5 Tips to GET MOTIVATED to Exercise + Peter Kraus Fitness

Happy Tuesday!! For the past couple years, I’ve shared my favorite activewear picks, as well as my Spotify Workout Playlist. With the new year upon us, I wanted to share a little more on fitness, but this time I’m sharing my 5 TIPS that have helped me get MOTIVATED to workout over the past 3 months.

How I Got Back into Working Out – Peter Kraus Fitness

I talked in my Affordable Activewear post about how I’ve been going to Peter Kraus Fitness 2 times a week! It had been so long since I had been to a gym and I needed to get my butt in shape. Peter’s classes are an hour long and most days I have someone else to go with me! Sticking with a consistent schedule was the easiest way for me to get back in the groove of working out.

{If you’re local, you get your first 2 classes for FREE, plus 20% off your package when you sign up on your 2nd visit at PKFit. Don’t want to go alone? DM me on IG and I can let you know when I’m going next!}

How I Get/Stay Motivated to Work Out

Pack Ahead of Time – have a specific bag for the gym. I have a cute pink floral bag that I found from Target. Pick out your outfit and pack your bag the night before.
Cute Activewear – I love having cute activewear to pick from. It gets me motivated to want to change into my workout clothes. There’s no going back once you’re changed, right?! 😉

Accountability Partner – This is HUGE – even the thought that someone I know might be at the workout class gets my butt to the gym! Find your best accountability partner and use each other to keep you on track!
When SORE, Don’t STOP – my hardest struggle with getting back into working out is that when I am super sore after my first time back at the gym, I don’t go back for a while. Instead, the best thing to do is to keep going consistently and work through the soreness.
Don’t just go to the gym, take a CLASS!!!! – a gym class pushes you harder than you would push yourself. I would spend most of my time wandering at the gym, not knowing what to do for a workout. Now that I’ve been taking classes, I feel like I get so much more done when I go to the gym between classes.

What is your biggest TIP for staying motivated to workout? I hope this helps inspire you to get out there and get into shape! It’s a new year, which means a fresh start!! It’s never too late!
