So how does /fit/ get the motivation to go to the gym after a

Spoken exactly like someone who'll never makeit. Faggot.

I think about the girl I could've landed if I had just been more confident. Going to the gym makes me feel confident, and skipping does the opposite. So I go.

my brother made it. he has the exact same attitude as i but he just does it. He had a god-tier body during his college but now that hes working hes just dad-bod

Motivation? Going to the gym is fun and relaxing after a hard day at work, the perfect stress relief

I take a pre-workout supplement and go straight to the gym from work

i lift for men instead of women.

Routine maybe. I hate missing gym days and enjoy my time spent at the gym.

Oh shit. It was op who said that. Figures.

you've decided that lounging is better than being fit. nothing wrong with it, technically. once you change your priorities, the motivation will come.

also just starting, even for 25 mins, getting into the habit, makes it easier. think long term.

Pre-workout helps. Coffee helps.

But what really helps me is being in the habit. When I slip out of the habit, it becomes really easy to not go, and that compounds on itself, and it makes me worse. Conversely, constantly going makes me better.

So, my deal is that I always have to change into my workout clothes. There's a small gym in my office building that's free, so I change there. It doesn't give me any time to rationalize while driving home that I don't need to do it.

Once I'm in my workout clothes, if I'm still being a bitch about working out, I'll say fine but you have to do 10 minutes on the bike or elliptical. That takes absolute bare minimum effort and time. And maybe my after work responsibilities that day are such that I need to leave after that 10 minutes. But I don't let myself just go home without doing at least that. Usually I wind up doing a full workout or something that resembles it.

Eventually you'll look forward to the gym after work. There will be plenty of days that you don't. You can't make skipping an option, though, or you'll wind up rationalizing a month off and then it just gets even harder to get back to it.

I've been there man. I fucked off basically all of September. A vacation turned into a week break which turned into more excuses. It was hell trying to work myself back into the gym after the break. I actually felt embarrassed - like, I didn't want to show my face in the gym after being gone for so long because everyone would know.

Some of the things your mind will do if you let it are pretty dumb. Don't let it.

I go to the gym in the morning. Quiet, empty, gives me a boost and pump for the whole day at uni. I feel awake and ready to go, like a fog has been lifted from my mind.

It helps get rid of that stress you built up during the day. When you exercise, your body let's out a concoction of feel-good chemicals that reduces stress. Getting started is the hard part, but you just have to remind yourself of how good you'll feel afterwards.
