I did two things - got weights for home. And cut my workouts to max 30 minutes. I know weights at home doesn’t work for everyone but not having that step of getting to the gym was important for me. And making the time short made me stick with it. Did the same with my walks. Even if I had time for an hour walk I didn’t want to walk that long so I just didn’t. It was liberating really.

The days I only have 30% to give, I give 100% of that 30% and call it a day.

Good job, OP!

Maybe try to fit in some dynamic stretches and foam rolling as part of your shorter routines.. I mean you should definitely do that anyway but I personally think it’s a good practice to get into especially if you’re cutting your gym time. Just helps in the self care area.

Because my wildest dreams involve not working.

You might need a new goal that'll get you fired up about the gym!

Mine have to do with mastering core exercises (bench, squat, deadlift), being good at certain physical activities (playing with kids, catching a flight, doing manual labor), and motivating my wife to keep going.

That ass tho

What are you doing at the gym

....is this a real question?

Follow an actual plan/program so you have goals to reach for and progression to track. Then motivation sources become endless

Me after watching one episode of Rick and Morty

A man has 2 lives, the first is the time before he realizes he has only 1 life .

Gotcha I was just curious if you were walking to go walk. I usually start out on an incline treadmill or bike to get the blood flowing as well.

I would say start with protein, Not sure what your goals are but based on your goals depends the protein you get. Then after 1-2 months you’ll see a difference but feel like you hit a plateau. Then add pre workout, will give you the boost to push harder. Then if you want to bulk up, 4 months down the line, add creatine. By the 6 month mark you will see a big difference and you won’t need to be motivated to go because your body will feel the need to workout.

Discipline takes years to gather and lots of decisions. Stay consistent even if it feels like a chore. When you start to see results you will get the motivation back. Right now you just need the discipline to stay consistent

Idk, the fat around my belly is pretty heavy too

What type of supplements?

I do other stuff too

Start with self discipline in other areas of your life first.

When you wake up, you GET UP. No hiding under the covers. No browsing the internet. You’re up.

The self disciple will spill into other areas of your life.

Wait, you walk to the gym to get on a treadmill?

One thing I recommend is, when you’re setting a goal at the gym to do something like… 30 minutes on the treadmill. It’s okay to take a break, if you need 10, 20, or an hour to take a break after 10 or 20 minutes, that’s okay. But you need to tell yourself “hey, it’s okay if you want to take a breather, but we’re not leaving the gym until we finish 30 minutes of running, that’s why we’re here.” Take what time you need to get those 30 minutes done, but you set that goal, and you’re working out your brain as much as your muscles to reach your goals by pushing to complete it despite what your brain says otherwise. Baby steps…

Treat this like a pool, there’s no need to leap from the diving board to learn how to swim. Dip your toes in the water everyday (or every other) until you get your whole leg in, then your hips, your stomach, and your arms, and now you’re floating.

It’s perfectly okay to come back another day if it’s too cold. But the only way to know is if you’re consistently dipping your toes in the water.

Remember that you are loved and have a purpose. Time is limited, and we need to make the most out of our lives while we still can, and that requires a lot of hard work. God bless you, stranger.

***she and thank you :) I think on days I don’t feel good, I should give myself some slack. But if I do 10 one day, I should push myself to do more the next day.

Start buying supplements. The expense of buying those will keep you accountable. Plus they will help you accomplish your goals better and you’ll feel better.
