How to Stick with your Exercise and Diet Plan

E-mail Print

Staying motivated to workout and eat healthy is a tough task for many. Fortunately, there are effective ways to keep yourself motivated.  Posting your results on forums, hiring a personal trainer, or joining a support group can aide your progress.  The key to success is understanding that you are ultimately responsible for your results. 

Posting your results on a forum is free and can be effective.  Find an active weight loss or fitness forum and post your daily activities.  It is best if you post what you consumed and your exercise routine.  When you allow others to see what you are doing, it may motivate you to work harder.

Hiring a personal trainer to motivate you is an excellent way to reach your goals. A good trainer will allow you to have accountability and push you to your limits without injury. Many people are not great at disciplining themselves in the gym or at the dinner table. A trainer will help guide and encourage you and lead you to positive results.  The key is to listen and take advice from your trainer.

Join a support group on or offline is a great way to stay motivated.  Having access to others who share the same problems is important. Testimonies from individuals that lost weight will give confidence and inspire you to continue.  

Finding ways to stay motivated can be difficult.  Asking and receiving assistance from others is a great way to stay motivated. Regardless of who helps or how great your trainer is, it is ultimately up to you to stay motivated.

Number of sets

I’ve been doing a routine and wonder how many sets you should do I always believe in 3 or 4 sets.  In some cases 5 sets can be good if you lower the reps.  Switching your number of sets sometimes can help shock your muscles to grow or get stronger.  For endurance I would go with 4 sets and higher reps.  For just mass 4 set maybe 5 for lower reps.  Occassionally you can do some different like 2 sets of 30.
