Nighttime Work Out Motivation
I really need to snap out of it! I cancelled my gym membership since I wasn't going (I don't like taking time away from DS at night and I have no motivation to leave the house after he goes to bed). I have the 30 Day Shred but I can only motivate myself a couple times a week to do it, which is pathetic, since its only 20 freaking minutes!
I just feel so "blahhhhhhhh" and I always have some excuse for feeling down.
Can someone tell me to get off my lazy butt and workout? Any motivation tips?
Re: Nighttime Work Out Motivation
I so know what you mean about having no motivation. I don't even have kids but find it hard to get off my butt. What about a yoga or pilates video? I know I'm using core muscles for those exercises but because the movement is slow, it's doesn't feel like a "workout" per se but more of a relaxing stretch-thing to do before bed.
Is night time the only time you have to work out? Then I guess taking a walk might not be an option...

Do you work during the day? If so, is there a gym close to your office? I work out during lunch and it's become part of my daily routine. I found that helpful because most of the time I just want to go straight home after work. I think I'll stick to this routine when we eventually have a kid. I am sure I wouldnt want to go anywhere else but home and see my baby when we have a LO.
I also see my PT after work 2-3x a week. I personally think it helps when you set a schedule and you know that Mon/Wed/Thurs (or whatever schedules you want) are your gym days. When my friends invite me for dinner after work, I will try my best to not let it interrupt with my workout schedule and reschedule dinner at some other day. Sometimes I tell my friends i will be late for dinner and just come after my workout. During the times that I can't go to the gym (mostly on weekends) i TRY to work out at home but honestly, it's hard to get motivation! I just wanna lay in bed all day lol. I try to do it early morning though even before DH gets up. I do change to my work out clothes even if im just working out at home. I do Jillian's 45 min video (forgot what it's called but it's about increasing your metabolism or something).
GL!!
