How To Get Motivated To Work Out When You Really Don’t Wanna
Going to the gym can be an ordeal. There’s the whole what to wear/can you be bothered/when to go/whether you can face dealing with the post-gym sesh stickiness dilemma to grapple with. It’s a right faff. Processing all of these thoughts can near-instantly turn you off going, so you really need a damn good reason – or reasons – to work out. And we’ve got them:
1. You'll truly feel fantastic afterwards.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, an obvious one, but an accurate one. To quote Elle Woods: ‘Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands.’ Facts. So the next time you’re refraining from shooting Sharon after asking yet another inane question in that morning meeting, ye best hop to the gym and work out your neggy feelings. Bright side is that you get to wear your fabulous new leggings/crop top set.
2. You're trying to lose weight for a wedding.
It may be yours, it may be your best babe friend’s, either way, you’ve gotta shed some poundzzzz. Let this fear of not fitting into your outfit propel you to your trainers and out the door. Treat yourself to a post-gym sesh juice or one of these nutritious breakfasts and keep up the good work. It’ll be worth itttttt!
3. You've just broken up with someone.
You know what is the best cure for a breakup? Khloé Kardashian knows: a #RevengeBody. So get yours and be the one who wins the breakup. Want to aid your trim-n-tone? Accelerate your detox with this delicious vegan summer soup.
4. You're going on holiday.
Call us superficial, but if there’s mandatory swimwear wearing at our upcoming holiday destination, we like to look our best. And looking our best often calls for a work out or two/three/four. If the numerous piccies aren’t enough inspo to get off your booty, feeling proud in your #SummerBody will be enough of a reward.
5. You're going to an event your nemesis will be attending.
We’re petty. Whatever. No matter how Zen and well meaning you are, there’s no denying how fantastic it feels to swan in somewhere, knowing people from your previous life will see you in your most brilliant state. It’s always better to be looking and feeling great, especially when you’re going to be encountering your arch enemy, so use this as motivation to work out. You’ll get to wear saucy outfits like these!
