Motivation tips

Schedule fixed times

Treat training like an appointment: schedule it into your calendar.

Find the time of day when you feel most productive! In the morning, at lunchtime or in the evening?

Train together

A training partner can motivate you to keep at it.

This creates a sense of commitment as you motivate each other.

Reward yourself

Set small rewards for goals achieved: A new fitness outfit, a relaxing spa day or a cheat meal.

Add variety

Avoid boredom by regularly varying your workouts.

Use new training plans or try out challenges.

Visualize your progress

Imagine how you feel after a good workout.

Put up pictures or quotes that motivate you (vision board).

Before and after photos can also be very motivating.

Find your community

Join fitness groups or take part in courses.

Online communities or social media groups can provide additional inspiration.

Remember the positive effects

Realize how good you feel after exercising: energy, less stress, better sleep.

Write down the reasons why you exercise (e.g. health, self-confidence, stress reduction).

Create a motivating environment

Prepare everything: Clothes, equipment, playlist.

Use motivating music, podcasts or training videos

Accept setbacks

It’s okay to have a bad day. The important thing is not to stop completely.

Instead of criticizing yourself, plan how you will carry on tomorrow.
