  • Biologically, our brains are doing everything they can to not work out," says one psychotherapist. But studies show that there are simple, concrete steps we can take to overcome that.

The article from MSN discusses various strategies to find motivation for working out, as suggested by fitness experts. It highlights the importance of setting realistic goals, understanding the personal benefits of exercise beyond just physical health, such as mental well-being and stress relief. Experts recommend finding a workout buddy or joining a fitness community for accountability and support. They also suggest varying the exercise routine to keep it interesting, incorporating activities one enjoys, and setting up a reward system for meeting fitness goals. Additionally, the article touches on the psychological aspect, advising to focus on the feeling of accomplishment post-workout rather than the effort required to start. Lastly, it emphasizes the role of intrinsic motivation, where the drive to exercise comes from within, fueled by personal values and long-term health benefits rather than external pressures.
