In terms of exercise motivation, creating a pre-workout routine can be a powerful force in
assisting you to achieve your goals.
On this page you can find information on how a pre-workout routine can empower you and
acquire the knowledge to develop your very own.
The Challenge
For many, exercising can be a grind. Trying to psych themselves
up for another workout becomes more difficult each day. And finally, they
give up, blaming themselves for being too week. Can you relate ?
A better way
How do you put on your make-up, day, after day, after day? At this point in your life you
probably don't even think about it, you just do it.
Developing an exercise lifestyle, where working out throughout the week feels "normal", and
not working out seems strange, will make exercising like putting on your make-up each
day - normal, natural, and an unconscious habit.
A pre-workout routine (or habit) can support you by making your workout a natural part of your
life. It does this by "revving up" your mind & body to get ready for your workouts.

Building Your Pre-workout Routine
Tip 1. Train at the same time each day. By creating this habit your body and mind automatically will get “energized” for your workouts.
Tip 2. Get moving. Brew a cup of coffee or take an energy supplement and then start a light
cardio warm-up (3-5 minutes). Just getting your heart pumping, muscles loose, and blood
flowing, will help you feel better and get ready for your normal workout.
Tip 3. Take your "motivation" supplement. Listening to a motivational speaker will give your mind,
emotions, and spirit, an uplift, preparing you to have an enjoyable and productive workout.
Tip 4. Choose to be successful. To create a workout habit, be committed to always doing
something in your workouts - no matter how you “feel”. That said, even those who "love" exercising have days where they
don't "feel" like it. Solution?
For a special strategy for working through those days when you don't
"feel" like
working out,

Example of a pre-workout routine:
3:00pm
start the coffee brewing
put in a Zig Ziglar or Joel Osteen CD
jump on the exercise bike for a light warm-up
do 10 minutes of stretching
enjoy a cup of coffee
3:15pm
start normal workout
Using the above principles you can build a personal pre-workout routine that will make your
exercise motivation unstoppable. Feel free to experiment to find what excites you and makes your exercise sessions fun and effective.
