The motivation to get on the running track, go to the gym, get out of the couch comfort in general, is one of the biggest challenges in dealing with weight gain.
The fight against overweight and skinny muscles is especially difficult after 40 years. One of the most common mistakes is starting with very intense and strenuous exercises and training and high goals that you want to achieve immediately without giving your body a chance to prepare for the shock.
Setting unrealistic and unattainable goals will not help you to lose weight or gain muscle faster, on the contrary, it may give you a counter service and you may not want to exercise.
How, then, can you motivate yourself to practice without reforming?
Start slowly and set short-term, achievable goals. It is best to start with a 30-minute walk each day, which will later "improve" your walking or running.
Then choose a physical activity that you enjoy rather than experiencing it. It will help keep you motivated and looking forward to the new training.
