Find Your Motivation for 2014
Blog | January 02, 2014
I am sure that you are still motivated and excited about your new year’s resolutions. It’s been only 2 days so I am hopping that you’ve been doing great so far. Did you know that according to statistics only 8% of people actually stay committed to their resolutions and become successful in achieving their goals? If you want to belong to those successful 8%, you have to keep yourself motivated and excited about what’s to come if you stick with the challenge. I personally think that if you have fun, along the way, you can achieve anything you want. It’s way harder to stay motivated if you are frustrated, stressed out, or bored. So I have a homework for you. You have to find your motivation! First watch this video and then read on.
You have to ask yourself what would make my workouts more fun? What would make me more excited to do my workouts on a regular basis? What’s stopping me? I have asked myself these questions long time ago and came up with a system that works great for me and thousands of people that do these workouts with me. I wanted my workouts to be short, effective, and doable at home without having to go to a gym. But what if you have the option to do these workouts at home and you still can’t find the motivation to exercise? You know you do want to be healthy and look great, however it’s not enough to get moving. You’re definitely not the only person out there who’s having the same problem. What else can you do?
Find a sport, or an activity that you’ve always wanted to try. Or maybe you used to do something when you were younger and stopped for lack of time, family problems, etc. Now it’s the time to reinvent yourself, be more adventurous and try something new. I am sure that you can think of some sport that you would like to be really good at. Something that will make you feel proud and passionate. Maybe you could try some martial art, skiing, ice skating, roller blading, tennis, rock climbing, you name it. The point is not to get to the professional level, but to have fun, be active and be social.
You can meet new friends and be part of a great group of people. Just imagine yourself a few months from now where you can be physically and socially if you start today. One more thing. Do not wait to start with a sport until you get into shape. That’s number one excuse for most people – those do not belong to the 8% of successful folks. Don’t be afraid of judgment, because that’s just an irrational fear. Do not be afraid that others will laugh at you, because you’re clumsy or out of shape. Who cares what anyone thinks. Being a good person with positive mind set is way more important than your looks or sport skills. Everyone who thinks differently can kiss your rear end. You’re a warrior!
P.S. If you want to workout with me 5 times a week at the comfort of your home, then join my Zgym.

You are really a great person, Z. You’re an inspirational as always. I will be doing your ZWOW 100 now + ZShred 1. 🙂 I’m still not good in one leg pistol squat though but I will do the best I can. The idea is to finish it and no excuse, right? 🙂

I love that! No excuses and doing your best. You go girl!

I joined your Zgym Zuzka and I absolutely love it! This year I’m working on my flexibility, my pistol squats suck so I’ll be practicing them and just enjoying a healthier lifestyle, having fun along the way. Last year I lost 16 kg and this year I’m planning to keep improving my fitness. Thank you Zuzka 🙂

Great reminders, Zuzka. I’m committing to meeting up with a local running group every Tuesday night that does a short 3-mile run and then socializes afterwards at a local restaurant/bar. I haven’t gone very often over the past year, but when I did, I always had fun and met great people. Thanks so much for the motivation – I love the ZGym more than any other workouts I’ve ever done!

I wanna stick with running, biking, swimming and learn something new: skiing 🙂

I’ve been thinking about crosscountry skiing! My husband loves snowboarding, but I am terrified of heights. SO, I think this should be fun 🙂

Hi Zuzka,
My favorit sport activity is running..it is my passion. Your workouts help me be a better runner!I have been following you for a while and I love the ZGYM! My family thinks I’m obssesed with you but not really. I just love your energy and your workouts. They work for me. I also wanted to let you know that my 13 year old daughter has started doing your workouts with me. She runs Cross Country so she is doing your workouts to help her get in the best shape she can so she can run faster and stronger! so see… ZWOW, ZSHRED and ZYOGA are for everyone…
One other idea I had the other day……. You’ve seen the P90X and Insanity infomercials?? well I was thinking of videoing myself during one of your short, intense 15 minute workouts and sending it to you…for marketing purposes….cause you really don’t have to workout for an hour a day 6 days a week to have the body you want! I love what your doing…..keep it up!! 🙂

I dont know if hiking is considered a sport, but my husband and I used to go weekly before his injured his shoulder and needed surgery… I hope that this year after my baby is born (in the 30 days) that is something that we can do weekly again 🙂
