Enjoying Your Workout: Why It’s Crucial and How to Do It


A lot of people approach working out as a chore. It’s something they dread doing, but do it because they “have to” in order to get fit.


They’re the people who will go for a jog or go weightlifting if they have nothing else to do. They’re the people who’ll voluntarily read books on the subject, just to further their education.

So how do you develop a love for working out if it doesn’t come to you naturally?

Learn to Enjoy the Burn

The burning sensation that you feel when you’re working out can either be extremely unpleasant or one of the most motivating feelings in the world.

That burning feeling is a sign that you’re achieving the goals you want. It’s a sign that your body is changing. It’s a sign that you’re moving forward. Once you can make that link on both a conscious and unconscious level, every time you feel the burn it’ll feel great rather than bad.


Losing weight might be your long-term goal, but in the workout itself, the burn gives you something to shoot for at the moment: to push through that next set and to go further.

What You Eat Makes a Difference

Trying to do a workout when you’re feeling lethargic isn’t fun. On the other hand, when you’re bursting with energy, working out is just a natural inclination.

The food you eat has a huge impact on your overall energy and physical wellbeing, which in turn has a big impact on how much you enjoy your workouts.

If you aren’t paying attention to your food, it’s time to start. Not only does it affect your workout, but it has a huge impact on your body composition. In fact, your body is shaped more by what you eat than your exercise routine.
