This is how it starts and continues throughout your day. And that is your day\u2019s, err, life\u2019s story summed up in a line. But you know what, procrastination is like credit card, it\u2019s a lot of fun until you get the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But worry not, we\u2019ve got hacks to help you kick fitness procrastination out of your life.

Follow fitness blogs\/motivational videos whenever you find time \u2013 Stay motivated<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abestfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/download-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This will keep your motivation levels high. And here\u2019s why it\u2019s important. Procrastinators are generally creative and passionate (according to research and Adam Grant\u2019s TED talk theory).

Dedicate fixed timings to your newly set fitness routine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.hindustantimes.com\/rf\/image_size_640x362\/HT\/p2\/2018\/04\/30\/Pictures\/_aa689e28-4c6d-11e8-a9dc-143d85bacf22.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Motivation gets you started, but commitment is what keeps you going. Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality, Abraham Lincoln once said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, commit a particular time in the day for your fitness routine and you\u2019re sure to get your stuff aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.
