15 ULTIMATE ways to MOTIVATE to play sports!

How to motivate yourself to play sports and move your buttocks when it's raining outside and your fluffy sofa is calling you inexorably? How not to see the sporting activity as a chore but as a real pleasure?

Did you know: about 80% of the newly registered customers in a traditional gym give up 3 months after! The sport can be seen by some as a real torture, but by making some simple changes in his life, the sport can become a pleasure, see a drug.

Here are 15 super effective methods to keep your motivation and NEVER loosely abandon your sneakers in the closet!

# 01: find "WHY" you want to play sports

We never do things by chance. If you start a physical activity without a specific goal, you go right into the wall, it's 100% guaranteed.

Why do you want to play sports?

This question may sound silly, but it is the basis of any project you launch: if the reasons are strong, it will give you energy to overcome all difficulties.

Write down on a paper your 10 reasons that motivate you to play sports and tape it on your bathroom mirror.

Some ideas :

To stay healthy because I know that physical activity is ESSENTIAL to stay in shape

To lose all my extra pounds

To strengthen my heart

To develop my muscle mass

To eliminate my toxins

To remove my cellulite

To play with my children as long as possible

To have a tonic and dynamic body

To be beautiful while naked

To have protruding abs in place of my belly pout and flaccid

To be physically strong and be able to better help others

To prove to me that I can do it and be mentally stronger

etc.

# 02: Set Precise and DATED Goals

Precision is a formidable weapon when you want to achieve something.

As I explain in the MOTIVATION BOOSTERS program, too many people are unclear about their goals: "I wish to be happier", "I want more money", "I want a new job".

All this does not make sense, these are notions where there is nothing concrete!

Yet the more precise you are, the more realistic and palpable your project is.

Thus, your brain will cogitate in the background (in your subconscious) to find the best "HOW" that will arrive at the result.

Here are some examples :

* Do not say, "I want to start running" (where do I go?)

* Say, "I want to run 10 km in less than 45 minutes before Christmas"

* Do not say, "I want to be more muscular" (well, more muscular fingers?)

* Say: "I want to take 7 cm of biceps before Monday, October 02"

* Do not say, "I'll go to the gym" (meaning "when I think about it")

* Say, "I'll go to the room 3 times a week, in the morning at 10:00 or in the evening at 7:00 pm"

* Do not say, "I want to lose weight" (it does not mean anything)

* Say, "I want to lose 10 Kg by Tuesday December 15th"

Your goals must, of course, be realistic! (No, you can not lose 15 Kg in one night)

# 03: avoid doing sports alone

Some like loneliness to play sports, this can be understood. Nevertheless, when we are alone with ourselves, it is very easy to give up and find all the pretexts of the world not to move the buttocks.

If you play sports with others:

You motivate and encourage each other

You create a real team spirit

Your sports friends can challenge you and challenge you

You have "accounts" to give back to your teammates

It's much harder to find phony excuses

Even if for you, doing sports is complicated, you can at least talk about the rain, good weather and tell gossip (who sleeps with whom, etc.)

If you really do not have anyone around to share your sport, find a Facebook group that discusses your sport and share your successes and challenges. Having virtual sports friends is better than nothing

An important point: if possible, find sports friends who have a level roughly equivalent to yours, so it will be less risky to want to compare and feel "zero".

# 04: launch CHALLENGES!

In addition to the 2 previous methods, if you can not motivate yourself and give you specific objectives, run a challenge and do it alone, or better, with your spouse and / or your friends and keep up mutually aware of your results and difficulties.

Here, for example, 2 challenges that we propose on BMoove:

The challenge "flat stomach"

Squat-A-Tuna to (finally) have concrete buttocks!

Once you have finished a challenge, do another one! And remember:

" What does not challenge you does not change you! "

# 05 Play a sport that you REALLY enjoy, that gives you FUN (and be PATIENT)

It is very easy to try a new sport because it is fashionable (and your colleagues talk about it every day at the coffee machine).

It is much more complicated to continue this sport if it does not correspond to your deep desires or because it does not correspond to what you are looking for in a physical activity.

An obvious principle to not give up, and yet all too often forgotten, is that you must really LOVE the sport you practice and enjoy it (see our article "do the sport you like!").

On the other hand, it is true that it can take time: in the beginning, one can "suffer" to resume a physical activity, but very often, after the long sessions of body aches, your body gets used to this new activity, you start to progress and the pleasure finally arrives!

Besides, do not get discouraged! All learning has phases of "plateau" where one hardly progresses any more, it is normal and it reboots with the time. Just be aware of it and accept it.

Do not be fooled by the first sessions: leave at least 1 month of regular activity to decide if a sport is right for you or not.

# 06: Sports should come from YOU, not from others

If you do sport to please your spouse it will not work.

You will go to the gym backwards, you will find excuses and in the end you will go into the wall. Do not sweat to please your spouse, do it for yourself.

But if you sweat together, it's true that it's even better! (yes, well, this sentence is a little tendentious ...).

Find your WHY, not the one of others.

# 07: Set a fixed pace and plan your sports sessions in advance on your agenda

The safest way to play sports is to impose yourself!

A good solution lies in the idea of ​​setting an immutable rhythm.

For example :

1 session per week the first month

2 sessions a week the second month

then 3 sessions per week from the 3rd month.

It's up to you to schedule these sessions in your diary several weeks in advance.

Indeed, if you plan to play sports at "a time in the week, when you have time", you will always find a good excuse for not going to sweat a good shot.

Remember point # 02: precision is successful.

Thus, you will get in the habit of planning your sports sessions in advance on your diary (electronic or paper) and to engage with yourself even to not touch these sacred moments (except in case of force majeure type tremor earth or unexpected extraterrestrial invasion).

# 08: never wait for the GOOD TIME to play sports

When we do not want to do something, we find excuses more easily than means:

I will go to register in January, it will be my new good resolution (which will not be held of course)

I will start running when it's warmer (translation: I plan to do sport 4 months in the year and the other 8 months, I'm fat and hibernate like a polar bear ...)

I do not have money (while it is free to play sports at home, with friends, ...)

I'll start later, I have too much work (later = never)

I will start the sport when the children will be big (to have a goal so precise is complicated ... bravo, you are very strong in excuses phony!)

etc.

In short, if you really want to play sports, stop listening to yourself and do it. Period.

Print the following basic sentence on a large sheet of paper that is clearly visible in your home:

Success comes when your dreams become bigger than your excuses.

# 09: watch less television (or series downloaded "legally" on the Internet)

Television and Internet are real traps motivated: once comfortably installed in his sofa or in bed, it takes a COLOSSAL force to tear off this grip and put on his sneakers.

And I'm not talking about social networks and their hold on our lives! In the program Motivation Boosters, I show you, by the way, a trick a bit strange that allows you to intelligently put Facebook in mute in order to atomize your natural desire to postpone it until later (at the beginning we do not see too much the report but the results are more than astounding).

Regarding television, the figures are frightening:

Children between 4 and 14 years old watch, on average, the television 2h18 a day, the 15/34 year old watch it 2h45 and it is the over 50 who break the records by looking at it almost 5 hours a day!

Meanwhile, one in three French people have sleep disorders, of which 20% have chronic insomnia. Almost 20% of French people sleep less than 6 hours a night!

The good news is that when you play sports:

At least you're not sitting in front of a screen,

You sleep better: if it is not practiced too late, the sport brings indeed a sleep more restorative and deeper.

# 10: the hard part is to start! (Then it's pretty fastoche)

You're at home, slouching in your couch in front of the n-th replay of a sad film to die for, and suddenly you have the crazy idea to make 50 pumps!

What will be the most difficult in your opinion?

Make 50 pumps and be proud of yourself!

Try to extricate yourself from your couch. Wait 20 minutes. Try a second time to extricadise this super soft sofa, drag on the ground, play 10 minutes with the cat, lie on the ground, have a sudden big desire to sleep, breathe a big blow, put his hands to the height shoulders, sheathe, breathe a big blow a second time and press hard on his arms to make the first pump.

I think we all have the answer

As in a car engine, it takes a lot of energy to start the movement, then the movement is self-sustaining and it seems natural.

# 11: do not stop too long

The obvious consequence of the previous point, when you stay a long time without doing sports, the recovery can be VERY difficult: when restarting, it feels like nothing and have forgotten everything!

Conversely, if one practices a sport regularly, one enters a virtuous circle which pushes us to continue to train us: the sport calls the sport! If you get out of this circle, it can be hard to go back.

An extended period without physical activity (summer holidays for example) may be beneficial for the body to give it a good recovery period.

Nevertheless, in order not to be completely disconnected (and rusty) continue to have smooth and regular activities such as walking, cycling in ride mode, recreational swimming, ... The restart will be easier!

# 12: start gradually (no need to do your foufou)

A very common mistake is to do too much in the first days (over-motivation of the beginning) and then give up everything (weariness, injury, lack of knowledge, impression of not progressing ...)

Do you want to start the run? Do NOT start with 20 Kms jogging.

Do you want to start bodybuilding? DO NOT load your bar at 90 Kg as your neighbor.

Etc.

Calm your ardor: it is better to do light sessions, short and regular at first, then increase the pace very gradually.

# 13: let yourself be carried away by loud music!

Nothing like a good piece of music at the tempo supported to motivate thoroughly to play sports!

Moreover, as I teach you in the Motivation Boosters program, it is possible to associate some little-known neuro-linguistic programming techniques with precise musics in order to maintain your motivation in all circumstances (even when you are demotivated and you have a huge desire to procrastinate).

Music helps us in the effort: it maintains vigor and excitement and it reduces the negative aspects (fatigue, tension). But above all, it pushes us to surpass ourselves and explode our performances!

The ideal is to find YOUR song (or your playlist) that automatically gives you want to put on your sneakers! In case of low motivation, play this piece and feel the tingling of excitement start to arrive!

Watch on Deezer, Spotify, YouTube ... (search for "workout music") hundreds of special sports and motivation playlists just waiting for you.

Load these playlist on your player or on your phone, place the headphones on your ears and forward for a sport session that will tear everything!

# 14: admire the benefits and start again!

What's more rewarding than seeing the first results happen!

Be able to run for 30 minutes without being out of breath

To be able to lift a bar of 100 Kg

Being able to repeat a very technical movement once more than the day before

See his muscles take shape

Etc.

Write down your performances in a small notebook or on a digital document and follow your own evolution. Your results will be your best reward and you will have only one desire: start again!
