HAVE MOTIVATIONAL QOUTES AND VIDEOS:
This is because your environment can impact your mindset and your results in a great way. You can have these quotes on the walls of your room and in your phone. These messages fills your mind with positivity which leads to positive actions.
HAVE A SCHEDULE:
Put your workout in a calendar and or in a diary. Set a specific time to train and stick to it. This will help you since after practicing it for some time, this workout routine will turn to a habit.

MAKE IT FUN:
Don’t restrict yourself to a boring routine. Choose some exercises that will motivate you when doing them. Its okay to break rules sometimes but dont overdo it. Sometime it’s okay to hangout with friends for dinner and so on but be careful.
SORROUND YOURSELF WITH FRIENDS WHO LIKE DOING WHAT YOU DO:
Make friendship with motivated people who are read to support you and grow together. have friends who are ready to push you to do it when you feel tired or bored. Have some healthy competition as this will make you work harder.
