I actually intended to do a HIIT treadmill workout today, but seeing as every treadmill in the gym was taken, I switched it up and went for a boxing circuit; key – always be adaptive 🙂
TIP OF THE DAY: Enthusiasm = motivation! No matter what you do in life, enthusiasm is so important in keeping up motivation. This is something I’ve learned that you can “fake” until you actually believe it. For instance, as a biology major, I spend a great deal of my time studying science, which many would not consider fun; however, I’ve found if I am enthusiastic about learning, doing well on an exam, achieving success, etc., then the enthusiasm comes more naturally. Similarly, you can “fake” this enthusiasm towards health and fitness until you find it is actually authentic – tell yourself that it is fun to explore healthy food alternatives and in fun workouts, then find it to be enjoyable. Life is absolutely meaningless and dull without enthusiasm in all aspects of your life, so find it and reap the benefits 🙂
