if you're struggling with motivation and consistency with your home workouts
this video is going to help i've been training at home for many years now and
have learned what's important for achieving personal success
regardless if you've got a full home gym or limited equipment my five mental hacks are
going to level up your mindset increase your passion and improve the quality of your life
hey everyone australian physio daniel vadimal here for fitness faqs to keep this video real
and fun i'm going to be showing you clips from my daily quarantine grinds i'm out here isolated in
melbourne shout out to everyone around the world i'm going to share with you what's helped me over
the past decade day-to-day changes in training are going to be slow so without having concrete
long-term feedback systems our default emotion is disappointment through our own unrealistic
expectations be your own cheerleader you need to recognize your own effort and remember that it is
was and always will be you versus you proving ourselves competent is something that we all crave
we need to remind ourselves that we're improving from who we were yesterday last week and last
month this is going to build the confidence and the consistency to keep going when it gets hard
what can be extremely helpful for intrinsic motivation is visual feedback i'm a massive
proponent of filming your own training forming a successful habit relies on three principles
cue routine and reward after a refreshing eight hours of sleep part of my morning routine
involves a walk to warm up when i return home i sit down and drink my coffee while studying
the day's training plan by now the caffeine is flowing and i flick the mental switch
put the music on and it's time to start training from this point on it's strictly training no phone
no tv no computer no distractions this is the one time of the day which is a hundred percent mind
i'm not worrying about my personal life i'm not worrying about work i'm delaying everything else
for future daniel to handle training is a precious time for me to mentally switch off
from outside distractions and cherish the opportunity to tackle the task at hand
after finishing i hit the shower eat breakfast then proceed to grind the fitness faq's vision
into existence with my heart and soul with that said this is what works for me there's no right
or wrong time to train for everyone because we all have different lifestyles preferences and goals
what matters is you hold yourself accountable to a time of day which is sustainable and realistic for
you next up we have goal setting now before you close the video because it's obvious
hear me out we're all in this together really over the last few months we've all been forced to think
and adapt to the circumstances over the past 10 years the worst period of my training are always
when i have a lack of direction i'd consider this working out where you essentially go in there
you do some random stuff in the hope that you get better without knowing exactly what you want to do
personally if i don't have clear goals i naturally cut corners by doing less reps
less sets training at a lower intensity and a lower rpe than i actually should if i don't
have a training program i just go in there and i work on what i'm good at as opposed
to addressing my weaknesses and doing the work that is actually required to make substantial
progress gaining pleasure from the process is an undeniable aspect of fulfillment and success
when it comes to being consistent with your home workouts we're all in such a unique situation
right now we've been robbed of the freedom of extensive opportunities that we previously took
for granted to some extent most of us have had our training circumstances altered quite drastically
it's easy to get trapped into thinking what we don't have and beating ourselves
up for not being perfect now is not the time to be overly critical on ourselves
we really have to take each day as it comes your greatest home workout fulfillment is going to come
purely from the task itself the process instead a healthier everyday mindset is to embrace the highs
the lows and the mundane aspect of home workouts for what they are i know it's easier said than
done but we always have freedom of choice it's on you it's on me to gain satisfaction
from our home workouts regardless of what external circumstances are thrust upon us
a big part of the human experience is connection feeling a sense of relatedness and also belonging
right now as individuals a community and a global society we're feeling unprecedented distance due
to the collective struggle we're all experiencing there's a widespread aura of despondency which is
soul sucking to put it nicely if you're feeling unmotivated disconnected and craving positivity
you're not alone i'd like to invite you to our private fitness faqs forum
it's free to join no trolls no hate just positivity and love all right everyone thanks
for watching all the best with your home workouts stay strong and i'll see you soon
