If you have a hard time getting out the door for exercise, you're not alone. It is often said that the hardest step is the first one out the door. There are just some people who need help finding that extra motivation to exercise. I'm here to share with you my motivation!
I do enjoy exercising. I regularly lift weights, and I run, but there is one thing I can never find motivation for.... the TREADMILL! Or, as I like to call it, the dreadmill. I find it terribly boring, and I never last as long as I do on the roads. However, there is another thing I especially dislike, and that is COLD weather. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, thus I never even experienced a real winter until I moved to Kentucky. In the Cincinnati area this time of year, it is very hard for me to run outside. When I moved here, I joined LA Fitness. Luckily, there is a location on the Kentucky side that overlooks the Ohio River into Ohio. I finally found my motivation to use the treadmill during yucky cold weather, and you can see it below!
Who wouldn't want to run when you can see downtown Cincinnati? I love this view! I can't say that I love running on the treadmill now, but I don't mind it. I know everyone won't have a view like this to motivate them, but there is something out there that can motivate you. I encourage you to find that motivation, and use it to get you out the door or to do what you do not want to do! Whether it be your dog motivating you on a run, setting a motivating picture as the background on your phone, or having your kids workout with you, there is something that you can use to motivate you, you just have to find it! If your end goal is a race, like a 5k, sign up and pay the money for the race now! Once you are signed up for the race, that will serve as a motivator! It's one thing to say you want to run a 5k, but it's another to actually sign up for it!
Let me know if you have any questions!
XOXO
Andrea!
