Well it seems a lot of posting going on for motivation, how to get it what to do with it once you get it etc. I know in my mind my motivation comes from a few things. One of course is to be "Strong, Like Bull!". Another is to be healthy to see my kids all growed up! Another is cause I love it. There is nothing like it. To set a weight lifting goal and to actually reach it. I think the biggest problem with this topic is that a lot of us want results now, me included! What a lot fail to do is set easier to reach goals. I mean you can not get that body you dream about in one month and if you think you can I got some nice products that may intrest you LOL (that was to all the infomercial geeks like my self). Point being is set a goal that you can reach. Then after reaching it set a harder one. My goal this time around was to actually do cardio. I set the goal to hit 20 minutes 3x a week. Now it is like second nature to do it. Motivation comes from within for the most part. I hang pics of Arnold posing with his biceps poses since that is what I want to have huge freaking arms! That is another tool to use. Finally you need to realize that you are undertaking a life long activity here not just a 3 month phase.....go in with that attitude and you will get to where you want to!:dumbbell:
