No time?\\nNow you won\\u2019t have any excuses anymore for not doing your run or sweating in the gym. We have got the perfect tips for you how to get off your butt.\\nPromised.\\u00a0You will be packing your sports bag in no time.\\n1. Take your gym bag to work\\nWith your bag packed when you leave the office, the way to the gym is much easier.\\nA simple trick to avoid skipping your gym class: take your workout clothes to the office, if you plan to exercise after work. Avoid going home first, making yourself comfortable on the couch (even for a little while) or having a snack \\u2013 pulling yourself up again will be all the harder. If you don\\u2019t want to leave anything to fate, put on your sweats and sports shoes before you leave work. The shame of going straight home in your full workout gear will not be your\\u2019s!\\n2.\\u00a0Apply the rule of ten-second willpower.\\nApply the rule of ten-second willpower\\nA fact: once you have started working out, you most probably will not stop exercising until you have finished your session for the day. That means that all you have to do is concentrate on the beginning of your workout and put all your focus on it for a few of seconds.\\nUse your willpower to change into your sportswear and get in your car. Once you are on the way to the gym, you will not turn around, and you will stick to your exercise plans.\\n3. Get support from a personal trainer\\nPersonal trainers won\\u2019t do the work-out for you, but they can ensure that you do it right and consistently.\\nPersonal trainers are a good investment, especially for beginners, who are uncertain about whether they are exercising correctly. Besides being great motivators, personal trainers help us draw up realistic training and nutrition plans. When it comes to working out and losing weight, many good resolutions fail, because we expect too much of ourselves in the beginning, exercise incorrectly or do not know which workout is the right one for us. Having guidance can help us get going.\\n4. Look for the right exercise for you\\nThe best answer to the question, \\u201cWhy do you work out?\\u201d is because you enjoy it so much! Sounds good, doesn\\u2019t it? So get out there and do it.\\u00a0\\nWhy did you skip your violin lessons and hate ballet class as a child? Maybe you would have preferred taking up piano lessons or despised the pink tutu. The outcome: your violin and tutu ended up stored away in a box. For many of us, the situation has not really changed with time, the only exception today being that the pressure comes from within ourselves. Why force ourselves to go jogging, if we actually hate it? Only because it feels like everyone else is into running? Nonsense! Maybe you are much more motivated to swim, skate, ride your bike or join an aerobics class. Finding the suitable workout can take some time, but it is worth it. First, you need to figure out if you want to exercise indoors or outdoors, alone or in a group, if you want action or prefer calm. Still no idea? How about a few trial runs at the gym? Most of them have varied programs. Stay curious and be willing to experiment. Once you have found your type of workout, you no longer need a reason to make yourself get out there and do it.\\n5. Think of the good feeling afterwards\\nYou\\u2019ve done it! No matter how hard, sweaty and exhausting your workout was, nothing can replace the feeling afterwards.\\nIf we go jogging despite the rain or drag ourselves out of bed and to Pilates class on Sunday mornings, we feel twice as good afterwards. It\\u2019s not only knowing that we have done something for ourselves and our bodies, but the thought of having conquered our inner couch potato that makes us happy. Remember this feeling next time you suffer from acute lack of motivation. One more thing: torturing ourselves on the cross trainer for an hour beats the discontent with ourselves for having spent our free time in front of the TV.\\n&quot;, \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sports\/motivation-tips-workout\/\" })'  target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n            <a class=\"facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sports\/motivation-tips-workout\/\" target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n            <a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sports\/motivation-tips-workout\/\" target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n            <a class=\"x\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.puma-catchup.com%2Fes%2Fsports%2Fmotivation-tips-workout%2F&#038;text=\" target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n            <a class=\"pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.puma-catchup.com%2Fes%2Fsports%2Fmotivation-tips-workout%2F\" target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><span class=\"textStyle_intro\">\u00bfNo puede molestarse? \u00bfMal tiempo? \u00bfNo tienes tiempo?<\/span>\n<span class=\"textStyle_intro\">Ahora ya no tendr\u00e1s excusas para no correr o sudar en el gimnasio. Tenemos los consejos perfectos para que muevas el culo.<\/span>\n<span class=\"textStyle_intro\">Prometido. Estar\u00e1s preparando tu bolsa de deporte en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.<\/span>\n<br\/><strong>1. Lleva tu bolsa de deporte al trabajo<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Con la bolsa preparada al salir de la oficina, el camino al gimnasio es mucho m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Un truco sencillo para no saltarte la clase de gimnasia: ll\u00e9vate la ropa de entrenamiento a la oficina, si piensas hacer ejercicio despu\u00e9s del trabajo. Evita ir antes a casa, ponerte c\u00f3modo en el sof\u00e1 (aunque sea un ratito) o tomar un tentempi\u00e9: volver a levantarte ser\u00e1 mucho m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil. Si no quieres dejar nada al azar, ponte el ch\u00e1ndal y las zapatillas de deporte antes de salir del trabajo. \u00a1La verg\u00fcenza de ir directamente a casa con toda la ropa de entrenamiento no ser\u00e1 tuya!<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>2. Aplica la regla de los diez segundos de fuerza de voluntad.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Aplica la regla de los diez segundos de fuerza de voluntad<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Un hecho: una vez que ha empezado a hacer ejercicio, lo m\u00e1s probable es que no deje de hacerlo hasta que haya terminado su sesi\u00f3n del d\u00eda. Eso significa que lo \u00fanico que tienes que hacer es concentrarte en el principio del entrenamiento y dedicarle toda tu atenci\u00f3n durante unos segundos.<br\/>\n<br\/>Usa tu fuerza de voluntad para ponerte la ropa de deporte y subirte al coche. Una vez de camino al gimnasio, no te dar\u00e1s la vuelta y cumplir\u00e1s tus planes de ejercicio.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>3. Obtener el apoyo de un entrenador personal<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Los entrenadores personales no har\u00e1n el ejercicio por ti, pero pueden asegurarse de que lo haces bien y de forma constante.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Los entrenadores personales son una buena inversi\u00f3n, sobre todo para los principiantes, que no saben si est\u00e1n haciendo ejercicio correctamente. Adem\u00e1s de ser grandes motivadores, los entrenadores personales nos ayudan a elaborar planes de entrenamiento y nutrici\u00f3n realistas. Cuando se trata de hacer ejercicio y perder peso, muchos buenos prop\u00f3sitos fracasan, porque esperamos demasiado de nosotros mismos al principio, hacemos ejercicio de forma incorrecta o no sabemos qu\u00e9 entrenamiento es el adecuado para nosotros. Contar con orientaci\u00f3n puede ayudarnos a ponernos en marcha.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>4. Busca el ejercicio adecuado para ti<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>La mejor respuesta a la pregunta \u201c\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 haces ejercicio?\u201d es \u00a1porque lo disfrutas mucho! Suena bien, \u00bfverdad? Pues sal ah\u00ed fuera y hazlo.\u00a0<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 te saltabas las clases de viol\u00edn y odiabas las de ballet cuando eras ni\u00f1o? Tal vez hubiera preferido tomar clases de piano o despreciara el tut\u00fa rosa. El resultado: el viol\u00edn y el tut\u00fa acabaron guardados en una caja. Para muchos de nosotros, la situaci\u00f3n no ha cambiado realmente con el tiempo, con la \u00fanica excepci\u00f3n de que hoy en d\u00eda la presi\u00f3n procede de nosotros mismos. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 obligarnos a hacer footing, si en realidad lo odiamos? \u00bfS\u00f3lo porque parece que a todo el mundo le gusta correr? No tiene sentido. Quiz\u00e1 te motive mucho m\u00e1s nadar, patinar, montar en bici o apuntarte a una clase de aer\u00f3bic. Encontrar el entrenamiento adecuado puede llevar alg\u00fan tiempo, pero merece la pena. En primer lugar, tienes que averiguar si quieres hacer ejercicio en interiores o al aire libre, solo o en grupo, si quieres acci\u00f3n o prefieres la calma. \u00bfA\u00fan no tienes ni idea? \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal unas cuantas pruebas en el gimnasio? La mayor\u00eda tienen programas variados. Sea curioso y est\u00e9 dispuesto a experimentar. Una vez que hayas encontrado tu tipo de entrenamiento, ya no necesitar\u00e1s una raz\u00f3n para obligarte a salir y hacerlo.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>5. Piensa en las buenas sensaciones posteriores<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00a1Lo has conseguido! No importa lo duro, sudoroso y agotador que haya sido tu entrenamiento, nada puede reemplazar la sensaci\u00f3n posterior.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Si salimos a correr a pesar de la lluvia o nos arrastramos fuera de la cama para ir a clase de Pilates los domingos por la ma\u00f1ana, nos sentimos el doble de bien despu\u00e9s. No es s\u00f3lo saber que hemos hecho algo por nosotros mismos y por nuestro cuerpo, sino la idea de haber vencido a nuestro teleadicto interior lo que nos hace felices. Recuerda esta sensaci\u00f3n la pr\u00f3xima vez que sufras una falta aguda de motivaci\u00f3n. Una cosa m\u00e1s: torturarnos en la bici el\u00edptica durante una hora supera el descontento con nosotros mismos por haber pasado nuestro tiempo libre frente al televisor.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row image slider -->\n\n<div class=\"row rowSlider1 spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col\">\n        <div class=\"arrowCircleCenter arrowBorder swiperoutside-button-prev swipeprev4e489146-f8cd-4159-b10d-fcf3e9c5d095\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\t<div id=\"swipe_4e489146-f8cd-4159-b10d-fcf3e9c5d095\" class=\"swiper myswiper scrollAnim\" data-ssize=\"1\" data-id=\"4e489146-f8cd-4159-b10d-fcf3e9c5d095\">\n\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"swiper-slide swiper-slide bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.797619047619 ;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/1CouchPotatoe_S.jpg);background-position: 50% 0%;\"><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"swiper-slide swiper-slide bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.797619047619 ;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3CouchPotatoe_S.jpg);background-position: 50% 0%;\"><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"swiper-slide swiper-slide bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.797619047619 ;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14CouchPotatoe_S.jpg);background-position: 50% 0%;\"><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"swiper-slide swiper-slide bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.797619047619 ;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/8CouchPotatoe_S.jpg);background-position: 50% 0%;\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n        <div class=\"col\">\n        <div class=\"arrowCircleCenter arrowBorder swiperoutside-button-next swipenext4e489146-f8cd-4159-b10d-fcf3e9c5d095\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>6. Vence al teleadicto que llevas dentro<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Todos tenemos esa voz en la cabeza que intenta disuadirnos de hacer ejercicio. Si aprendemos a vencer al teleadicto que llevamos dentro, nos resultar\u00e1 mucho m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil mantener una rutina de ejercicios.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Prestar mucha atenci\u00f3n a nuestros pensamientos puede ayudarnos a superar el teleadicto que llevamos dentro. Antes de hacer ejercicio, todos tenemos pensamientos como \u201cOh, t\u00edo, hoy no me apetece nada salir a correr. Prefiero quedarme en casa viendo la tele. Ya ir\u00e9 la semana que viene\u201d. Aprende a ponerte un alto mental y lleva tus pensamientos a un nivel consciente. Cuando surjan estos pensamientos, di \u201calto\u201d en voz alta. As\u00ed interrumpir\u00e1s el hilo de tus pensamientos y podr\u00e1s centrarte en otra cosa.<br\/>\n<br\/>La pr\u00f3xima vez que tu mente quiera enga\u00f1arte para que te quedes en el sof\u00e1 viendo la tele y dejes el entrenamiento para la semana que viene, dile: \u201cEh, STOP. La \u00faltima vez utilic\u00e9 esta excusa y me decepcion\u00e9 mucho conmigo mismo\u201d.\u201d<br\/>\n<br\/>Preg\u00fantate qu\u00e9 quieres realmente y pon tus verdaderos objetivos ante tus ojos. Esto te ayudar\u00e1 a centrarte en lo esencial. Dejar\u00e1s de buscar excusas y reforzar\u00e1s tu fuerza de voluntad tomando una decisi\u00f3n consciente respecto a tus sue\u00f1os. Esta es la posici\u00f3n que necesitas para pasar a la acci\u00f3n.<br\/>\n<br\/>Enfr\u00e9ntate a tus pensamientos de forma deliberada directamente antes de hacer ejercicio. Con el tiempo aprender\u00e1s a ignorar esta seductora voz interior.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>7. No pierda de vista sus objetivos<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>F\u00edjese objetivos concretos y recu\u00e9rdese constantemente sus fechas de ejercicio.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Muchos proyectos de p\u00e9rdida de peso fracasan por falta de objetivos claros. Sea espec\u00edfico en sus planes. En lugar de decir: \u201cQuiero perder peso\u201d, d\u00edgase: \u201cQuiero bajar ocho kilos en dos meses\u201d o \u201cLlevar\u00e9 mi vestido favorito en la boda de mi amiga\u201d. Cuanto m\u00e1s precisos sean tus planes, mejor. Otro gran motivador: busca una foto tuya de tiempos pasados (de adelgazamiento) que te guste mucho, p\u00e9gala en la nevera y consid\u00e9rala un obst\u00e1culo m\u00e1s para llegar a esa tarta de chocolate que hay detr\u00e1s de la puerta. Empapa tu casa de notas que te recuerden que tienes que hacer ejercicio o cuelga una lista de las clases del gimnasio donde puedas verla todos los d\u00edas. Un dato: tropezarte con constantes recordatorios que tienen que ver con el deporte har\u00e1 que te resulte muy dif\u00edcil no hacer ejercicio.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>8. Comparta sus planes<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Comenta tus objetivos de entrenamiento con personas que tengan planes similares o que ya los hayan alcanzado.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00bfTu colega te acaba de contar que se est\u00e1 preparando para una media marat\u00f3n? \u00bfTu amiga est\u00e1 probando un nuevo estudio de yoga? Muy bien, \u00a1escucha lo que tienen que decirte! Hablar con otras personas sobre nuestras experiencias con el ejercicio puede animarnos a probar algo nuevo o a intensificar nuestras actividades deportivas.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>9. Documente sus progresos<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Querido diario... No, en serio: cada noche anota lo que has hecho, conseguido, superado o tenido \u00e9xito ese d\u00eda en t\u00e9rminos de deporte y\/o nutrici\u00f3n, tanto las partes buenas como las no tan buenas.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Anotar c\u00f3mo y durante cu\u00e1nto tiempo hemos hecho ejercicio cada d\u00eda nos ayuda a controlar nuestros progresos durante un largo periodo de tiempo y es una gran fuente de motivaci\u00f3n. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? Al escribir nos damos cuenta de todo lo que hemos conseguido. Eso nos enorgullece y nos impulsa a ser mejores.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>10. Reg\u00e1late la \u00faltima equipaci\u00f3n de PUMA<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Olv\u00eddate de los pantalones anchos y las camisetas deste\u00f1idas. A partir de hoy, haz ejercicio solo con ropa deportiva PUMA que te haga sentir bien por todas partes.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Hacer flexiones de b\u00edceps frente al espejo gigante del gimnasio no es divertido a menos que te veas bien. Para tu pr\u00f3xima sesi\u00f3n de ejercicio, elige un nuevo conjunto PUMA que sea funcional y te siente realmente bien. Ya ver\u00e1s: el gimnasio ser\u00e1 mucho m\u00e1s divertido y estar\u00e1s motivado para ir m\u00e1s a menudo. La raz\u00f3n es sencilla: cuando compramos un jersey bonito o unas zapatillas chulas queremos pon\u00e9rnoslos inmediatamente, \u00bfverdad? La ropa deportiva no es una excepci\u00f3n. \u00bfD\u00f3nde nos la ponemos? En el gimnasio, \u00a1por supuesto!<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row articleMulti1 spacing\">\n\t    <div class=\"col articleTeaser\" >\n\t\t\t<a class=\"hoverzooma  scrollAnim\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sportstyle\/trx-you-are-stronger-than-you-think\/\" \n\t\t\t     tabindex=\"-1\" \n\t\t\t    id=\"844\"\n\t\t\t     style=\"width:100%;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t\t\t    aspect-ratio:1\t\t\t    ;\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Woman yoga exercise\"\n\t\t\t    class=\"hoverZoom\"\n\t\t\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/StrongerthanyouTink-Header_Nov15.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t\t\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/category\/sportstyle\/\" class=\"secondary2\" style=\"margin-top: 17px;\">Sportstyle<\/a>\n\t        <h4>Eres m\u00e1s fuerte de lo que crees<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"description shortExcerpt\">\n\t\t\t\tLos 10 aspectos de la forma f\u00edsica y c\u00f3mo ayuda la fuerza\nResistencia cardiaca\/respiratoria Es la menos afectada por el aumento de la fuerza, pero sigue siendo lo suficientemente exigente para los peque\u00f1os cambios.\nResistencia Si un corredor tiene una zancada m\u00e1s potente, puede llegar m\u00e1s lejos con el mismo esfuerzo o simplemente correr la misma distancia m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido.\nFuerza Esto es bastante obvio.

Eso significa que lo \u00fanico que tienes que hacer es concentrarte en el principio del entrenamiento y dedicarle toda tu atenci\u00f3n durante unos segundos.<br \/>\nUsa tu fuerza de voluntad para ponerte la ropa de deporte y subirte al coche. Una vez de camino al gimnasio, no te dar\u00e1s la vuelta y cumplir\u00e1s tus planes de ejercicio.<br \/>\n3. Obtener el apoyo de un entrenador personal<br \/>\nLos entrenadores personales no har\u00e1n el ejercicio por ti, pero pueden asegurarse de que lo haces bien y de forma constante.<br \/>\nLos entrenadores personales son una buena inversi\u00f3n, sobre todo para los principiantes, que no saben si est\u00e1n haciendo ejercicio correctamente. Adem\u00e1s de ser grandes motivadores, los entrenadores personales nos ayudan a elaborar planes de entrenamiento y nutrici\u00f3n realistas. Cuando se trata de hacer ejercicio y perder peso, muchos buenos prop\u00f3sitos fracasan, porque esperamos demasiado de nosotros mismos al principio, hacemos ejercicio de forma incorrecta o no sabemos qu\u00e9 entrenamiento es el adecuado para nosotros. Contar con orientaci\u00f3n puede ayudarnos a ponernos en marcha.<br \/>\n4. Busca el ejercicio adecuado para ti<br \/>\nLa mejor respuesta a la pregunta \u201c\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 haces ejercicio?\u201d es \u00a1porque lo disfrutas mucho! Suena bien, \u00bfverdad? Pues sal ah\u00ed fuera y hazlo.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 te saltabas las clases de viol\u00edn y odiabas las de ballet cuando eras ni\u00f1o? Tal vez hubiera preferido tomar clases de piano o despreciara el tut\u00fa rosa. El resultado: el viol\u00edn y el tut\u00fa acabaron guardados en una caja. Para muchos de nosotros, la situaci\u00f3n no ha cambiado realmente con el tiempo, con la \u00fanica excepci\u00f3n de que hoy en d\u00eda la presi\u00f3n procede de nosotros mismos. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 obligarnos a hacer footing, si en realidad lo odiamos? \u00bfS\u00f3lo porque parece que a todo el mundo le gusta correr? No tiene sentido. Quiz\u00e1 te motive mucho m\u00e1s nadar, patinar, montar en bici o apuntarte a una clase de aer\u00f3bic. Encontrar el entrenamiento adecuado puede llevar alg\u00fan tiempo, pero merece la pena. En primer lugar, tienes que averiguar si quieres hacer ejercicio en interiores o al aire libre, solo o en grupo, si quieres acci\u00f3n o prefieres la calma. \u00bfA\u00fan no tienes ni idea? \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal unas cuantas pruebas en el gimnasio? La mayor\u00eda tienen programas variados. Sea curioso y est\u00e9 dispuesto a experimentar. Una vez que hayas encontrado tu tipo de entrenamiento, ya no necesitar\u00e1s una raz\u00f3n para obligarte a salir y hacerlo.<br \/>\n5. Piensa en las buenas sensaciones posteriores<br \/>\n\u00a1Lo has conseguido! No importa lo duro, sudoroso y agotador que haya sido tu entrenamiento, nada puede reemplazar la sensaci\u00f3n posterior.<br \/>\nSi salimos a correr a pesar de la lluvia o nos arrastramos fuera de la cama para ir a clase de Pilates los domingos por la ma\u00f1ana, nos sentimos el doble de bien despu\u00e9s. No es s\u00f3lo saber que hemos hecho algo por nosotros mismos y por nuestro cuerpo, sino la idea de haber vencido a nuestro teleadicto interior lo que nos hace felices. Recuerda esta sensaci\u00f3n la pr\u00f3xima vez que sufras una falta aguda de motivaci\u00f3n. Una cosa m\u00e1s: torturarnos en la bici el\u00edptica durante una hora supera el descontento con nosotros mismos por haber pasado nuestro tiempo libre frente al televisor.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_top_article":false,"is_featured_article":true,"EasyPostViewCounter":9441,"meta-headline":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"class_list":["post-2845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"fullData":{"ID":2845,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2014-09-15 16:28:29","post_date_gmt":"2014-09-15 14:28:29","post_content":"<!-- wp:puma\/row-post-header {\"image\":{\"width\":1140,\"height\":640,\"file\":\"2014\/09\/CouchPotatoe_H.jpg\",\"filesize\":51735,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-300x168.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":168,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":8246},\"large\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-1024x575.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":575,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":56810},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":5172},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-768x431.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":431,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":35698},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-18x10.jpg\",\"width\":18,\"height\":10,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":433}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":2851,\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/CouchPotatoe_H.jpg\",\"title\":\"CouchPotatoe_H\",\"aspect_ratio\":1.78125,\"focalPointLeft\":0.5,\"focalPointTop\":0},\"headline\":\"Couch Potato No More\",\"content\":\"Motivation tips for your workout\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u003cspan class=\\u0022textStyle_intro\\u0022\\u003eCan\u2019t be bothered?\u00a0Lousy weather?

Avoid going home first, making yourself comfortable on the couch (even for a little while) or having a snack \u2013 pulling yourself up again will be all the harder. If you don\u2019t want to leave anything to fate, put on your sweats and sports shoes before you leave work.

That means that all you have to do is concentrate on the beginning of your workout and put all your focus on it for a few of seconds.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Use your willpower to change into your sportswear and get in your car. Once you are on the way to the gym, you will not turn around, and you will stick to your exercise plans.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;3. Get support from a personal trainer\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Personal trainers won\u2019t do the work-out for you, but they can ensure that you do it right and consistently.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Personal trainers are a good investment, especially for beginners, who are uncertain about whether they are exercising correctly. Besides being great motivators, personal trainers help us draw up realistic training and nutrition plans. When it comes to working out and losing weight, many good resolutions fail, because we expect too much of ourselves in the beginning, exercise incorrectly or do not know which workout is the right one for us. Having guidance can help us get going.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;4.

Sounds good, doesn\u2019t it? So get out there and do it.\u00a0\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Why did you skip your violin lessons and hate ballet class as a child? Maybe you would have preferred taking up piano lessons or despised the pink tutu. The outcome: your violin and tutu ended up stored away in a box. For many of us, the situation has not really changed with time, the only exception today being that the pressure comes from within ourselves. Why force ourselves to go jogging, if we actually hate it? Only because it feels like everyone else is into running? Nonsense! Maybe you are much more motivated to swim, skate, ride your bike or join an aerobics class. Finding the suitable workout can take some time, but it is worth it. First, you need to figure out if you want to exercise indoors or outdoors, alone or in a group, if you want action or prefer calm. Still no idea? How about a few trial runs at the gym? Most of them have varied programs. Stay curious and be willing to experiment. Once you have found your type of workout, you no longer need a reason to make yourself get out there and do it.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;5.

It\u2019s not only knowing that we have done something for ourselves and our bodies, but the thought of having conquered our inner couch potato that makes us happy. Remember this feeling next time you suffer from acute lack of motivation. One more thing: torturing ourselves on the cross trainer for an hour beats the discontent with ourselves for having spent our free time in front of the

Avoid going home first, making yourself comfortable on the couch (even for a little while) or having a snack \u2013 pulling yourself up again will be all the harder. If you don\u2019t want to leave anything to fate, put on your sweats and sports shoes before you leave work. The shame of going straight home in your full workout gear will not be your\u2019s!\n2.\u00a0Apply the rule of ten-second willpower.\nApply the rule of ten-second willpower\nA fact: once you have started working out, you most probably will not stop exercising until you have finished your session for the day. That means that all you have to do is concentrate on the beginning of your workout and put all your focus on it for a few of seconds.\nUse your willpower to change into your sportswear and get in your car. Once you are on the way to the gym, you will not turn around, and you will stick to your exercise plans.\n3. Get support from a personal trainer\nPersonal trainers won\u2019t do the work-out for you, but they can ensure that you do it right and consistently.\nPersonal trainers are a good investment, especially for beginners, who are uncertain about whether they are exercising correctly. Besides being great motivators, personal trainers help us draw up realistic training and nutrition plans. When it comes to working out and losing weight, many good resolutions fail, because we expect too much of ourselves in the beginning, exercise incorrectly or do not know which workout is the right one for us. Having guidance can help us get going.\n4. Look for the right exercise for you\nThe best answer to the question, \u201cWhy do you work out?\u201d is because you enjoy it so much! Sounds good, doesn\u2019t it? So get out there and do it.\u00a0\nWhy did you skip your violin lessons and hate ballet class as a child? Maybe you would have preferred taking up piano lessons or despised the pink tutu. The outcome: your violin and tutu ended up stored away in a box. For many of us, the situation has not really changed with time, the only exception today being that the pressure comes from within ourselves. Why force ourselves to go jogging, if we actually hate it? Only because it feels like everyone else is into running? Nonsense! Maybe you are much more motivated to swim, skate, ride your bike or join an aerobics class. Finding the suitable workout can take some time, but it is worth it. First, you need to figure out if you want to exercise indoors or outdoors, alone or in a group, if you want action or prefer calm. Still no idea? How about a few trial runs at the gym? Most of them have varied programs. Stay curious and be willing to experiment. Once you have found your type of workout, you no longer need a reason to make yourself get out there and do it.\n5. Think of the good feeling afterwards\nYou\u2019ve done it! No matter how hard, sweaty and exhausting your workout was, nothing can replace the feeling afterwards.\nIf we go jogging despite the rain or drag ourselves out of bed and to Pilates class on Sunday mornings, we feel twice as good afterwards. It\u2019s not only knowing that we have done something for ourselves and our bodies, but the thought of having conquered our inner couch potato that makes us happy. Remember this feeling next time you suffer from acute lack of motivation. One more thing: torturing ourselves on the cross trainer for an hour beats the discontent with ourselves for having spent our free time in front of the TV.\n","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"motivation-tips-workout","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-09-19 15:08:07","post_modified_gmt":"2025-09-19 15:08:07","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/?p=2845","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","ancestors":[],"page_template":"","post_category":[18],"tags_input":[],"id":2845,"author":"5","date":"2014-09-15 16:28:29","date_gmt":"2014-09-15 14:28:29","content":"<!-- wp:puma\/row-post-header {\"image\":{\"width\":1140,\"height\":640,\"file\":\"2014\/09\/CouchPotatoe_H.jpg\",\"filesize\":51735,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-300x168.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":168,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":8246},\"large\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-1024x575.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":575,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":56810},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":5172},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-768x431.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":431,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":35698},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"CouchPotatoe_H-18x10.jpg\",\"width\":18,\"height\":10,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":433}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":2851,\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/CouchPotatoe_H.jpg\",\"title\":\"CouchPotatoe_H\",\"aspect_ratio\":1.78125,\"focalPointLeft\":0.5,\"focalPointTop\":0},\"headline\":\"Couch Potato No More\",\"content\":\"Motivation tips for your workout\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u003cspan class=\\u0022textStyle_intro\\u0022\\u003eCan\u2019t be bothered?\u00a0Lousy weather?

I\u2019ll go next week.\u201d Learn to set a mental stop for yourself and bring your thoughts to a conscious level. When these thoughts come up, say \u201cstop\u201d aloud.

Eso significa que todo lo que tienes que hacer es concentrarte en el comienzo de tu entrenamiento y poner toda tu atenci\u00f3n en ello durante unos segundos.\nUsa tu fuerza de voluntad para ponerte la ropa de deporte y subirte al coche. Una vez que est\u00e9s de camino al gimnasio, no te dar\u00e1s la vuelta y cumplir\u00e1s con tus planes de ejercicio.\n3. Consigue el apoyo de un entrenador personal\nLos entrenadores personales no har\u00e1n el ejercicio por ti, pero pueden asegurarse de que lo haces bien y de forma constante.\nLos entrenadores personales son una buena inversi\u00f3n, sobre todo para los principiantes, que no saben si est\u00e1n haciendo ejercicio correctamente. Adem\u00e1s de ser grandes motivadores, los entrenadores personales nos ayudan a elaborar planes de entrenamiento y nutrici\u00f3n realistas. Cuando se trata de hacer ejercicio y perder peso, muchos buenos prop\u00f3sitos fracasan, porque esperamos demasiado de nosotros mismos al principio, hacemos ejercicio de forma incorrecta o no sabemos qu\u00e9 entrenamiento es el adecuado para nosotros. Tener una gu\u00eda puede ayudarnos a ponernos en marcha.\n4. Busca el ejercicio adecuado para ti\nLa mejor respuesta a la pregunta \u201c\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 haces ejercicio?\u201d es \u00a1porque lo disfrutas mucho! Suena bien, \u00bfverdad? Pues sal ah\u00ed fuera y hazlo.\n\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 te saltabas las clases de viol\u00edn y odiabas las de ballet cuando eras ni\u00f1o? Quiz\u00e1 hubieras preferido tomar clases de piano o despreciado el tut\u00fa rosa. El resultado: el viol\u00edn y el tut\u00fa acabaron guardados en una caja. Para muchos de nosotros, la situaci\u00f3n no ha cambiado realmente con el tiempo, con la \u00fanica excepci\u00f3n de que hoy en d\u00eda la presi\u00f3n procede de nosotros mismos. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 obligarnos a hacer footing, si en realidad lo odiamos? \u00bfS\u00f3lo porque parece que a todo el mundo le gusta correr? No tiene sentido. Quiz\u00e1 te motive mucho m\u00e1s nadar, patinar, montar en bici o apuntarte a una clase de aer\u00f3bic. Encontrar el entrenamiento adecuado puede llevar alg\u00fan tiempo, pero merece la pena. En primer lugar, tienes que averiguar si quieres hacer ejercicio en interiores o al aire libre, solo o en grupo, si quieres acci\u00f3n o prefieres la calma. \u00bfA\u00fan no tienes ni idea? \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal unas cuantas pruebas en el gimnasio? La mayor\u00eda tienen programas variados. Sea curioso y est\u00e9 dispuesto a experimentar. Una vez que hayas encontrado tu tipo de entrenamiento, ya no necesitar\u00e1s una raz\u00f3n para obligarte a salir y hacerlo.\n5. Piensa en lo bien que te sentir\u00e1s despu\u00e9s\n\u00a1Lo has conseguido! No importa lo duro, sudoroso y agotador que haya sido el entrenamiento, nada puede reemplazar la sensaci\u00f3n posterior.\nSi salimos a correr a pesar de la lluvia o nos arrastramos fuera de la cama para ir a clase de Pilates los domingos por la ma\u00f1ana, nos sentimos el doble de bien despu\u00e9s. No es s\u00f3lo saber que hemos hecho algo por nosotros mismos y por nuestro cuerpo, sino la idea de haber vencido a nuestro teleadicto interior lo que nos hace felices. Recuerda esta sensaci\u00f3n la pr\u00f3xima vez que sufras una falta aguda de motivaci\u00f3n. Una cosa m\u00e1s: torturarnos en la bici el\u00edptica durante una hora supera el descontento con nosotros mismos por haber pasado nuestro tiempo libre frente al televisor.","status":"publish","password":"","name":"motivaci\u00f3n-consejos-entrenamiento","modified":"2025-09-19 15:08:07","modified_gmt":"2025-09-19 15:08:07","content_filtered":"","parent":0,"type":"post","mime_type":"","template":"","category":[18],"datetime_local":"15 de septiembre de 2014, 14:28","date_local":"15 de septiembre de 2014","time_local":"14:28","slug":"motivation-tips-workout","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sports\/motivation-tips-workout\/","featured_image":{"width":1140,"height":640,"file":"2014\/09\/CouchPotatoe_H.jpg","filesize":51735,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"CouchPotatoe_H-300x168.jpg","width":300,"height":168,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":8246},"large":{"file":"CouchPotatoe_H-1024x575.jpg","width":1024,"height":575,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":56810},"thumbnail":{"file":"CouchPotatoe_H-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":5172},"medium_large":{"file":"CouchPotatoe_H-768x431.jpg","width":768,"height":431,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":35698},"trp-custom-language-flag":{"file":"CouchPotatoe_H-18x10.jpg","width":18,"height":10,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":433}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"id":2851,"alt":"","caption":"","description":"","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/CouchPotatoe_H.jpg","title":"CouchPotatoe_H","aspect_ratio":1.78125,"focalPointLeft":0.5,"focalPointTop":0},"headline":"Motivation tips for your workout","categories":[{"term_id":18,"name":"Deportes","slug":"sports","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":860,"filter":"raw","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/category\/sports\/"}],"theCategory":{"term_id":18,"name":"Deportes","slug":"sports","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":860,"filter":"raw","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/category\/sports\/"},"isFeaturedArticle":true,"isTopArticle":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
