For many people, the anticipation of working out evokes feelings of laziness and lethargy because they hate it so much. Then there are others who may love to work out yet they just can’t get motivated to get up, get out and go to the gym.
So how do you get around this problem?
I must admit, as much as I love working out, I often ask myself – “why am I doing this anyway?” just before I put on my sneakers and take off.
In an effort to get you moving, I’ve come up with three simple strategies for getting around that sluggish feeling when it pops up.
Consume Energy Boosting Foods
A diet that’s deficient in essential nutrients can substantially reduce your energy levels leading to extreme fatigue and general weakness. Collectively, these symptoms can make it very difficult to start a workout.
Eat foods that house substantial amounts of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and antioxidants. Some of the best include leafy green and cruciferous vegetables, citrus fruit and berries, healthy whole grains (oatmeal and quinoa), nuts (walnuts, almonds, and Brazil nuts), and cold-water fish like salmon and tuna. You can also get a substantial dose of energy with moderate consumption of either coffee or tea (about 8-16 ounces per day).
Eating quality foods on a daily basis can significantly boost your energy levels making it much easier to engage in exercise and all other types of everyday physical activity.
