On point! So on point!!💗✨💗✨💗✨💗
I think most of us have a habit which we see as being quite easy to progress with but others don’t. I struggle to get out there and feel motivated to exercise but I pick up the guitar and play to relieve stress and learn more because I enjoy it. And it’s because of guitar that I can have faith that it’s possible to do the same with exercise … the same with a language … the same with sitting at my desk to work. A habit is something which simply benefits you without mental resistance. Something which you do every day because your enjoyment from it is more powerful than the pain you may find in it.
Made to Move! Love that! I need to make that my mantra! YOU ARE MADE TO MOVE! SO DO IT ALREADY!!! 😉
I used to try and force myself to go to the gym after work, and it just never really worked for me. This year, I decided to try and do it in the morning before work. It’s hard, but I am so much more consistent than I used to be. I was also able to hire a trainer to help me put together a workout program and now that I’m lifting weights, I love it! And I feel so much better now that I’m working out consistently. It sounds stupid, but being consistent has helped motivate me to be consistent. I know that doesn’t make sense, but it’s the best way I can explain it.
stunningly inspiring . thank you
I love it 🙂
Love this video! Do you do videos at home for ballet? I would love do ballet at home.
This is really useful! I am just starting to really love the gym now, as well as teaching yoga. I go because of how it makes me feel not how it makes me look 🙂
I take ballet, tap and jazz classes because they don’t feel like exercise! Great tips, especially to take it slow. I’d also add going somewhere that encourages and welcomes all shapes and sizes. If you feel encouraged and not judged you’ll want to go rather than making yourself do it.
I’m a very active person and often get asked how can I exercise so much, and my best tip has always been to find something you love and look forward to do everyday 🙂 whenever they say "I don’t like exercising" I tell them they just haven’t tried the many different activities there are. Some expect they need to do something super intense, but sometimes, if yoga or pilates is what keeps you moving your body, then that’s what’s best for you.
I love you!
Nothing gets me more exercise (and fun!) than playing with nieces and nephews! They LOVE running around, jumping rope, and being picked up (especially during strenuous hikes– who needs a rucksack when you’ve got a toddler?) Haha
I dance kpop 😂
At what point does making it a habit actually stick? Best I could do was find an activity I didn’t hate, I stuck at it fairly consistently for a few months, but one day I didn’t feel like it anymore, stopped cold-turkey, and never looked back.
Great tips, thank you <3
I love your channel. You have such a peaceful spirit and it shines through in your videos. Your video quality is excellent and aesthetically pleasing. You also give really easy, simple tips without over-complicating things. I really enjoy your approach to life. People glorify being busy, but I love simplicity in life. Thanks for the encouragement and the wonderful content!
Love ur little keds, old
School! 😍
PhysioTherapy and weight training!
love this video! I also love excersising, wether it is in form of walking, running, sport, swimming etc. my faverouite is lifting weights actually. I love the feeling it gives me, a feeling of endorphines, feeling strong and better about myself! it really gives me a positive mood, as well as other activites. being active is definetly a must for over-all joy and happiness!
Loved this 🙂
I love your videos <3 thank you for the great tips!
Gym membership are expensive 🙃Gym is making me tired i lose my strength to work in my ofc throughout and eve workout is disturbing my morning routine i couldnt even open eyes on time tired in morning AnYTips?
I love this video! I’ve been looking for a vid on physical activity to recommend in a book I’m writing and was feeling dispirited after seeing so many boring TED talks or lectures on the psychology and/or physiology of exercise. I wanted something that emphasised doing things you enjoy and helped people become more motivated and this is just perfect. Thanks Meghan!
My favorite exercise is sleeping, i do it very regularly and i never get tired of it haha jk
I’ve slacked on my fitness for a few months now and I want to get back in the routine again. This video came at a perfect timing!
It’s very good!! 🙂
It sounds silly, but I put a star sticker on the calendar every time I go to the gym. Seeing lots of stars makes me happy and motivates me to keep going.
I would love to do ballet! I workout everyday before the kids wake up but ballet is so different, love it! I don’t have time to go outside to class though. Loved your video, as always!!!
Hi Megan thanks for the lovely tips it’s really works,😘
Hi Meghan! On instagram you mentioned to comment different exercises we enjoy. I would agree with walking and hiking (so much fun especially with others!). By myself I enjoy the spin bike and yoga as well. 😁 I liked that your tips are practical. I always try to come up with a crazy workout schedule of working out for like an hour a day…and it never lasts even a week lol😂
Thanks for the tips! Just wondering, are you Canadian?
You’re so pretty !! Great tips:)
4:20 Model Status <3
I’m so lazy:( I wish that I can make exercises as a habit
i can’t get rid of the eating disorder mindset : exercise as much as you can everyday ; it is worthless if you work out and not lose weight ;
You just earned yourself a fan with this video, loved it!
Great tips 👍
I just need more self love and compassion, and I’m thankfully for your kindness,🤩
What type of ballet slippers are you wearing? They make your foot look so pretty!!! Thanks!!!
1- Find an activity you love;
2- Exercise with someone;
3- Start slow;
4- Make it a habit;
5- You’re made to move.
With the days getting shorter, it’s getting tougher to be active, so these tips came at the perfect time! ❤️ thanks girly!
I am new here.! Hello
Thanks Meghan!! You help so much!!!
I enjoy running, swimming and walking my dog. I’m also planning to learn to horse ride next year. 🙂
“Our bodies are meant to move” ! I loved this! 👏🏻💪🏻❤️ Thank you Meghan for another inspiring video! 🙏🏻😍✨✨
Love it! 🙂 so motivating!
Doing what I love outdoor walks and indoor walks like Gina B "Torch those calories with this 20 Minute HIIT Walk" and her "Power Walk The Pounds Off 80s Style" here on YouTube as well as Leslie Sansone walks! Also writing what i want to do for the week or a weekly routine in a notebook.
Love your channel and videos!
Finding an activity that I like has been the key for me too. Since I started doing yoga I’m really motivated to work out at home and I feel really proud of that. Yoga challenges me but also makes me feel relaxed and happy. And on some days, like today, I go on a run outside, I also really enjoy that 🙃
I ate a chocolate cupcake and some galaxy chcolate with cookie crumbles v nice I promise i’ll start tommorrow ! great video
I failed even at the first step. I even get way too tired from sex, no activity I’d like
