If your sitting there telling yourself everyday I want to get in shape, I want to lose some weight, I want to look like this I want to look like that. Your at the edge of getting yourself into a gym routine but just need that extra push. Here are 5 simple steps that can follow get yourself motivated into getting back in the gym or just getting into a simple fitness routine:

Step 1: Change Your Mindset

The first thing you need to do before starting any type of fitness training at any level is changing your mindset. Find a goal that you want to reach, and discipline yourself and your mind that your gonna reach it at any cost. Once you change your mindset and start picturing and telling yourself that you will reach that goal, your are now changing your mindset towards a positive fitness lifestyle.

Step 2: Set Achievable Goals

When you set goals, set high goals for yourself. I mean why not go big or go home right? So set yourself a long term goal. That could be a certain weight you want to get down to or maybe a certain waist size you want to get to. Within that long term goal, set weekly goals and then daily goals. You want to use these short term goals with the mindset of achieving your long term goal.

Step 3: Change Your Diet

One of the many sayings within the fitness world is that abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym. Its the 80/20 rule. 80 percent in the kitchen and 20 Percent in the gym. I can definitely agree with this statement to a certain extent. You still need the work on your abs to get that definition you want, but you will really see the weight loss and results when you change you diet and eating habits. Now when you start that process of changing your diet you have to take into consideration of what exactly what results are you looking for? Do you want to build muscle mass, or tone up. Maybe you just want lose 10 to 20 pounds. All those factors are huge in choosing a diet that works for you A gallon of water a day makes the fat go away.

Step 4: Start Slow and Work You Way Up

Getting back in shape doesn't mean you walk in the gym and start lifting 200 pounds on the bench press or run 3 miles. Your body won't last very long that way. Start at a moderate pace and increase as you go along. Start with going twice a week for 1 hour for two weeks, then maybe add another hour or add a third day. Some people start at home. Do some light bodyweight workouts at home. Get the blood pumping and build up a good sweat. Then move on to actually joining a gym. Thats an example of the proper pace, when it comes to embarking on your fitness journey. When you finally get to the gym, start with light weights and high reps then as you get stronger add weight and decrease the reps. If your looking to bulk up, use more weight with low reps. If your looking lean and tone your body then you use less weight with a high reps. If you want to maybe start with cardio, start with walking or running a mile at your own pace. Then increase the speed try to cut of 5-10 seconds off your mile each time. Then maybe add another mile. I usually run at least a mile before every workout. Cardio is a huge part of fitness and getting yourself into good shape. You'll Start to feel stronger physically and feel better about yourself mentally.

Step 5: Stay Committed

When it comes to fitness and nutrition, commitment is the biggest key. A consistent regiment is a key to success. The best results come with planning a schedule to what fits best then sticking it until you reach your goal. However many days you plan out per week you have to stick to it no matter what. With Your nutrition stay committed and consistent to that diet plan. Meal Prepping is a essential way to stay consistent throughout the week to avoid stress on maintaining your diet. Everyones schedule is different so pick a day that allows you to prep for the week.
