Drop And Give Me 30 – Day 15 – What’s Your Motivation To Get Fit?
Posted on Monday, March 15th, 2010
Why does fitness for women over 50 matter?
What will our future look like if we don’t get fit after 50?
Once a woman, or man, reaches a certain age, shouldn’t they be able to sit back and relax? We’ve worked hard for years now, so shouldn’t we be able to eat what we want and just let it all go? Let the youngsters take over and wait on us, right? What’s wrong with that?
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. We have seen too many people suffer from lack of exercise and eating the wrong foods. And not just suffer physically, but emotionally, as well.
My good friend Scott Tousignant of the Fat Loss Quickie fitness program has an interesting take on the “Why” of our fitness goals. Sure, we may want to get into our skinny jeans again, but what REALLY motivates a person to get fit? Visualizing our skinny selves appears to be a motivation that has a hiccup in it – we don’t really believe it will happen.

So, what about seeing ourselves in the future as our motivation to get fit? Not our skinny jeans, but us. What are we doing with our grandkids? Are we sitting on the sofa being waited on because we can’t get up so good anymore? Or are we swimming, shooting buckets, playing tag, and getting up and down just as easily as we please?
Maybe we’re a little disappointed because we’re not as agile as we once were. Or, maybe we’re very disappointed because we aren’t healthy anymore and have to miss out on some of our children’s and grandchildren’s events.
Or, worse. Maybe we’re not around anymore to see our family grow.
Why do you really want to get fit? What is your motivation?
If your motivation is to fit into a skinny pair of jeans, then I’m suggesting that your fitness program is doomed right from the start. You need to search a little deeper and root out the real EMOTION behind the desire to get fit.
Write down your REAL motivation and look at it. I’ll bet all the skinny jeans in the world don’t compare to what you’ve written down.
I know being around and available to my grandkids and the rest of my wonderful, crazy family is the motivation I need to keep exercising. I know when I choose oatmeal over bacon, sit ups over television, I’m making a life-affirming choice.
I hope you’ll join me and find your motivation – your own “Why” – and start an exercise program that works for you. Doing some form of exercise every day and eating right just may keep you fit and on this earth long enough to enjoy those people who motivate you!
I can commit to do 10 minutes of exercise twice a day, every day. Will you make the same commitment?
