Friends who are just beginning to exercise will definitely encounter some problems, and the biggest problem is that because of work or life, there is not enough time to go to the gym to exercise.

However, just because you don't have time to go to the gym doesn't mean you don't have to exercise, you can exercise at home. At this time, some friends will jump out again. I am really tired and can't keep exercising. What should I do?

Many people swear by themselves when they first start exercising, then due to various reasons, the interest in exercising begins to decline, and the frequency of exercising begins to decline. When fitness motivation and self-discipline decline, you will eventually give up training.

The word "persistence" is difficult for many people to achieve, especially fitness.

How can we maintain the self-discipline of fitness and increase the frequency of exercise? Here are a few ways to improve our self-discipline.

1. Change into your gym clothes and know what you are going to do

Whenever we struggle whether to go to the gym today, or whether to work out at home. At this time, you might as well change your fitness clothes first.

In psychology, there is a phenomenon called "dress cognition", because people's clothing has a symbolic meaning and can affect our behavior from the subconscious.

So, we can use this one thing, whenever we don't want to go to the gym and lack motivation, we can change into gym clothes. When you've changed your clothes, you'll be wasting your clothes if you don't train, and that's when you'll have a lot of motivation to supervise exercise.

2. Look at a mental nitrogen pump every morning

Everyone will be lazy. At this time, we might as well click on a video of our favorite fitness UP master, or watch the tweets about fitness, and learn a little fitness knowledge. At work, look at the people who are walking in front of us, and ask yourself, do you imagine how to get in good shape just like them?

Of course, this method is not only limited to fitness, but can also be used in many aspects of our lives.

3. Meet like-minded people

We have to take the initiative to change the environment around us. When we first start exercising, we can ask if there are any friends around us who can exercise together, or we can go to the gym to find some familiar faces and see if we can work together. fitness.

When people around us are doing the same thing, we can push each other and make progress together. At this time, we will not think about being lazy, and hesitating whether to go to the gym.

4. Plan pre-recording

When we choose not to go to the gym, the vibe of home training is certainly not as good. However, we can do better ourselves. For example, we can use the mobile phone software to record or write down the home movements to be trained on a small piece of paper, and record the number of training sets or movements for each group.

We can also download some timing software on our phones, so that we can monitor ourselves while we train at home. Otherwise, during the rest time, you are likely to play with your mobile phone and miss the rest time between sets. Therefore, we have to remind ourselves through some timing software.

The above four points are through some methods to improve our fitness self-discipline. When we gradually form a habit of fitness, our self-discipline will gradually form, and we start to like the feeling of fitness, and we can rely on ourselves.
