6 motivation secrets from Ai Lee Syarief

We always feel better after a workout, but it’s easy to forget it! Here are Ai Lee Syarief’s top tips for sticking to your new year goals.

1. Commit

Motivation doesn’t come knocking on your door, so once you’ve set your goal, put your workouts in your schedule like an appointment.

2. Join forces

Ask a friend to be your accountability partner or create a WhatsApp group so, when it’s time to work out, you can say, ‘I know it’s been a tough day but let’s do this!’.

3. Make a fitness jar

After you’ve exercised, write down how you feel on a piece of paper, fold it up and pop it in a jar. If you’re tempted to skip a workout, reach into the jar and read a note. It will push you to do that workout!

4. Find an activity that you love

Then, even when you’ve have a bad day, you’ll want to exercise.

5. Have a plan B

It could be your favourite 20-minute YouTube workout. That way, if you can’t make your usual workout, you can do your Plan B.

6. Take baby steps

Achieving a goal takes time but, these days, everyone wants immediate results, and when they don’t get a six-pack in a week, they get demotivated. Set realistic goals where you’ll see results – and be patient!
