. Here are nine ways to do it.
We will introduce each of them in detail.
■[Method 1] Clarify the goal setting By setting a goal with a clear
numerical value and deadline, you may feel that you have to do muscle training.
For example, “Go to the gym twice a week and within three months you will be able to run 5km in 30 minutes.”
However, there are those who say, “That won’t last.”
In that case, try to tell the people around you about the goals you set. There are times when the compulsion of “must do” is stronger.
■[Method 2] Do muscle training in cool training clothes
.
Some people say, “I’ve grown attached to it while using it,” others say, “I’m not embarrassed by this wear,” and others say, “I’ve spent so much money on it.”
Go to a sporting goods store and look around and try wearing something that you think is cool.
■[Method 3] Watch muscle training videos on YouTube
Muscle training videos on YouTube may increase your motivation.
I started muscle training because I was originally interested in it, so as I watch it, I may come up with things like “Oh, I should try this” and “This looks interesting!”.
There are many muscle training YouTubers now, and the competition is fierce, so there are plenty of videos worth watching.
There are of course useful videos that explain correct form and proper diet advice, as well as videos that say things like “Let’s do our best together!”
When I see them trying to be useful and try to make things as interesting as possible, I get motivated.
The COSPA Exercise Channel is also available on COSPA, so please take a look.
■[Method 4] Find and praise small changes in yourself
When you give yourself a positive voice, you can increase your motivation.
Look in the mirror every day, touch the parts you’ve worked out, and if there’s even a slight change, say to yourself, “You did your best” or “You’ve changed.”
One way to do this is to take before and after photos once a week, compare them, and praise them for any changes.
It is said that it takes more than a month before you can see the results of muscle training.
Until then, just praise yourself for working hard.
You know best what you’ve done.
I won’t betray muscle training, so please try to actively find changes and praise them.
■[Method 5] Connect with muscle training friends and share information
Even if you can’t continue on your own, you may be able to continue with the stimulation of friends who have the same goal.
This is because people are greatly influenced by their environment.
Make some connections and be inspired.
Specifically, working with friends, joining muscle training communities on social media, following people with great bodies, and going to the gym.
If you go to the gym, you will be surrounded by motivated people, so you will naturally feel motivated.
■ [Method 6] Seeing an image of your ideal body Look at a
photo of a well-trained body, a photo with cracked abdominal muscles, a photo with a tight constriction, a photo with a sharp buttocks, etc. And, naturally, the feeling of “I want to be like this” and “I like it” may come up.
What made you decide to start working out?
It can be a photo that reminds you of your original intention, or it can be a photo of your ideal image of the future.
Just looking at muscle training websites, magazines, and flyers from sports gyms can be motivating.
If you have a favorite photo, please make it the standby screen of your smartphone.
■[Method 7] Try it
for the time being By moving your body without thinking about anything, you may find yourself concentrating on muscle training before you know it.
Because people have that habit.
For example, you can stand on one leg for 10 seconds, watch a radio exercise video on YouTube, and do the third exercise.
Even if you expect your motivation to rise, you don’t have to do it, so think of an exercise that has the lowest hurdles and try to do it.
■[Method 8] Listening to music suitable for muscle training
Listening to music that matches the physical condition and feelings of the day can make your body move without reason.
If you search on YouTube, you will find uptempo music for training.
There are 70 songs in this “music ranking to listen to during muscle training”, so please listen to it.
If you get into the rhythm, your concentration will increase and your training will be more efficient.

What to do if you still can’t get motivated to do muscle training
Please rest well.
Everyone has days when they feel unmotivated, or even when they feel like it, their bodies just can’t keep up.
Maybe your body is giving you a signal telling you to rest.
In such a case, please try to get away from muscle training for a while, such as sleeping more time, drowsy at a cafe, eating delicious food, spending time doing what you like, taking vitamins and going to bed.
Try to think about muscle training after resting gives your mind and body room.
