enabling you to be active more often , thus resulting in being tired in a good way,
continuing the proper active cycle.
Sometimes people forget sleep actually plays a crucial role as the catalyst. | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 8:11:01 PM | | Change up what you do is my advice ...find out if theres a sports league at your job (something that you may have never tried before)or try finding a class (martial arts, belly dancing whatever )that fits into your schedule...i was working like mad, have 2 kids and am a runner but i was also bored of the gym and needing an outlet i found mine in a martial art school that was offered during one of my only free moments ..it gave me back the urge to continue with all my training as well as giving me a new way to workout..theres so many schools or classes out there im sure youll find one that will fit, other than thatyou could set a goal in a sport you love and do all you can to achieve it:) | |

But sometimes when the motivation to WORK OUT isn't there, putting on upbeat music really helps get that workout mood back! | |

Posted: 10/31/2009 7:30:26 PM | Unlike the OP, I haven't been active my whole life; only started to in my early 30s.
What's similar is recently with the arrival of colder temperatures (close to zero degrees C and below), I've automatically switched to hibernation mode. Unlike the previous years when it only lasted as long as I became numb from the cold wind, this year I'm finding it difficult to snap out of it.
I got a cheap motorized treadmill and I have to force myself to wake up earlier when I'm already staying half hour later in bed than when I used to hit the gym religiously. I just couldn't get my groove back until...
This is the second year that my workplace has this health/fitness challenge where anyone who signs up can log steps walked, or any activities like shopping (!!), housework, soccer, swimming etc that use energy.
The competitiveness I never knew I had before got me on the treadmill early in the mornings, walked around whenever I could at work, hit the gym at lunch, so on and so forth so that I can log as many "steps" as possible in this 6-week challenge. I got thinking this afternoon, wondering how I lost my motivation in the first place as I was sweating it up on the treadmill on a Saturday (crazy? yes).
So what I'm saying is, you gotta find the thing that will get you back into your game, be it a gym partner, a goal (my coworker wants to look fabulous in a string bikini in the Bahamas), that cute guy who shows up at the gym...whatever it takes!
Good luck with getting your groove back! | |
