Motivation to train

We all know that coming to the gym is not one of the easiest things to do after a long day at work or for some of us it’s crawling out of bed a ridiculous hour to train before work, but consistency is a major factor in achieving the results that we all want to achieve, these three tips will outline some ideas on how to make sure you get to the gym.

Train with a partner
There’s nothing like a phone call from a mate to give you a call to action, as long as you can find a reliable and consistent training partner that phone call or conversation is always going to be there to hold you accountable.
Another benefit of having a training partner is knowing that you have someone there to spot you, so then you know you can push yourself that little bit further.

Record measurements
Bigger, Stronger, Leaner or increased tone… Whatever your goals are, how do you know if your training is going well if you don’t take note of where you started or where you’re up to?
An initial fitness assessment with a personal trainer is a great way to get all the info you need and want to track. Once you have all of the measurements you need you can set goals around improving them.

Variety
Regularly change your routine! This works on a number of levels, first of all you aren’t going become bored with your training. You will also get better results with your training and you are also less likely to plateau with variety in your training. Some options you may want to try for something different in your training include; outdoor training, group fitness classes or if you are concerned about leaving the gym floor, try drop sets or supersets for something different.
