Staying Motivated
It’s normal for motivation to ebb and flow. What matters most is having a system to stay on track—and knowing when to shake things up.
Here are a few tips to help:
- Write it down. Keep your goals visible.
- Celebrate progress. Small wins keep momentum alive.
- Try something new. A new class or routine can re-energize your efforts.
- Check in regularly. Revisit your goals and see how you’re doing.
- Ask for help. Whether it’s a workout buddy or a Y staff member, accountability matters.
You’ve got this—and we’re here when you need a push or a pause.
