A car needs to be maintained after a certain number of miles; a battery, no matter how powerful, will run out of power after a period of time. The human body is not a machine, fitness, is not the same thing? In the long term training program, encounter physical fatigue, power is certainly inevitable.

If you look carefully enough at some of the experience shared by seniors, you can often hear: Fitness is not only in the exercise of the body, in fact, in the training of the mind, that is, "Healthy mind". Sometimes, training is no longer the body and weight confrontation, but in the sharpening of your mind.

As for how to maintain the best physical and mental state, willpower alone is not enough! To be exact, willpower can be like a car or a battery, worn out over time; how do you prolong and strengthen your motivation for fitness, so that you can become physically and mentally strong on this road of training?

Here are 5 ways to keep you motivated:

One: Write down your goals

It may seem simple, but it's something most people rarely do! The most important thing to set goals is to measure their own ability, and the clearer the goal, the better; too vague or not self-respecting, may become a paper talk. And under the big goal, in the gradual establishment of small goals, the implementation is also more solid.

For example, the year will be cut into four quarters, each quarter will set a goal; in each quarter of the big goal, will set a small goal in each month. This time you can use the concept of periodization training, follow the plan, but also less pressure to chase the target!

Two: Find a partner

Help make up, check the action, fitness partner can also play a supervisory role, when you want to be lazy, at least there are still people who can wake you up, and even in a depressed mood, the partner can also act as a spiritual mentor, to give encouragement. In addition, to see the partner progress, body better, strength growth, more or less will stimulate a competitive mindset, to strengthen your motivation to train.

Three: Try different training methods

There are many ways to achieve your goals. We all know that in the body will produce adaptive conditions, to use a move to fight the world, and whether your goal is to lose fat, the pursuit of muscle hypertrophy, strengthen the strength, there is a chance to encounter the "Plateau".

However, the most direct way to hit the plateau is to adjust the intensity and change the training plan, which is why we have recently focused on "Sharing various training methods". If you pay attention, in fact, our ultimate goal is almost the same, only the method is different!

Four: Time limit training

Not only to set goals, time limits also help to strengthen the motivation to train. Many times we may be chatting, playing on the phone at the same time, lengthening the training time, making attention lax, difficult to focus, how much will consume the enthusiasm for fitness.

If you can give the appropriate time pressure when training (usually within an hour and a half to finish), in a way, the more you can focus. Let training become an efficient work, more or less can reduce because of the long working hours lead to mental fatigue.

Five: Enjoy training

Training is painful! Well-trained people have experienced all kinds of discomfort to get to where they are today. Not only that, they are still conquering the pain at this moment, without the slightest laziness. If you ask them if they work hard? I think they will answer you, they are more than happy to enjoy the training and taste the pain themselves.

So, don't think of training as a regular job. In the process, you have to keep talking to yourself, defeat all kinds of lazy excuses, enjoy everything, regardless of success or failure, after a three, five, ten years, i believe that your mental quality can progress with the physical, evolve into a real strong man!
