Bodyweight Exercises: Motivation Is NOT Necessary
What do you do on those days when you just aren't "motivated" to work out? When your energy level is zero, your mind is a million miles away, and your get up and go is gone gone gone?
If you are relying on motivation to get you into your workouts, it's no wonder you are failing. Motivation is an emotional push to get something done. But emotions are fleeting. That "thrill" you got the first few times you did a new workout will drop off very quickly. That "emotional high" you get at the start of the workout just can't keep repeating. So if you are relying on THAT to get you to your workouts - you are banking on an account that soon will be empty.
So what DO you use to get going? I will let Rhadi Ferguson, US Olympian in Judo, answer that:

Once you understand what your goals are, you can become mission focused. You can get a vision for what you want to be and what you want to do. "
So there you have it:
Something else that's necessary is getting rid of your nasty procrastination habit. So DON'T WAIT!
