a few months of sessions is a way … Continue reading "How to Get Motivated to Work Out" The post How to Get Motivated to Work Out appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
