You enthusiastically start working out and make a motivated commitment to your personal health and fitness once and for all by exercising daily and eating healthy, only to find yourself making excuses and falling back into old habits a few weeks later. Sound familiar? We all know that exercise is a crucial component of health and wellness. But for those of us who aren’t athletically inclined, sticking to a workout routine can seem nearly impossible.
So how can we be more like a fitness junkie who always seems motivated and incentivized to consistently stay in great shape?
Commit Knowing Transformation Will Not Happen Overnight
Forming new habits takes time, about 30 days to be exact. At first, expect to experience mental resistance. Your mind will think of every excuse or reason why you shouldn’t exercise today. The truth is that you’re not always going to feel motivated, but you always have the choice to do it anyway.
Remind yourself why you decided to commit to exercising in the first place. Not only can working out make you look better, it can also boost your energy levels, improve your mood, and make your entire body function better. Eventually the exercise will become a reward in itself, but it helps to positively reinforce the behavior at first. Make sure to reward yourself when you do follow through. A dose of Green Gorilla CBD gummies is the perfect post-workout reward, plus it can help speed up muscle recovery and relieve soreness. And they’re vegan and non-GMO, so they’ll fit right into your healthy lifestyle.
Set Yourself up for Success
Consistency is key when forming new habits. Plan your workouts into your schedule just like you would with any other commitment. Pick a time that works best for you and stick to it. Mark every day that you stick to your goal on your calendar and try not to break the streak.
Again, remember to reward yourself consistently with healthy incentives, such as a serving of our organic CBD gummies post-workout. Since CBD can also aid in your body’s recovery from workouts, a healthy motivational option is to mix a serving of our USDA certified hemp & olive CBD oils into your favorite meal, to reinforce well-formed exercise and nutritional habits.
Another way to make it as easy as possible to keep your commitment is to pack your gym bag in advance and keep it somewhere that’s easily visible. Prepare ahead of time to minimize excuses in the moment.
Find What Works for You
Find a form of exercise that feels good for you. If you’re dreading your workout, you’re much less likely to stick to it. There are so many different activities and fitness classes out there. Find a fun way to move your body that you can look forward to.
Don’t Go it Alone
Encouragement and accountability go a long way in staying motivated to exercise. Find a workout buddy, join a team, or take classes. You’re more likely to show up if you don’t want to let others down.
Plus, the social element can make working out more enjoyable. Your friends may have also heard or read about CBDs beneficial effects on the body and may want to also try adding cannabidiol to their workout routine. There are also online communities you can join for moral support.
Starting a new exercise habit requires motivation and can be challenging. There will be times when you slip up, but don’t be too hard on yourself. Every day is another opportunity to show up and reach your fitness goals. Set realistic goals, motivate yourself with healthy incentives and rewards, know when to take a break, and don’t forget to enjoy yourself!
