Fitness Doesn’t End After Three Months

By Hut Allred

You’ve been working out on a regular basis, sticking to your routine, eating right, you get asked out on a date by that special someone, there’s no way you can say no, so you decide to skip working out and blow your diet. It’s just one night, what can it hurt.

It’s so often than not that one excuse to go off your diet or skip going to the gym starts to turn into a regular habit, and before you even know it, you’re not even going to the gym at all. Most people when they first start working out are really motivated, but after two or three months they find that it gets easier and easier to make up excuses why they shouldn’t have to work out.

It’s safe to say that 75% of people who start to work out will fizzle off within three months. Most people get started in January, “New Year’s Resolution”, and by April they’re not exercising at all. Once the exhilaration wears off, so do the trips to the gym.

Fitness doesn’t end after three months. Keeping fit and staying in shape is a lifelong commitment whether it is through diet, exercise, or a combination of both. If you’re thinking about cutting out your exercise routine, here are a few things you might want to try to help you stay motivated.

Routine- Make exercising as much a part of your daily life as you can, just like brushing your teeth. The more of a routine exercising is, the more likely you are to stick to it.
Convenience- Choose a time and place to exercise that is easy for you and fits well into your schedule. This will make it easier to stick to.
Realistic Goals- If you can only work out three days a week, don’t try and do five.
Records- Keep records of your workout routines and any progress or changes you might need to make.
Fun- Make your workout routines fun, by changing routines or adding some kick boxing in with your weight lifting. If it’s fun, you’ll look forward to it more.
Trainer- Try working out with a fitness trainer. It’s their job to help you stay motivated and teach you training techniques that are the most beneficial to your success. If you can’t afford a trainer, try getting a workout partner. When you workout with someone, you can help keep each other motivated.
Three Months- Make a commitment to working out consistently for three months. Give yourself a chance to make working out a habit in your life. It may not feel like it at first, but over time it will be just a normal as getting up in the morning.

Fitness doesn’t have to end after three months if you give it a fair try. If you fall of the wagon, don’t beat yourself up, get right back on. Making a commitment to commit is the first step in the right direction to a successful exercise regimen.
