How to motivate yourself to work out at home?

As we all know, staying motivated to work out at home can quickly become a real challenge. Without the atmosphere of a gym or the dynamism of a group, it's easy to give in to the temptation to put off your session.

But what's really stopping us from transforming our home into a space dedicated to our physical and mental well-being? This article is here to show you how to create lasting habits and make every workout a moment you'll look forward to.

1. Be organized and structured in your schedule

Set a precise schedule

The first step to success is to plan your training sessions as essential appointments in your schedule. Identify the times of day when you feel most energetic, whether in the morning, afternoon or evening, and reserve these slots specifically for your workout. Once you've got that down in your calendar, stick to those workout times in the same way you would your other appointments, such as work, the dentist or hairdresser.

Start small and build up gradually

There's no need to jump straight into long, intense sessions. Start with short sessions, then gradually increase the duration and intensity as your body adapts. This will help you set achievable goals and stay motivated without getting discouraged.

2. Have a structured training plan

Follow an adapted training program

Having a structured training plan is essential to staying on track and seeing steady progress. If you sometimes feel lost or unmotivated, a structured program like EVERHOME could be the solution. This at-home training program has been specially designed to offer you complete coaching from home, guiding you step by step with workouts tailored to your level. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, EVERHOME offers 35-45 minute sessions, 4-5 times a week, to keep you motivated and see real results.

Your private trainer is available 24/7 via the app to ensure constant support and regular adjustments to your program.

3. Create an environment that encourages exercise

Dedicate a specific space for your workouts

To encourage regularity, identify a dedicated space in your home that will become your workout corner. It doesn't matter how big or small, the important thing is to be able to go there every day and get moving. Once you're in that space, you'll naturally get into condition to work out, just as if you were heading to the gym.

Eliminate distractions

Make sure your space is free of distractions. Turn off the TV, put your phone on silent, and make sure those you live with respect your workout time. This will allow you to concentrate fully on your goals.

4. Visualize your goals and progress

Set SMART goals

Set yourself clear, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound (SMART) goals. For example, instead of just saying "I want to get fit", say "I'm going to exercise for 30 minutes, three times a week, for the next two months". This will keep you focused and motivated.

Track your progress

Keep track of your workouts and progress. Whether it's through an app, a fitness journal, or before-and-after photos, seeing the results of your efforts, however small, can be a powerful motivator.

5: Reward your efforts

Reward yourself after each session

After each session, give yourself a little reward and time to yourself, whether it's an episode of your favorite TV series, a relaxing bath, or a healthy meal you enjoy. This little attention reinforces the positive association with training.

Celebrate milestones

When you reach a milestone, don't hesitate to celebrate! Whether it's treating yourself to sports equipment, a well-deserved massage, or sharing your success with loved ones, these moments of recognition are essential to maintaining your motivation over the long term.
