Imagine it
If you see yourself sprawled on the sofa, feeling guilty about not being at the gym, your mind will automatically take on board those negative feelings. Better visualize yourself exercising and you will automatically feel good.
Get that passion

Take out 15 minutes of time daily
Start really, really small. Make a deal with yourself to devote 15 minutes for your fitness regime and you will definitely end up completing 45 minutes of workout .Trust me you will keep on adding time once you started doing it.
Distract yourself
Stop chatting all the time, turn off the Television. Get yourself in shape, dedicate one hour and get those curves and the dream look you always imagined. Come back when you’ve done your workout.
Call your best buddy
One of the best ways to ensure you stick to your workout is to buddy up because you will motivate each other. Buddying up really shines and works if you have a low motivation day or if you don’t want to hit the gym alone.
Get an energetic playlist
Update your playlist, chose the songs that gives your adrenaline rush. Right choices of songs will really help you give an energy boost in your workout regime, trust me on that!
Read about it

Make it fun
If you don’t have fun while you are working out, it’s going to be pretty hard to turn it into a habit. Sometimes home workouts are awesome, get your favorite playlist , go with the beats and don’t stop. Make 30 minute deal of burning fats while at home. Give your workout a sexy name, get creative. It’s up to you to find the fun element in your workout, no one else can do it for you.
Challenge yourself
One of the powerful ways to get motivated is to challenge yourself. So aim to improve time, number of reps and weights. You can also set challenges like working out every day for a week, or eating clean for a week.
Admire great bodies
Seeing people who have worked to get the kind of physique you want for yourself is very motivating. Admire people with great bodies follow them, check updates and get that motivation you always need.
Keep a track of your transformation
Keeping a track on your progress will help you to stay committed with your fitness regime. This is a great way of telling yourself that yes you can do it. Their is nothing more motivating than actually witnessing your progress, so take selfies and pictures and don’t be shy to share your transformation with others.
