Motivation: How to start playing sports and not quit in a week

Many people face a problem when they start exercising enthusiastically but lose motivation after a week. So how do you avoid this and make physical activity an integral part of your life?


1. Set realistic goals
One of the most common mistakes is setting too ambitious goals. For example, if you’ve never exercised, don’t expect to start running marathons or lifting huge weights right away. Gradually increase the load and enjoy even small achievements.


2. Create a training schedule
Regularity is the key to success. Create a workout schedule that fits your lifestyle and allows you to exercise in a comfortable environment. Let it be morning jogs in the park or evening workouts in the gym.

3. Keep you motivated.
In order not to quit classes, it is important to find sources of motivation. It can be friends who work with you, or sports bloggers who inspire their stories. Keep track of your progress to see progress.

4. Don't be afraid to rest.
Exercise is a burden on the body, and it should have time to recover. Regular days of rest will help you avoid overload and give you the opportunity to enjoy training.

5. Enjoy the process.
Find a sport that you like. It can be dancing, swimming, yoga or running. The main thing is that physical activity brings pleasure, and then it will be easier for you to continue exercising.

Now you have all the necessary knowledge to start playing sports and not quit in a week. The main thing is to act gradually, enjoy the process and not forget about your goals.
