What can I do?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Answer: Ultimately, you want to go to the gym consistently so that you get good results. As such, it isn&#8217;t motivation that you need, its the ability to be consistent.\u00a0I went to the gym last night, not because I was motivated to do so, but because I go every Thursday, and it is part of my routine.<\/p>\n<p>I go to the gym on Mondays and Tuesdays, play football on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and go to the gym again on Thursdays.\u00a0\u00a0My routine has changed recently (I used to play football once per week and gym four times), but the days that I exercise have been the same for the whole of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>And let me tell you this, my motivation vanished within a week of starting. Motivation is like that. Most people are motivated to start, but after a few weeks their motivation drops.\u00a0You can try to keep your motivation going, but in my opinion a better way to keep turning up is to turn it into a habit.<\/p>\n\r\n    <!-- VITALITY CTA-->\r\n    <style media=\"screen\">\r\n    .reviews--advert--v2 {\r\n      margin-top: 1.5rem;\r\n      margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\r\n    }\r\n    .reviews--advert--v2 .vitality-bottle {\r\n      max-width: 100%;\r\n      width: 100%;\r\n    }\r\n    @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n      .reviews--advert--v2 .vitality-bottle {\r\n        max-width: unset;\r\n        width: 150%;\r\n      }\r\n    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"reviews--advert--v2\">\r\n      <div class=\"columns is-centered is-vcentered\">\r\n        <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-3-tablet\">\r\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/static\/frontend\/Roarambition\/Primemale\/en_US\/images\/homepage\/prime-male-with-shadow.png\" alt=\"Prime Male Vitality Product Bottle\" class=\"product vitality-bottle\" style=\"\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-8-tablet\">\r\n          <h3 class=\"has-text-weight-bold is-size-small zmb\">Prime Male<\/h3>\r\n\t\t      <p class=\"grey-text is-relative is-marginless is-size-xxsmall\">Clinically Proven Ingredients to Promote Muscle Mass, Enhance Energy and Libido, and Maximises Overall Performance for Men Over 40.<\/p>\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/order#PM03F1\" class=\"btn btn--redgradient is-uppercase zmb\">Order Now<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  \n<p>And the way to do that is to remove as many barriers as possible.

Either go before work, go late in the evening, go during your lunch break, or go on weekends instead.<\/p>\n<p>Think of all the possible reasons why you won&#8217;t go to the gym over the next 3 months, and plan out contingencies for exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>Make it so easy to go to the gym that you can&#8217;t think of an excuse not to. Then stay disciplined for the first few weeks and go every time. After that going to the gym becomes a habit, and you won&#8217;t need any motivation whatsoever.<\/p>\n\r\n    <!-- VITALITY CTA-->\r\n    <style media=\"screen\">\r\n    .reviews--advert--v2 {\r\n      margin-top: 1.5rem;\r\n      margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\r\n    }\r\n    .reviews--advert--v2 .vitality-bottle {\r\n      max-width: 100%;\r\n      width: 100%;\r\n    }\r\n    @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n      .reviews--advert--v2 .vitality-bottle {\r\n        max-width: unset;\r\n        width: 150%;\r\n      }\r\n    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"columns is-centered\">\r\n      <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-3-tablet\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/static\/frontend\/Roarambition\/Primemale\/en_US\/images\/homepage\/prime-male-with-shadow.png\" alt=\"Prime Male Vitality Product Bottle\" class=\"product vitality-bottle\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-9-tablet\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"columns is-centered is-multiline\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"column is-12-mobile is-12-tablet is-12-desktop\">\r\n            <p class=\"text-center caps zmb\">\r\n              <span class=\"is-size-xxl has-text-weight-bold red\">Tested and Trusted<\/span><br>\r\n\t          \t<span class=\"is-size-xl has-text-weight-bold\">By Over 1 Million Men<\/span>\r\n        \t\t<\/p>\r\n      \t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"column is-6-mobile is-6-tablet is-6-desktop\">\r\n            <p class=\"text-center caps zmb\">\r\n              <span class=\"is-size-xl has-text-weight-bold red\">Free From<\/span><br>\r\n          \t\t<span class=\"is-size-l has-text-weight-bold\">Heavy Metals<\/span>\r\n        \t\t<\/p>\r\n      \t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"column is-6-mobile is-6-tablet is-6-desktop\">\r\n            <p class=\"text-center caps zmb zmt\">\r\n              <span class=\"is-size-xl has-text-weight-bold red\">Ingredients<\/span><br>\r\n              <span class=\"is-size-l has-text-weight-bold\">3rd Party Tested<\/span>\r\n            <\/p>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/order#PM03F1\" class=\"btn btn--redgradient is-uppercase zmb\">Order Now<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our last article, we talked about obesity and whether it is caused by poor impulse control.
