Getting motivated to get fit

Jump to newest

Currently I am struggling to get fit, I love cycling but don't seem to be able to do anything about it.

I used to race in my early 20's, I trained or raced everyday.

I went out this year for a few rides to get ready for the London to Brighton bike, but didnt get usual good feeling that comes from a decent work out afterwards.

Not sure if that has something to do with it or not.

Any ideas would be gratefully received, as I have signed up for the ride london but that isn't getting me motivated.

Does it have to be cycling? Maybe a change is what you need? 5 a side football? Running? Spinning classes? Maybe you’ve become subconsciously disillusioned with cycling so a new challenge would do the trick?

I find getting older doesn’t help. I love rugby. My body’s broken from it. It doesn’t get easier and I’ve had to come to terms with that.

Try to find someone to cycle with will help. And afraid the age thing could be an issue, expecting to feel and do the same as when we were younger is sure way to be disappointed.

As already mentioned try other things, again the age thing means needing to do all round exercise.

Put yourself in situations where your forced into it, go out with your bike and no money on you so that you have no choice but to cycle home, get dropped off a couple miles from your destination so that you gotta walk the rest of the way

Thanks for the advice.

Cycling I still have a passion for, as I have done it for so long. I still get the sense of achievement when I get up a hill, where before I walked up.

Just missing the buzz.

I do airsoft and paintball, but running about takes me a week to recover.

I know old age, don't remind me

Just around the corner

The problem with running is that you have to keep doing it to get any better, or even just to get used to doing it.

I’ve discovered a liking for HIIT classes, and swimming.

I got fit again after retiring from rugby by joining the touch rugby team.

It includes women and kids because it's non contact.

Great sociable sport.

"Strava?"

I use Strava, I find it good and annoying.

Good as it shows me when I am flying, annoying as it lies when it tells me how bad I was. LoL
