Starting a fitness journey is a commendable decision, but it's not always an easy one. The path to a healthier lifestyle is paved with challenges, but the rewards are well worth the effort. If you’re struggling to find the motivation to begin, you’re not alone. Here are some strategies to help you ignite that spark and embark on your fitness journey with confidence and determination.


  1. Visualize Your Goals

  • Short-term Goals: Think about how you want to feel after a month of consistent workouts. Maybe it’s fitting into an old pair of jeans or feeling more energetic throughout the day.

  • Long-term Goals: Imagine yourself a year from now. How do you look? How do you feel? Visualizing your future self can be a powerful motivator.

  1. Find Your ‘Why’

  • Dig deep and ask yourself why you want to start this journey. Is it for better health? To feel more confident? To be a role model for your kids? Your ‘why’ will be the anchor that keeps you grounded when the going gets tough.

  1. Start Small

  • You don’t have to run a marathon on day one. Start with small, achievable goals. Maybe it’s a 10-minute walk or doing 5 push-ups. Celebrate these small victories; they'll pave the way for bigger achievements.

  1. Join a Community

  • Whether it’s a local gym, a yoga class or an online fitness group, being part of a community can provide the support and encouragement you need. Sharing your journey with others can be both inspiring and motivating.

  1. Track Your Progress

  • Keep a journal, take photos, or use fitness apps to track your progress. Seeing tangible results can be a massive boost to your motivation.

  1. Reward Yourself

  • Set milestones and reward yourself when you reach them. It could be a new pair of workout shoes, a spa day, or a cheat meal. These rewards can serve as a fun incentive to keep pushing forward.

  1. Stay Educated

  • The more you know about fitness and nutrition, the more empowered you’ll feel. Read books, watch documentaries, follow the Sic’est Podcast and Sic Weekly Blogs to stay up to date with the latest research and tips.

  1. Remember, it’s a Journey, Not a Race

  • Everyone progresses at their own pace. Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s journey. Focus on your own growth and celebrate every step forward.


Finding motivation is a deeply personal experience. What works for one person might not work for another. I find using these tips helps me to get through some tough weeks. I keep a journal and continue to work on my personal goals. I am mindful about daily affirmations and look to my community for support. In a typical workout routine, I reward myself with refeeds after about six weeks and reward myself with higher amounts of carbs for one day. I typically increase my rice portion with one meal. Now that I am training for a competition, I am not increasing my carbs after six weeks, but When the competition is over, I am looking forward to a cheeseburger! This is what works for me, but the key is to find what resonates with you and to remember that every day is a new opportunity to make choices that bring you closer to your goals. Embrace the journey, cherish the process, and always believe in yourself. You’ve got this!
