Sometimes I just feel like rolling into a ball and not do anything. Forget about the world and just hibernate.. If you wanted to start working out but find it too hard, know this: Everyone struggles. You have no idea how many obstacles there are even for someone who seems very motivated and active.
We officially belong to the crowd who happily make a fool out of themselves in front of the TV. No, I am not talking about P90X or any other home workout program, I am talking about the new Xbox Kinect.
It's official now: after finishing my first round of P90X I also graduated with my first round of Insanity. A lot of sweat and calories were lost. However I have to admit that I think Insanity is more suited for people who actually still have to lose numbers on the scale. Even though my cardio has improved a lot, I hardly saw any changes in my body composition.
If you all of a sudden stagnate in losing weight or leaning out you are probably under-eating. Eating and giving your body the exact amount it needs, without feeding it too much or too little is a really tricky task on itself. Pack this on top of the whole exercise routines and you face quite a challenge if you want to stay healthy and keep reforming your body.
Motivation, something everyone struggles with at least every now and then. So, I sat down and thought about what keeps me motivated or (maybe more importantly) what happens if I don't feel motivated? In this context I think that talking about Motivation also automatically needs a chat about your expectations and goals. Most of the time motivation goes down if you feel like you are running in circles or running in place.
