How To Motivate Yourself To Get Back Into The Gym

Just returned from a week in the sun and lacking that motivation to get back on the treadmill? You're not alone. We turned to Reebok's Girl Squad to find out what motivates them to get back into their routines after some time off - whether that's because they've been on holiday or have simply fallen off the fitness wagon for a few weeks.

“I don’t think of the gym as punishment. Instead, the gym is a hobby for me and a social experience. If you are one of those people who hates working out, I would recommend that you try to change your mindset and make training a hobby or a social activity, something that you really enjoy.

“However, I travel a lot, and so sometimes I have weeks at a time where I haven’t properly trained. I can totally relate to the feeling of not feeling like training after some time off. The first session back is the worst – but you usually gain back your fitness relatively quickly. I know that once I get to the gym, I am going to feel better afterwards. The longer you leave it, the worse you will feel.”
