Watch Helped Me Get Up and Exercise… Almost Done with 3 Minutes Left!

I didn’t feel like doing anything this morning, not even lifting anything. Then I got a notification and thought ‘maybe I should just go easy and do a light workout at least.’ Looking back, I totally tricked myself, starting with the ‘light’ workout and somehow ended up doing the full session with heavy lifting :muscle:

How do you trick yourself to work out when you’re not feeling it?

I find that just putting on my shoes and heading to the gym always leads to ‘I might as well just do it now…’ That, and my training load was showing a negative 78% today. Ouch.

Is there a bakery close to your gym? Maybe that’ll help motivate you to get there! :smile:

@Vesper
Training load definitely makes a difference.

Which app are you using?

How do you find the app? Does it kill your phone’s battery?

I trained for almost an hour this morning, and it’s now 3 PM where I am. My battery is at 48%. I’ll check tomorrow after my workout and update you on battery drain. :slight_smile:

I can’t seem to find the app anywhere.

Wow, you’re doing 35KG on the overhead press! I’m stuck at 30KG for sets of 2-3, about 10 reps each, but I think it’ll take me a while to get to 35KG.

Thanks! Honestly, I’m lucky with naturally strong triceps :muscle:

That app looks amazing! I’m going to try it as soon as I find the motivation to work out again, which is probably hidden in some dark corner of my house.

I always feel so much better after a workout, even if I’m sore. It clears my mind, and that feeling is what gets me back to the gym again. :slight_smile:

@Vesper
I guess I’m not doing it right then. My biggest problem is not having a solid routine. I have a whole gym at home but always end up asking myself ‘should I do rows or lat pull downs? Or should I go with bicep curls or leg extensions?’ It’s tough to stick to one plan. I guess listing all the exercises could help, though.

@Finch
Choosing the right routine can be tricky. I let the app decide for me, and then I just follow along with what it shows. Makes it easy! :muscle:

Looks like a cool app.

I think so too :smile:

Does the crown press against your hand? Maybe try changing its position?

It does a little, but it’s not uncomfortable for me. It actually helps me scroll easier, so it’s fine.
