i don't. there are other ways to get in shape. dance, swimming, running, going for walks, yoga, cycling, IM sports. literally going to the club burns calories, just move your body and ur chillin💘

it’s corny but what motivates me most is gratitude. grateful to have a body that CAN move, that CAN lift, that CAN get stronger. some people would give everything for a body that functions properly. so why would i waste my gift sitting around?

I think about how I want to feel when I’m older and I know I’ll regret not going to work on mobility and strength. Also if you’re someone who wants kids, imagine not being able to pick them up - or rescue them if need be!

Routine and gym buddies tbh. I will also treat myself post workout w something for me.

I noticed after I was consistent for like a month or two that my mental health was INSANELY better and my confidence peaked, I started to love seeing my progress and muscles. With school back up and my hard ass major I went down to twice a week maybe if cause I hate going. I’m getting back into it for those reasons and it also makes me feel productive while also getting to zone everything else out for an hour or two

Focus on your goals. Discipline > motivation.

I fear I just force myself to get up and go then once I’m there I’m fine

i dont. i just walk a lot. it's soooo underrated. it doesn't have to be hard and you don't necessarily need to cut time out for it either. just make little adjustments in your everyday life. park a little farther away, pace the room when youre on a phone call. when im scrolling on social media i get up and just walk around. as soon as i started to hit 10k steps every day it felt like weight just fell off. eventually kinda plateaued but i didn't gain anymore weight other than normal fluctuations

Genuinely more than achieving my dream physique which I want so bad that I can taste it - I also feel so grateful and blessed that I’m able to move my body and be healthy. Seeing deaths around me and people being sick- really just opened my eyes to using the time you have and body given to move and be active. It keeps you busy, sharp, and also is the essence of femininity. It comes also down to discipline

honestly just a cute gym outfit that i feel confident in

I try to have many different reasons for going: aesthetic, current health current future health, and mental health. I can basically always have one good reason for going with my reasoning being multifaceted. It was hard for me to stay consistent when I was only worried about aesthetics, but I’ve realized how important mental/physical health is and exercise has helped me a lot
