We’ve all been
there, you miss a few workouts (for good reasons, of course) and you find it
even harder than normal to get back into a steady routine.
Once you lose
your drive to exercise and eat clean, it becomes extremely difficult to get
back on track because you fall prey to ‘excuse syndrome. Excuses pile on and
they become a part of your life. Whether its too little time, not enough
energy, or just hating to exercise, there is a solution.
Forget the
guilt and get back on the treadmill or any other exercise with these awesome,
trainer-approved tips.
There's never a
wrong time to start, just start.
I find that many of my family and friends seem to believe that if they didn’t start their fitness routine in January, then all is lost. Anytime in the year is a good time to get back into a fitness routine. After all, a journey of many miles begins with a single step.

Alter your diet
to energize your workout routine.
Guess what, guys: you are what you eat, especially where your energy level is concerned. Do you feel tired or sluggish when you eat junk food? Start to incorporate fresh vegetables and fruits into your diet everyday. You’ll start to feel way more alert and energized.

Reward yourself
when you meet small goals.
The rewards can be simple, Allow yourself to sleep in on Saturday, treat yourself to a pedicure, or buy those new workout shoes you’ve been eying. The goal is to get yourself motivated to work out and reach your goals.

Get inspired.
Having a positive mindset when it comes to working out determines 90% of your success, so get inspired to reach your fitness goals! Watch your favorite videos and read magazines that will inspire you. Listen to music that will move you. Surround yourself with good people that motivate you. (We think that last tip is pretty good advice for life in general.)

Plan ahead.
When you are initially trying to get back into a fitness routine, its not going to feel natural, so set yourself up for success by planning ahead. When I was starting to work out again, I made sure on Sunday night to map out my fitness plan for the week including my schedule for each day to help accomplish it.

Make one change
a day.
Aim for progress and not perfection. Your level of success will be limited if you try to do everything in one shot. Think slow and gradual in order to get to the next level. You’ll start to see an improvement.

Find a friend.
Exercising is much more enjoyable when you have a workout buddy. Find a friend who’s either already in a fitness routine or trying to hop back on that treadmill! Working out with a friend will make your sweat time fly by and will give you extra motivation not to skip that workout (you don’t want to leave your friend hanging).

Commit to 10
minutes of exercise a day.
You don’t have to be in a gym for an hour in order to see and feel the results. Simply start moving. It doesn’t matter if you take a walk, ride a bicycle, or lift some weights. Just move…you’ll feel great!
