advice for getting over 3week drop out

I can be very good with workouts for 3 weeks, then I fall off the wagon! Or maybe someone's pushing me off....only kidding....

any ways anyone have any advice on how to get over that 3week hump?

Try and find someone to workout with... maybe not someone close to you so you can't offer a lame excuse... or for that fourth week schedule different workout buddies for the entire week so that you have a reason to go and if you go somewhere where you can bring a guest, do that, that way you won't be willing to let someone down! Good luck!

I wonder if boredom is part of the problem. Would it help to vary your workouts more? Some ideas to add variety could be: join a group, join an organized sports activity or class, walk a different route, join netflix and rent various workout dvds, go dancing often, start working towards a black belt in a martial art, check out horseback riding... perhaps you just need to have a little fun?

Hi mamid!! We've missed you! It's good to see you back! The only thing I can suggest is don't be such a perfectionist about your workouts. For instance - you've figured out that you can go 3 weeks being "good" and then you fall off - maybe your subconscious is sabbotaging you when you look at your workouts in weekly spurts like that. Try taking it one day at a time and don't keep "score" of how long you've gone with getting those workouts in.

Blozzom :-)

Your body might be trying to tell you something- are you trying to maintain an unsustainable level of activity? Your body may be rebelling and telling you to take it easy.

Try working out a little less hard and see if that makes it easier to make it past the third week.
