2. Find your inspiration online

Online you can find so many amazing inspiration. A healthy lifestyle is hot and many people are living it. And also many people are showing and sharing their lifestyles online. For example, take Instagram. Many users made specials account just to show the world what they eat during the day and what they do for exercise. Some people also share their progress shots. It’s always inspiring to see how other people live their healthy lifestyles.

And if you’re really into it, you can even start your own (anonymously ;) ) account so that people can support you! You will see how motivating that is!

3. Sport buddy

No matter how great online inspiration is, sometimes you just want someone to look in your eyes to motivate you. So go find yourself a sport buddy! You will experience that it’s easier to work out if you do it together. Not only you can push each other just to kick ass a little bit harder. You will also have a lot more fun then you had working out alone.

4. Go find yourself a new work out gear

Are you still sporting in your faded sport clothes from at least five years ago? Well then just maybe now it’s time to purchase something new.
Even if you only work out in your own living room and nobody else sees you. You see you! And believe me, you feel a lot more excited to exercise if you can put on that fancy new sport shirt you just bought!
