We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us how they stay motivated to exercise and how they make it through tough workouts. Check out the awesome tips they shared.
1. Wash your hair only on days you work out.
2. Put on your workout clothes.
3. Write down how you feel after every workout.
4. Remember why you started.
5. Ask yourself: "Will I regret skipping this workout?"
6. Sign up for classes at boutique studios.
7. Try group fitness.
8. Get addicted to the post-exercise endorphin rush.
9. Pretend there's a crowd and it's going wild.
10. Surround yourself with motivation.
I hang up motivational pictures on my mirrors, like Kendall Jenner or just good sayings. I also have my goal weight written everywhere — car mirror, refrigerator, calendar, etc. — so it’s a constant reminder to work toward that number. —Gabrielle Capasso
11. Give yourself micro-challenges.
12. And give yourself longer-term challenges too.
13. Work out with people who will cheer you on.
Having people standing behind me, yelling and jumping up and down when I’m stuck at the bottom of a heavy squat is the best motivator. Because it hypes me up, but also because it means everybody else in the gym looks over to see what’s going on, and fear of failing with that big of an audience makes me at least 20% stronger. —Christine Byrne
14. Listen to audiobooks.
