I believe with all exercising it is sometimes easy to lose track of our goals. This leads to a lack of interest and a lack of
motivation. Some men don't have a problem with this, and that is because they have certain things to keep them going.
I have a friend that is at the gym at least 20 hours a week. This guy is highly motivated. I've done a few 3 hour work outs with him and I know how he stays on track.
First, he never forgets why he started lifting weights. He was fat. Since then, he is aiming at being a body builder, so this helps him stay even more focused. I do the same thing when I PE. I never forget why I started. I wanted to be bigger. I imagine and visualize my goal. The best way to do this is get an inanimate object that is clsoe to the size you want to be, such as a toilet paper role. Place this object in a position where you can see it all the time (e.g. on your computer desk). This will remind you of what you want.
On top of this, tell yourself that you are going to get what you want. You are going to make your gains. This is a type of reinforced thinking.
Another thing to do is always make sure you fit PE into your schedule. If you don't, then your liable to skip a day. And the more days you skip, the less gains you will make. Which will then turn into less motivation because you aren't gaining. The best advice I can give is to make sure you PE 4-5 days a week. If you start doing less than that, you might head towards a downward spiral.
Mean, I have a question. Do you find the motivation slipping before a workout (i.e. you don't even want to start) or towards the end of a workout (i.e. you don't want to finish the last set)?
