<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou need to change your passwords regularly anyway, so why not use them to help you get motivated to go to the gym? Literally spell out what you want to accomplish. For example, if you want work up to 30 minutes on the treadmill, consider this type of password: 30#Tread. Or maybe you want to motivate yourself to go to bed by 10 p.m. every night. Try \u201c10PMzzz.\u201d That makes them easier to remember, plus you\u2019ll be reinforcing your goals several times a day. #winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Put yourself on the calendar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve all been there. You vow to spend just a couple more minutes on Instagram and poof. It\u2019s hours later and your workout motivation is gone. But the same digital devices that distract you can be used for motivation, too. Use your phone\u2019s calendar to set \u201cmeetings\u201d to get to the gym, get to bed, or \u2014 dare to dream \u2014 get a little time to yourself to de-stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Write a reminder from your future self.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Athletes stay on track by imaging their \u201cfuture self\u201d winning, and you can do the same. Here\u2019s how. Instead of telling yourself, \u201cI want to go to the gym three times this week,\u201d actually write \u201cwent to gym\u201d on your wall calendar in big red letters on the days you plan to go. Sounds crazy, but it actually works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Work out with your best friend \u2014 yeah, the one who lives across the country. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If your workout buddy isn\u2019t local, make a plan for \u201cshared gym time\u201d when you both commit to exercising. Text each other to stay on track, and have fun with it. Send an \u201cUgh, sweaty!\u201d selfie just after a group class. Or make a bet that whoever skips a workout has to send the other a coffee shop gift card. Don\u2019t let your bestie get that latt\u00e9 instead of you! (Need tips on finding the right workout buddy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Make it a game you aim to win. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This works best with a group such as some friends from the gym or work pals. Turn a shared goal into a game that can kick up your competitive side. Who can get the most treadmill miles this week? Who logged the most classes? Whatever you choose, having a \u201creward\u201d will help you keep track of your progress and revel in your victory. Brownie sundae for the winner? Hey, we won\u2019t judge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t worry \u2014 you don\u2019t have to do them all. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Play around with these tips until you find what works best for you. And if you\u2019ve got a workout motivation hack you don\u2019t see here, please share \u2014 we\u2019d love to hear it!
