The other day I read a great email from another fitness professional about their strategy for getting yourself moving when you are lacking motivation.

The suggestion that they made, which I think is a brilliant idea, is to commit to a

4 MINUTE WARM UP.

Basically do what you were planning to do for just 4 minutes.

Walk for four minutes.

Head to the gym for 4 minutes.

Get out on your bike for 4 minutes.

If after the 4 minutes you can get up and walk away thats fine. However the chances are, after 4 minutes, you might not actually feel like stopping. You might even want to carry on because you're kind of getting into it.

Commit to the 4 minute warm up, no matter how 'can't be bothered' you feel.
