It’s a journey not a destination
Accomplishing your goals is not simply going from A to B, it is about what’s in between the beginning and the start. Losing weight is a journey in which you will mee new wonderful people, discover who you really are and learn a lot of new things. You might meet people that have the same goals that and end up being friends.
Plan ahead
It’s fine to be ambitious but working out 5 days as a novice is not going to cut it. It’s important to stay realistic. If you plan on working out 3 days a week, make sure to dedicate these days as working-out days. This way you can keep up the consistency.
Variety is key
Doing the same thing repeatedly will cause you to get bored. Try to change things up by working out with different friends or joining your friend’s workout routine. When working out in a gym try switching up your exercises.
Working out together
This can be a huge motivator. If one of you doesn’t feel like working out and the other one does; it’s most likely you end up working out together anyway. You can even make it a little competition. Ask you local gym if you could bring your friend with you. Most likely they will allow you to bring a friend!
