Tips on how to stay motivated
1
It’s okay to start small, just start anywhere.
Find what works for you and do that. Doing something today is better than the nothing done yesterday. Even if you only work out for 10-15 minutes, that is more than you would have done otherwise.

Set a goal for yourself.
Setting a goal for yourself can give you something to work towards and help keep you motivated. If your goal is to workout twice a week, then treat it like you would a doctor’s appointment. Put it in your calendar and make it a point to go.

It’s easier to workout when you have someone to workout with.
Starting your fitness journey and keeping it up can be an easier process with someone to help keep stay motivated and accountable.
