How To Stay Motivated To Reach Your Body Building Goals
Saying you want to become a bodybuilder is a start down the path toward
excellent physical fitness, but it does not get you any further than the first
step. There are a lot of obstacles and potholes awaiting you on that path, and
maintaining enough motivation to move past them and keep body building is not
always easy. The process of getting in to good physical condition is hard work,
and it is truly easier to find reasons not to do it, but in the end, your
results will only be as substantial as the work you do to get there.
Find What Motivates You
You may have figured out by now that you cannot find motivation in the same
things that your friends or mentors do. Every person is different and has a
different reason for body building. It may be losing weight, gaining strength,
building self confidence, or something else altogether. It is very important
that you identify those motivators that give you the drive to continue, or you
only be a bodybuilder for a very short time, and you will see no success. At the
same time, those around you who have identified their true motivators will
flourish in their efforts.
Use Music
When there is something to focus on besides the discomfort, sweat, work, and
strain, the entire workout becomes a little easier and goes much faster for any
bodybuilder. By using music in whatever genre works best for you, you can set a
pace for your workouts and provide yourself with just enough distraction to help
you move through the tough parts. While the choice of genre is up to you, upbeat
music will help you keep pace better and complete a far more effective workout.
See Yourself Successful
It’s called visualization. From the day you decide to begin body building, you
must be able to visualize yourself healthy, lean, and physically fit. If you can
visualize it, it becomes a realistic aspiration and is therefore much easier to
shoot for. If you are a visual person, try photoshopping your face on the body
of a bodybuilder you admire.
Set Small Goals
If you are just beginning in the field of body building, the goal of becoming a
toned, muscular bodybuilder may seem so out of reach that you can never get
there. However, if you set the goal of being able to lift a certain number of
pounds or of reducing your waist size an attainable amount, you will be better
able to work toward that goal. When you reach it, you will feel accomplished and
be more motivated to work toward the next small goal.
Keep An Eye On Your Role Models
If there is a particular bodybuilder you would like to emulate, read up on him
or her. Pay particular attention to how he achieved his level of fitness and
what he does now to maintain it. If you cannot find material about him, write
him a letter or look online for a blog or a website. You will probably learn
that your role model struggled just like you are struggling, and that he had
role models that he emulated as well. Remember that if he can get there, so can
you.
Are You A Positive Or A Negative?
This is an important question that every bodybuilder must ask himself. Some are
motivated because they have an image that wish to achieve. They want to be
muscular or they want to be toned. Others are motivated by negative images. They
do not want to be fat; they do not way to be soft or sloppy. Neither of these is
wrong, and figuring out which one you are will help you use the tools you have
to remain motivated to work toward your body building goals.
