When you are doing cardio like a stationary bike or just working out in general, how do you keep motivated?
I get bored very quickly. After about 8-10 min on the bike I pretty much stop. Not cause im tired, but im like "eh". And I dont know what to do. I put on a movie or watch some mpg files on my comp. Or listen to music. But after a few min, my mind gives up. I dont know if I have mild attention deficit disorder or what. But I cant stay focused. Its frustrating because I am trying to lose more weight. I lost about 80 pounds over 8ish months and ive plateaued for the last month. I did it mostly through walking, better eating, and more water daily. As well as adding a multi vitamin. (I dont do the weight loss pill thing. If I wanted a crutch, I would break my leg) So I thought I would take my cardio to the next level by biking. Im at 205 with about 20ish more pounds to lose. So its doubley frustrating when im so close to my goal. And its not that im not motivated. I want to be healthier. Im happy with the energy gains. The congrats on what ive lost. Plus theres a certain Canadian girl im trying to look better for.
What do you all do when this happens? How do you overcome the workout blahs?
