Motivation comes and goes, but having the ability to keep it can be a struggle sometimes. Having different reasons on how to motivate yourself is key. Planning, having goals and having the right mindset are some helpful things when it comes to motivation. For me, sometimes I can struggle too, but believe me every day counts and it is a day that takes you closer to your biggest goal.
There are many benefits that exercising regularly will bring you. Some of those are:

2. Buy workout outfits
This may sound silly, but believe me. It doesn’t matter if you do workout at home or at the gym, having some cute workout outfits can be motivating. Here are some of my workout outfits that I love that are super comfortable and affordable.
3. Plan your workout routine in advance
Plan your exercise routine a week in advance, that way when the day comes you already know what to do. Make it fun and with a variety of exercises.
