How to Boost Motivation to Be Active
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of elation you get after doing a great workout. You’re feeling motivated and happy, and these feelings are due to the release of endorphins, such as serotonin and dopamine.
But there are lots of reasons why you should keep going on your fitness journey and continue to exercise regularly.
Think about your ‘why’. What made you start working out in the first place? This will help you to keep going even after the temporary post-workout elation wears off.
Maybe you wanted to boost your fitness levels so that you are able to run around with your kids on the playground. Maybe you wanted to challenge yourself to a half-marathon or even a full marathon at some point in the near future.
Whenever you’re feeling unmotivated, remember how great it feels after you’ve completed a great workout and keep your long-term goals in mind.
