    Exclamation I need motivation

    Hey guys so my problem is that I love working out but in between my house and the gym is a dreaded 20 minute walk up hill just throws me off going to the gym and takes away my motivation so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to overcome this hurdle, stay motivated and get back into working out

    Sounds like what you really need is motorvation.

    haha yeah definitely, I'm in the process of getting my license but it's just difficult because money is tight, so I'm a bit lost with what I should do

    If a 20 minute walk is enough to keep you from the gym than you aren't really motivated to begin with.

    That 20-min walk seems like the perfect warmup. I would make good use of it.
    “Fight one more round. When your feet are so tired that you have to shuffle back to the centre of the ring, fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round – remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.”

    You only feel less motivated after the walk because you're alone, get someone, a friend or colleague, you'll end up sprinting to the gym instead of walking.
