Just remind yourself why you are doing this. Tell yourself that you are not going to quit. Losing weight and getting healthy is important.
You can do it!0 -
I bought a heart rate monitor to help me with that push. I don't like going below 145 so if I see it starting to drop then I pick it up. It hurts, and goodness knows I hate to get sweaty but when I'm all finished then it's a kick *kitten* feeling to know that I did all of that!0

I breath in deeply and imagine the hot chick I'm going to turn into. It helps. A lot.0

I usually have some jumpin music that keeps me going. . . or a visual picture of what I want to look like locked in my mind. . I have been known to put the weight that I desire on my wrist and look at it when I am pushing through a workout. .
My boxing instructor always said when you are out of breathe it is actually better to keep going and not stop if you can push through it as it increases your endurance. .
It is actually more difficult if you stop and try to restart. . I was running 2 miles at a time and doing circuit training. . Hope this helps. .
And personally I pray. . if I am feeling I can go no further. Your breathing is very important as well. . focus on it in any exercise. .0 -
I tell myself that "I can do this" and I keep moving no matter how slow. Slow motion is better than no motion. Eventually my body reaches a point where I can start moving faster again and I don't feel the pain quite as intensely.0

I think of where I am vs. where I want to be.

Well at my gym they have t.v's but i cant seem to concentrate on them lol Luckily my gym is next to a walmart so i watch all the hilarious people go in & out and when im about to die on the treadmill i look at the numbers and say to myself im gonna go til i get to 150 then when i get to 150 i say i can go up to 160 ....i just keep telling myself i can go up burn an even number & the next time i look down its usually an uneven number so i tell myself to go to the next even number ...works pretty well for me:)0

I rely heavily on a kick-*kitten* playlist to get me through my cardio sessions. Rock and Pop mostly.0

I count to 4 over and over and over. For some reason it helps me.0

I watch TV. I have a TV right in front of my treadmill.
Me too. Only way for me is to be distracted. Right now, it's by Jennifer Garner, as I watch re-runs of Alias.0 -
I do Ripped in 30 and its rally hard work but I keep going thinking about the end result, how hot I will look when Ive lost all that weight, how bad I feel about beeing overweight, that I dont want to look like this and that loosing weight comes with a lot of hard work and I just need to prove to myself and the universe that I have what it takes to be rewarded with a superfab body!
And when it comes to different moves I ususally just challenge myself to do another five, and then five more, and then five more and oh, what do you know, Jillian has already moved on to the next move, and then when the second set of the same move comes i remind myself that i only need to do antoher ten of this move today and then im freeeee at last.0 -
I really have to push through to get myself up this ridiculously steep hill when I go on my runs. I first ask myself why the hell I keep going up it because it really sucks. I then tell myself it will be way worth it, just wait till this becomes easy.0

All kidding aside, I spell the word PAIN over and over again. My mom has some very serious health issue which was made worse by inactivitiy and she is a pain most of the time. I just think about the pain I will experience if I don't kept moving.0

I do that, to helps me keep rhythm and thus no slowing down
If i'm really struggling I just think about what this burn, sweat and discomfort will help me achieve.0 -
No pain, No gain!0

I'm like a few of the other people. I just keep telling myself one more .. ok one more .. ok one more .. until finally the move I'm on is over and suddenly I realize that I did the entire exercise without missing any of it.0
