One of the biggest obstacles to staying on track for fitness is losing motivation. People are just starting an exercise program can find themselves quickly tired of the same routine. Keeping exercise appealing and maintaining a good fitness perspective is key to long-term success.

If you have to watch the exact same episode of your favorite television show every day for the rest of your life, you would probably be banging your head against the wall by the end of the week. You would change the channel, pick up a book, or do anything you could to avoid something you once enjoyed.

Yet, many people starting on a fitness program feel compelled to follow the same routine, day after day after day, and consequently fall off the exercise wagon due to sheer boredom.

SO the easy answer to this is find a motivator. But the harder question is what motivates you or what steps can you take to feel more motivated about your fitness program. Here are three things you can do to improve your motivation and prevent fitness program boredom.

The most expensive - find yourself a fitness trainer. Fitness trainers are actually those who are expert in analyzing and creating a fitness program that is right for you. They are the ones who will calculate your appropriateness to a certain program with regards to your fitness level, create the program according to your specific needs, and keep you stimulated and inspired by giving you activities that will not bore you.

The problem most do not follow the fitness program I have here with just bodyweight calisthenics, many are expensive and not all fitness trainers are created equal…some stink at it.

The other two choices that I prefer…

Do not do the same thing everyday. Now you noticed that my program has me doing a similar thing on the same day, high intensity on one day followed by restful day the next followed by an increasing level of training until I reach the high intesity day again and then starting over. However I do not do the exact same thing everyday or even the same thing every week. I mix and match my exercises. You can also create games with the exercises - Matt Furey’s Bible is nothing more than a deck of cards - you can create the same thing yourself by using a regular deck of cards choosing a specific exercise and doing that exercise the number of times as is shown on the card as you flip the cards over one by one. Heck you can pick four different exercises and when a specific suit appears you do the exercise associated with that suit and do it the number of times on the card. If you are creative you can find other games to play to keep your fitness program interesting.

The third thing that you can do is work with your motivation externally. Meaning keep your mind focused on your goal while working out. Imagine yourself being in the condition you want to be. Keep your focus before and after your workout on what you want to achieve. If it is a passionate vision for you then you will need no other motivation. Remember the purpose of your fitness program and the need to remain persistent to achieve your goal/dream. Your motivation will come for your burning desire to be in the best shape of your life.
