My # 1 tip when you aren’t motivated to workout!

When motivation is low, commit to just five minutes of movement and let yourself stop if you want. Starting small often builds momentum, and respecting your body's signals keeps you consistent long-term.
What do you do when you're really not feeling like working out? Here's my number one tip. Just get five minutes. Tell yourself you just have to get five minutes of movement in. And don't just tell yourself that, but actually give yourself permission to only do five minutes.
Maybe that five minutes is just getting the warm up of a workout video. Maybe it's just picking a few of your favorite exercises, exercises that you love or at least don't hate. Maybe that's just doing a few exercises in your kitchen or in your office. Maybe that's getting outside for a walk or just going up and down your stairs. Chances are after five minutes of movement you're going to be energized, you're going to get those endorphins going and you're going to want to keep moving. But if after those five minutes you are still not feeling it, give yourself permission to rest your body.
Allowing yourself to be where you are today and listen to your body can go a long way in creating consistency in your fitness journey.
