Procrastination is a common problem that many of us face, especially when it comes to making big changes in our lives, such as joining a gym. We know that regular exercise is important for our physical and mental health, but it can be hard to motivate ourselves to actually get moving. If you’re feeling stuck in a rut of procrastination and can’t seem to make the leap to joining a gym, here are a few tips to help you overcome your hesitation and get started now with fitness and start reaping the benefits of regular exercise.
5 Tips To Getting Started NOW with Fitness
1. Set Specific Measurable Goals
One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is because we don’t know what we want to achieve. By setting specific, measurable goals, you’ll have a clear idea of what you’re working towards, which will make it easier to motivate yourself to take action. For example, instead of just saying “I want to get in shape,” set a goal to “lose 10 pounds in the next two months.”
2. Break down your goal into smaller steps
Once you have a clear goal in mind, it’s important to break it down into smaller, manageable steps. This will help you focus on the task at hand and make it feel less overwhelming. For example, if your goal is to lose 10 pounds in two months, you could break it down into smaller steps such as “exercise for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.”
3. Create a Plan of Action
With your goal and steps in mind, create a plan of action that outlines the specific steps you’ll take to reach your goal. For example, if your goal is to exercise for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, your plan of action might include researching gyms in your area, scheduling a tour of the gyms, and signing up for a membership.
4. Eliminate distractions
Distractions are one of the biggest enemies of productivity. Identify the things that distract you the most and eliminate them as much as possible. For example, if you find that you’re constantly getting sidetracked by social media, try disabling notifications on your phone or setting a specific time of day when you’ll check your accounts.
5. Find an Accountability Partner
Having someone who will hold you accountable for your actions can be a great motivator. Find a friend or family member who has similar fitness goals and check in with each other regularly to track your progress and offer support and encouragement.
By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to overcoming procrastination and joining a gym. Remember, the key is to take action, even if it’s just small steps. And don’t get discouraged if you slip up – we all do. Just get back on track and keep moving forward. With a little determination and persistence, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your fitness goals.
