Whether you’re looking to start a fitness habit or needing to revitalize your current one, we all have to start somewhere and with that comes a need for motivation. So the question becomes, how do we motivate ourselves?
Find a New Workout Program
I’ve mentioned I’m doing the Tone It Up workouts right now and loving it! Sometimes all it takes is changing things up and finding the program that works right for you.
Get A Workout Buddy
Having a support system is huge for staying accountable to your workouts. If you know someone is waiting for you at that 6am yoga class, I promise you’re more likely to show up!
Motivational Quotes
Find a quote or mantra that motivates you when you need that extra push.
New Workout Clothes
While this isn’t something you can do ALL the time, it’s a great way to treat yourself and find a new level of motivation. Because let’s get real, who doesn’t get excited about working out when they have new clothes to wear?
Like these SKINS DNAmic Long Tights, perfect for performing better for longer and faster recovery. They’re comfortable and definitely fit into the space of motivation.

Cute workout clothes in fun colors/patterns, a workout buddy, and try a few different workouts before giving up…there’s something for everyone!
New workout clothes and new running friends keep me motivated – also signing up for a race with a LOT of advance keeps me moving!
Listening to music while working out is always a great motivator for me.
Quotes are such a good help, especially putting them on the mirror or in your car somewhere.
for me, it’s helpful to see why i’m doing what i’m doing and how i’m taking steps towards being a better me
Even though I do at home workouts, I still love buying cute workout clothes. It definitely is a motivator for me!

New workout gear is one of my favorite motivators. Nothing gets me excited about working out like a new workout outfit. 😉
I would recommend getting on a program and sticking to it! <3

Schedule it in to your day! Then you don’t even need to think twice about it because it’s part of what you need to do.
These all work for me! In fact, I just bought new workout clothes last weekend.
those tights are AWESOME! i recommend investing in a workout… so that means planning for it, getting a buddy (like you mentioned), and if needed paying for it… because then you won’t back out!

workout clothes are always my motivation! I have set goals and every 50 miles I log I can buy some new workout clothes!

I have a hard time getting motivated. Usually if I set a goal and reach it I’ll think of something really good to reward myself. That helps!

Working out with a buddy is for me perfect, we help each other and who wouldn’t want to hang out with a good friend.
