 Good morning guys right after Ozzie here. So here's the thing every once in a while I get a comment from someone who is earnestly trying to start in the gym and they just don't know how or where to start or especially How to find the motivation it can be very difficult in the beginning to find the motivation and the willpower to get out of It in the morning and go to the gym or if it's not in the morning in the afternoon evening whenever you go But that first step getting your gym clothes on getting in the car going to the gym that first step Can be the thing that holds you back from even starting your fitness journey A lot of people are intimidated because there's so many different machines and so many like different free weights and benches and Exercises and different muscle groups that you can work out. It's like where do you start it's daunting. It's overwhelming I get it. So the idea of dragging yourself to even go It's easy to talk yourself out of going to the gym too, especially when you're feeling tired And you're not necessarily feeling it in your body That was something that I really had to get over in the beginning And I thought you know like what can I do to trick myself into going to the gym? How do I do that? Well, I at some point I decided I want to try pre-workout because a lot of people recommended it You know I saw on YouTube videos people take pre-workout before they go to the gym to Get energy and to get that boost of blood circulation and it helps with the workout And you can lift more and live for longer and all that so I tried it out And I noticed that you know once the pre-workout kicked in I felt great Motivated I was excited. I could feel like just the energy pumping through my body And I realized when I feel like that I like I want to go to the gym I'm like excited. I'm amped to get to the gym and start lifting weights pumping iron I thought if I can just get myself in that headspace in my mind Feeling that way when I have to go to the gym. It's no problem. It'll be easy because I'm itching to go So at the time when I was starting to go to the gym I would go in the morning after I woke up and Mornings are hard for me. It's hard for me to get out of bed. That's something I still rustle with today But I've gotten a lot better at it. However, I thought okay if when I take this pre-workout I feel like amazing like I'm like the Hulk And in the morning my issue is that I don't feel like it I feel tired and groggy and I'm not motivated and I just it's so easy for me to talk myself out of going to the gym So I thought why don't we combine the two and use pre-workout as my motivation To get out of bed and go to the gym for a while I was like, okay, I'll just get out of bed and and take some pre-workout and go to the gym They'll be great tried that problem was I'd be lying here in bed and I'd be like I'm so comfortable I don't want to get out of bed. I just want to lay here for like 10 more minutes 30 more minutes Until I'm like, okay. Well, it's too late now Now the time has gone by. I'll just try again later or go tomorrow or whatever didn't work So then I thought okay Well, if I can't get myself up out of bed to go get pre-workout and to go get myself in the groove to go to the gym How can I make this as easy and quick and simple as possible so that I can just wake up have that energy and go and that's when I Decided to literally have the pre-workout ready on my nightstand next to my bed So I would have a glass of water just chill on there ready to go then I would have my pre-workout right now I take pre-gym. That's my go-to pre-workout. So I would literally I'd get a scoop of Pre-workout just like that ready to go now. Let's set it down on my nightstand And then I have a cup or shaker or whatever filled with water ready to go And I'd sit up my nightstand next to the pre-workout and so when I woke up I told myself the only thing you have to worry about and do right now is put the little thing a little scope Into the cup of water and then all you have to do is drink it. That's it Don't worry about going to the gym. Don't worry about getting out of bed. Don't worry about anything else besides Pre-workout water drink. That's it and I can do that while I'm lying in bed and feeling comfortable and cozy And I don't have to get up easy. That is what really made the difference for me because I could lie But I was in bed. I didn't have to get up out of bed. I didn't have to be in comfortable All I had to do was mix a little drink. It tastes good. I would drink it and then within 10 minutes my juices were flowing. I had caffeine going I was starting to feel like Blood pump and like stuff was happening and like I was waking up and by that time I was itching to go to the gym I was like excited to go so I would jump out of bed get ready go to the gym Boom done did it so that was like that was my hack that I figured out Setting the pre-workout in the water next to my bed ready to go first thing in the morning So that when I woke up all I had to do is mix it drink it and then the pre-workout would do the work I didn't have to worry about talking myself into it finding the motivation Forcing myself out of bed because as soon as the pre-workout kicked it was like, okay I'm ready to go like let's go. I need to I need to go bench-press something. I need to go lift something heavy That is my little tidbit of advice That is what really made the difference in the beginning for me and you know pre-workout isn't right for everybody Not everybody wants to have a supplement like pre-workout. Some people are like, oh, you know I don't want to mess with pre-workout. I would just rather drink coffee You could have the same idea for that you could have if not hot coffee because you might have to get out of bed and go to a coffee pot to Actually get your coffee and that might be something that just doesn't work Maybe you could have like a cold brew pre-packaged ready to go sitting next to your bed Something anything that will is gonna give you energy and and like really wake you up and fast and just have that ready to go Next to you on the side of your bed. Of course, this isn't the only way to get motivation to go to the gym But for me it really really worked because on a chemical level. It just got me ready to go I'm an over thinker. I'm able to think my way out of things if there's any kind of like fear involved or if I'm just Don't want to it's easy for me to like manipulate myself through thoughts to get myself out of doing things that I Need to do or that I really want to do in the long term So this is something that's very visceral and it's in my body It's chemical and it's just like okay. Go just do it. I hope this is helpful for you If this is something you've never tried I definitely recommend trying it if you're really just starting out and you just can't Seem to get yourself out of bed and can't get yourself to have the motivation to go get to the gym This might be a great way to start that process and and get your body and your mind used to getting out of bed and Going to the gym first thing in the morning, of course now I'm at the point where if I don't go to the gym I I feel like I'm missing something or my day feels off, right? So now it's like it's a part of my process and a part of my day This is not something that I need to do and I haven't need to do it for a long time because now I actually just create going to the gym and I love hopping out of bed and the idea of going to the gym feels really good I hope this is helpful Let me know in the comments below if you are having trouble with gym motivation Or if you found another solution or another way that you're able to get yourself to go to the gym on a regular basis Let me know I'd love to hear it leave a comment down below Like this video if you like it subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you guys soon
