I just caught myself in the mirror and it's worse than I thought!!

It must be the amount of Baileys I single handedly guzzled in November when it went on offer.

I'm pretty active and fit but finding it harder to get motivated these days beyond the minimum.

I'm looking for inspiration.

What do you do to get motivated to get active enough to get fitness/strength/shape results?

Keep exercise interesting; boredom/stagnation will lead to capitulation.

Set goals but make them achievable.

Most of all, enjoying exercise (and the subsequent benefits) is what will ultimately keep one at it for years to come.

I used to have a banging body.

I'll show you me naked now.

That will get you motivated to get off your arse and put the Baileys down

Anxiety and body dysmorphia work.

I know it’s a exaggeration but you’d need to eat about 9000 calories a day to gain that

I just force myself, I find waiting for motivation doesn't always work.

It's hard getting back into, but once you force yourself to keep fit for a few weeks it becomes a habit, and then it starts to feel weird when you arnt doing it.

Like I said on another thread, I have a gym in my house and I feel guilty if I don’t use it and like a waste of life.

It keeps me honest, anyway.

I’ve actually lost weight over Christmas

However i’ve been slacking the gym.

What I’ve done is book Ibiza for late June 24.

Now i’ve no choice but to gym it 4 times a week because i ain’t going all jiggly and lumpy

My advice is book a holiday.

Good reality check.. Yes, if motivation isn't coming. It's a force until the benefit becomes habit.

I think I'm baseline reasonablly strong and fit. But my usual activity isn't working for me so I need an extra forve for the usual force

Don’t make goals - just make changes to the environment you live in. Can’t be bothered to go for a walk/run? Just park the car a 15 min walk from work and that will give you a 30 mins walk a day (ie a couple of miles). You can make lots of little changes that add up quite quickly and get your fitness back.

Every time you want something fattening, think about your waist size... at the very least it will make you feel guilty when you still go ahead and eat pizza and beer.

Also... the first place to gain fat is the last place to loose it.

And we tend to store fat around our mid-sections (hips, stomach, ass) first...

So you've got to loose fat around your whole body before you start seeing the fat loss from your belly... it's important to remember this when you're trying to loose weight.

Good ideas.. I can be bothered.. Now that I'm thinking about it.. It's mostly that I need to do more than my usual which is the thing I'm finding hard. So yes, little extras will help.

I already run 12/15k a week and do push/pull ups/planks and yoga daily. But it's not cutting it.

Weights is the way to go. If you have some at home Try caroline Girvan workouts on YouTube. You're already in great shape so it won't take you long to see results.

Somewhere In The Ether…

Experiment with different forms of exercise is another tip I would suggest.

Free weights are not everyone’s cup of tea and jogging/swimming etc may be fun for some whilst leaving others utterly cold and disinterested.

Fortuitously, there are a plethora of different exercise ‘styles’ available to choose from.

From yoga to calisthenics, to isometrics and a myriad of cardio themed exercises (Zumba, aerobics etc) and everything in between; Enjoyment is key once again

That’s your issue

Cardio just burns calories. That’s it

Weights burn calories, but they also build muscle

Muscle is what gives your body shape.

Start lifting weight. Don’t even worry about you diet for 6 months. Just lift hard. You won’t be disappointed

OK yes this makes sense.. As soon as I turned 50 I literally noticed a dramatic difference in the areas of fat storage and my shape changing. Im losing muscle mass.

Oh God.. It really is worse than I thought.. Organised weight sessions. On my own, I'm not gonna make it. Im going to have to develop a PT kink alongside Ananke!

One thing that always works for me when I'm unhappy with my weight (and people think I'm crazy or talk shit when I say this) but I eat one meal a day.

I'm very much all or nothing with alot of things especially food, I love to cook, I love to eat, but when I eat, I eeeeeeat.

So when I start feeling a way about myself I force myself not to eat for a day, go to work without money, make sure I've got no food in the house and don't stop at a shop on the way home (whatever it takes if it feels too hard)

After I get through that day I naturally don't feel that hungry the following day and one meal feels plenty.

And then that's my eating habit, until I fuck it up again

Skip the gym.

Literally roll out of bed in the morning and exercise in your pyjamas. No pretentious shite, no figuring out what to wear, worrying about getting on the right equipment. Half an hour, all sweaty, straight in the shower and you're ready to start your day.

An unusually short(ish) comment from me.

I want to be shit-hot at tennis.

I'm getting shit-hot at tennis.

I love playing tennis.

In the process, I've lost 5 stone.

I'm not as shit-hot at tennis yet as I can be.

And I can be really shit-hot. It's all there, bursting at the seams. So I do yoga, Pilates, HIIT...because my tennis gets better through them.

And I should be shit-hot by Summer.

During that process, I'll most likely lose another 5 stone.

My focus is the tennis. Not the weight.

The weight loss is the necessary result of my desire to be shit-hot at tennis.

So find what you want to DO and BE that has weight loss as the by-product. Something YOU love.

Psychologically, it's a better spend of energy/will/hard work than more nebulous notions of right weight/wrong weight/societal injunctions.

It goes further, for longer, and it's YOUR desire, not how the world tells you to be.

If you can't find a passion that does that, then dieting and exercise still work, but a passion that has them as a by-product rarely feels like the hard work that traditional diet/exercise without passion do.

It's YOURS, rather than what we think we should be or do to please others, or get them off our case.

Pleasing others works. Fear of looking or being overweight work too. Neither "taste" anywhere near as good as a passion that brings fitness with it though.

If you can find that passion, the other stuff follows inevitably, and almost too easily.
