When you start a new workout program, there are usually two types of motivation that drive you to continue. There is the initial burst of enthusiasm after hearing about it from a friend, reading about it online or watching an infomercial on TV. Usually, this lasts for a few weeks before things begin to taper off.

The second type of motivation can be come when you are in the middle of your workout routine, either after having missed a few days or weeks or being tired from overtraining. This second type of motivation tends to last longer than the first but may not always be enough to get you through all the obstacles that will arise on your journey.

Here are some Tips for staying motivated with dance workout

  1. Set realistic goals. If you are just starting to workout, it’s not reasonable for you to set a goal of losing 50 pounds in one month. More realistically, your first step should be to find out how much weight you want to lose and then start documenting your food intake along with the number of repetitions you do or amount of time that you spend exercising on a weekly basis. Once you have been recording your progress for a few months, then you can reevaluate and set a longer-term goal that marries up with the goals that you have already achieved.
  2. Set goals that are measurable. In the previous tip, we talked about setting goals that are realistic. In addition to being realistic, you should also make sure your goals are measurable. You might set a goal of losing 50 pounds but what good does it do if there is no way for you to determine when you have reached 12.5 pounds? Instead, focus on weight loss in pounds per week, so you have a better idea of when you are on track.
  1. Break it down into small, medium and long-term goals. You are trying to lose weight, especially if the numbers on your scale are creeping back up, it can be disheartening. To keep yourself motivated, break your overall goal down into smaller chunks so you have something achievable to work towards each week or month. If your goal is to lose 50 pounds then set a short-term goal of losing five pounds and a medium-term goal of losing 10 pounds. This way you always have something to work towards and the end result will be that you will reach your long term goal.
  1. Provide yourself with achievable incentives for achieving your goals. You can also create a rewards program that reinforces the habits of healthy living over time. It’s not necessary to give up all the things you enjoy, but if you are craving some chips, maybe it would be better to eat fruit instead so you have something to look forward to later on.
  1. Remember that health and fitness are a long-term investment. Even though you might lose some weight, don’t let that be the only thing you focus on. You should always be aware of your health by watching what you eat and not overtraining so you can improve your overall strength and cardiovascular fitness level.
  1. Remind yourself of the benefits you will reap from achieving your goals.
  2. Become accountable for a healthier lifestyle by joining a support group or looking for a workout partner or mentor. If you have somebody who is going through the same struggles as you are, it will be easier for you to bond and help each other along the way.
  1. Get a workout partner. “Having a workout partner holds you responsible for showing up and working out, and that’s important to your success,”
  1. Be diligent with your exercise routine.
  2. Have fun while working out!

Remember that not every movement has to be considered “exercise”. Look at what you are already doing in your life and see how you can work in some activity that will get your heart pumping.
