How to motivate yourself to exercise

Set a goal
Answer yourself the question: why do I want to play sports? If your goal is to lose weight, don’t be shy to admit it to yourself. Calculate how many times a week you need to exercise, and try not to skip.
Don’t expect too much from yourself
The easiest way to lose motivation is to not get the results you want. But remember that if you are not a professional athlete, you will not be able to achieve quick results, and this is absolutely normal. Training and exercise are more of a way of life; they require regularity and consistency. Regardless of what goal you are pursuing, you must wait at least a month for the first significant results to appear.
Enjoy
Create a workout program that you enjoy. If you don’t like lifting weights, eliminate these exercises from your schedule. Don’t like working out on the treadmill? So you don’t need to do this. The best motivation for sports and fitness is a feeling of joy and satisfaction after a fruitful workout.
Remind yourself of the health benefits
On days when you’re too tired and want to skip a workout, remember the benefits that exercise and exercise bring to your health. Not only do they get your body in great shape, but they also reduce your risk of heart disease and increase your life expectancy by up to five years.
