How to Push Yourself at the Gym

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Be positive about exercising, regardless of whether you like to work out. Find reasons that you enjoy your workout and don’t dwell on the fatigue and discomfort that comes with working hard. Savor your successes and be proud of yourself when you have completed a new skill, lifted more weight or had a harder workout.

Check with your health care provider before beginning an exercise program for the first time or if you have been away from fitness programs for a while, or if you have any chronic health issues.

A personal trainer can help you work harder at the gym by planning your workouts for you and keeping you on task.
Try group fitness classes such as indoor cycling. You might benefit from the structure and be motivated by the large group environment.
