Motivation is one of the most difficult obstacles that I always struggle with is motivation. Whenever I decide that I want to start working out, I usually break the habit by the second day. It's really frustrating because I genuinely enjoy working out, but I have no actual incentive to do it.

I get so embarrassed working out, even when I'm alone. I always feel like someone's watching and judging, and that's the main thing holding me back. This is a really big problem, I have and I would love to get rid of it.

The best thing I can do is create a sort of incentive for myself and just ignore the begrudging feeling of being judged.

My biggest struggle when it comes to getting more fit is that I do not really have the motivation to workout. I struggle with actually getting up to go to the gym or go for a run, so I give myself an exact plan of what I will do each day, then I should hopefully get more fit.

# data[].attributes.body
I struggle with self motivation and consistency. I get distracted sometimes and its hard for me to motivate myself to get up.  That's why i am not consistence.
I tend to procrastinate and that isn't good, but I do end up pushing myself to get it done. Sometimes i just don't know what routines do, but as i learn i start to figure out more things about working out and staying healthy i will learn what fitness plan is right for me.

# data[].attributes.body
The two biggest obstacles I face are self motivation and consistency. I find it hard to push myself on my own and continently rely on others for motivation. Consistency is also super hard for me when it comes to being fit. I can never get into a routine no matter how hard I try.

# data[].attributes.body
An obstacle that might occur while I am going to focus on getting healthier and more fit over the next 4 weeks is that I may be tempted to skip a day of exercise because of how busy my schedule might be on that day (since my workouts tend to last 30 minutes to an hour on average). Although life gets really busy at times, I believe that exercise is still essential, so if a busy day like this comes, I will try to make an effort to at least exercise for 10 minutes that day (like doing a quick jog around my neighborhood for instance).

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest obstacle for me would be staying consistent and having a set schedule. When I try to get into a routine, I usually stop and skip working out for a couple of days. It’s really hard for me to not say, “I’ll just double the workout tomorrow.” Then, I end up skipping for the rest of the week. I think setting up a designated time everyday for my workouts will help.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest obstacle was feeling unmotivated when I didn't see my weight go down and encouraging myself to eat healthy and keep going. It's definitely really hard in the beginning when exercising because it is new and you want to see improvements right away. Something that helps me, but has taken me a long time to understand is that exercising is how it makes you feel internally, it's not always about how you look. Eating healthy is super important because you may not see the results you want if you don't change your diet.

# data[].attributes.body
The two biggest obstacles for me would be motivation and consistency. I usually need to be motivated to work out otherwise I do not have the energy for it. Also some days I feel like eating healthy and exercising while on others I feel like sitting on the couch. To fix these problems I need to focus on my goal and get there at a pace.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  One obstacle that I would face is staying on a schedule because I get side tracked with things other than exercising. The way I plan to over come this by having a schedule for the week ready.

2. Another obstacle I face is eating correctly. I tend to snack a lot throughout the day and the snacks usually not healthy ones. I can overcome this obstacle by gradually changing the snacks to healthy ones until all my snacks are healthy.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I struggle with consistency and staying motivated to work out. Having a schedule will help a lot with that.
2. I also struggle with time. I always struggle with running out of time and not making time to work out. Having a set workout time and schedule will help me with this issue.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle would be motivation, my solution would be adding some fun things to my exercise. The other obstacle would be the food I eat everyday, my solution is make a plan for each meal so I can have a portion of everything.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest obstacle for me is staying motivated. Some days I will wake up and be ready to workout and think that I will get up and do it everyday, but then the next day I won't get up and workout. I will maybe try to set goals for myself, so I can feel motivated to reach that goal.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one of the biggest obstacles is that fact that I need to stay motivated. It is really hard for me to stay motivated. What can do to stay motivated it think of all the positive and good outcomes of being fit.

# data[].attributes.body
the biggest obstacle for me will be staying positive and never think negative about anything . i will at least stay motivated and healthy and reach my goals and be a better person.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest obstacle for me will be staying motivated. My solution for this would to change up what I’m doing for exercising. This way I’m excited about what activity I’m doing. My other obstacle will be time. To fix this I will make sure to set certain time for exercising.

# data[].attributes.body
 I think one of my obstacles will be distraction. I feel like I'll always have something better to do. I'm going to try and do my workout after I wake up so it's done and I don't have to think about it the rest of the day.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest obstacle for me would be time. I work during both the summer and school year, so it feels challenging to find the time to do fitness. In reality I know that I can make time, so to rid myself of this obstacle I need to remind myself that I actually do have time.

# data[].attributes.body
The first obstacle for me would be to stay motivated and my solution for that is to do something fun while im exercising like watching tv. My second obstacle would be perfect form at whatever I'm doing. I will just try to stay focused.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of the time I struggle with motivation. I think the fact that i am on a dead line will help though. I am also busy a lot of the time so i may struggle with time management. I will remedy this by planning ahead.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing the I could see becoming an obstacle for me is losing the motivation to work out. There are many days where I make up excuses and tell myself that it is okay if I don’t exercise. This wouldn’t be a problem if it was once every few days, but it happens almost every day. This could be a major problem as I try to maintain a goal for four weeks, but I am going to set reminders on my phone and be aware of my excuses.  Another obstacle could be injuries. I tend to injure myself very easily, and that can make it difficult to work out. The best way to overcome this obstacle would be to find exercises that don’t effect the injured area, or to let myself take a break so that I can get back to it as soon as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle I might have is not being able to stay motivated. One way that I can overcome this is to set alarms/reminders for when I need to workout. I also can focus on the end result to remind myself of why I'm exercising. I can also exercise with other people to help hold me more accountable. The second obstacle that I might face is not sticking to a healthy diet. I can combat this by finding healthy but delicious recipes to make. This will help prevent me from eating a ton of junk food.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle I may face is injury or sore muscles, which I would overcome by taking rest days to allow my body to heal, eating the protein necessary to strengthen my muscles, stretching after working out, changing my workout routine, etc. Another obstacle I may face is lack of motivation, especially since I mostly want to float in the pool all day during the summer. To overcome this I will set a schedule with reminders to workout to hold myself accountable and remind myself of the positive effects working out will have on me so I can keep my eyes on the prize.

# data[].attributes.body
The first obstacle would be cravings. Cravings for huge piles of unhealthy carbs. To combat this I would either remind myself of the long term gains of not eating twelve Hershey bars, or I'd slightly give in and only eat one Hershey bar. Everything is fine in moderation. The second obstacle I would probably obstacle would be not feeling up to workout one day. There are two ways I would combat this. I would either, again, remind myself of the long term goals, or I'd give in, and resolve to go on a walk later that day instead.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle I can foresee myself facing is a lack of motivation, to combat this I'm going to set reminders for when I need to workout and remind myself of why I want to exercise. Another obstacle I might face is not having access to my workout space for enough time, which I can combat by doing the exercises I can and saving the others for another time.

# data[].attributes.body
An obstacle for me is being to bored to go to the gym or for a walk. Sometimes I remind myself that a workout is a good way to take a break from studying, or I take music with me to keep me motivated.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle I might struggle with is procrastination because I usually end u doing things the day they're due. One way I can combat this is to start all my assignments a day early and pretend that the due dates are then so I can have one more day to complete all of the exercises with one day to spare.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle I feel I might face is fitting exercising into my schedule. In general, I'm pretty busy, so I need to figure out a set time each day to exercise. Another obstacle is my extremely poor memory, so I could set reminders and alarms each day to combat this issue.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle is that I tend to give up on exercising if I do not see immediate results and I tend to lose motivation really quickly. To overcome this obstacle, I would have to remind myself that engaging in exercise and physical activity is all about the long term, so I need to remind myself that I will have to keep working hard consistently over an extensive period of time to see results. I could also  start by setting smaller goals before building up to larger goals.

One obstacle is not staying focused and/or motivated. I can overcome this by setting smaller goals to later reach my bigger goals.

# data[].attributes.body
1. My days would be uneven, especially during shows when I’m working nine hours a day. I’d get my  hours, sure, but there’d be other days where I don’t do any because I’m so overworked. But a rest day wouldn’t hurt, so as long as I do something, it’ll help.
2. I’d be intimidated, but if I talk with others about it, I can keep my head.

# data[].attributes.body
A few obstacles that I could run into is my lack of motivation. I normally don't want to exercise, and that just makes me put it off. I think a way for me to work through this is by finding a buddy to work out with. My sister is taking this same class with me, so maybe I can get motivated by working with her.

# data[].attributes.body
A few obstacles I may run into is keeping up with everything. I tend to get off track and forget about things, especially when it comes to exercise. I can stop this by working on a daily routine and keep the motivation going.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest problem for me is that sometimes, I am not motivated. A way I can overcome that is to tell myself that I can do it, and just go for it.

# data[].attributes.body
Obstacles I tend to struggle with are time management and commitment. I enjoy relaxing or spending time with my friends in my downtime and I don’t plan my schedule out too well. In these coming weeks, it’ll be even harder with my extracurricular commitments taking up a good chunk of my time. A solution to this would be to try and multitask and be active while hanging out with my friends or being more detailed in planning out my schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
1. My friends go out to eat a lot at fast food restaurants and its going to be hard to stop myself from eating junk food.
2. When I feel tired it is basically impossible to motivate myself to workout so it's going to be hard to keep myself on track.

# data[].attributes.body
Two of my biggest obstacles are time management and patience. I desperately want to work out once a month and get ripped within the year. I know it doesn't work like that. Juggling my own mental health, my social life, my schooling, my job and literally everything else- it's quite hard to find time to work out.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle I struggle with is consistency with exercise. I try to exercise 3 times a week, but sometimes too many tests come up, I oversleep, the weather's horrible, or I just get lazy.  I'll try to focus more on at-home workouts to minimize the impact of outside factors .

# data[].attributes.body
Obstacles I’m struggling with are my diet and having time to exercise. Because I am in my junior year, I have a lot of homework every day that takes up most of my time, and sometimes I want to have down time after that. A solution to these problems would be tracking my calories throughout the day and setting a specific time to exercise.

# data[].attributes.headline
One obstacle I’m facing right know is not having enough time to do my exercises but at least I try to start working out and playing catch with my brother instead of doing exercise like starches.

The obstacle I’m struggling with is time management. I have a lot of trips and other things going on, and it’s hard to find time to make sure I’m getting my exercising in.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle is poor time management. I am always super busy and sometimes find myself not working out because I tell myself I am busy and don't have enough time.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle is procrastinating.  I might find myself saying that I will reach my goal tomorrow, or at some other time.  Therefore, I will keep putting off being healthy.  Another obstacle is not putting enough effort down the road.  I might start off excited to start a new routine, but eventually I'd get bored and I'd stop following it.

# data[].attributes.body
Two obstacles I see are lack of motivation and the schedules of others. To make up for my lack of motivation, I'm thinking about buying a "weight-loss outfit". Basically, what you do is buy an outfit that's too small for you at the beginning of the plan and try it on every week. If there's a difference in how it fits, then it's really encouraging. To adapt to my dad's schedule( I'm too young to drive, and he's my ride to the gym) I'll talk with him on weekends to work out a weekly schedule that will work for the both of us.

# data[].attributes.body
Two obstacles I might run into are lack of motivation and going on road trips. I can conquer the lack of motivation obstacle by remembering the rewards of being fit. I can conquer the obstacle of going on road trips and eating fast food by keeping fruit like apples in the car.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the obstacles I will run into is me not being motivated. I have a habit of forgetting to do it, or even being lazy and not participating. I need to try and get the most out of it, and not give up so easily. Another obstacle is that you also need to watch the food choices you make, which is hard for me because I have been traveling, and I love to try new things!

# data[].attributes.body
I see myself running into two obstacles: laziness and motivation. Sometimes, I find I am way too lazy to do anything, and so I don't really have the mojo to do any workouts. Similarly, I lack motivation to do anything a lot of times.

# data[].attributes.body
Two problems I may come across: food and lack of motivation. To combat these things, I'm going to try to make working out as fun and enjoyable as possible by having it consist of interesting activities, and I'm also going to track what I eat and encourage myself not to make poor choices by holding myself accountable.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my biggest obstacles is FOOD! Over these next 4 weeks I will be traveling for most of it and I don't think Ill be able to control myself! This place has one of my favorite restaurants, but its soooo unhealthy!! Also, another obstacle I have is having the energy and motivation to work out!

# data[].attributes.body
One major obstacle for me is finding the motivation to work out and not stopping when it start to become tiring. When I run, sometimes I feel too hot or too thirsty to continue running, and sometimes my upper body workout seems to push me too much. However, I can overcome these obstacles by asking a friend to work out with me to keep me motivated and maybe provide competition, or I can create a reward system for myself, such as watching an episode of my favorite show after a long run.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a couple of my obstacles would be a lack of motivation, and kinda getting bored at the gym.

This class has actually helped me combat the motivation problem quite a bit: it’s outlined how many ways I can get fit and how it’s better for my health. I can remind myself that I should be getting healthier, and that I can get healthier without having to get ripped.

At the gym I did have a habit of getting bored, but I think I’ve gotten real far at combating it. I have music and podcasts to listen to, and I’ve been able to get through four and a half seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine already while working out. I’ve found so many things to do, I think I’ll be fine.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest obstacle is time. Some days, it is really hard to find time to exercise because I have such a busy life. My plan is to find time to exercise and exercise

# data[].attributes.body
my obstacles:
1) lack of motivation
2) social life/job

I don't really have motivation to work out most times because there are other things that have short-term rewards I would rather spend my time doing, and I like the way I feel/look, so I don't have any drive to change it. To solve this, I will remind myself that exercising isn't only to look/feel good, it's also to improve your long-term health.
When I get busy with friends, family, and a busy working schedule, it becomes difficult to plan time to spend exercising. To solve this, I'll put time to exercise far in advance on my calendar, so I can plan around it.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle might be making a specific time for exercising, especially since I have many other activities, such as guitar, and multiple summer assignments. I could decide to plan the rest of my summer in order to finish both exercise and work.

# data[].attributes.body
My obstacles are more mind blocks rather than actual obstacles. I feel like there would be nothing motivating me to do better until I really got into it. But I could always try to get friends to do it with me so I feel better. Another thing is being organized about it and actually doing the task. I would probably say I'm going to exercise but not actually do it. Although if I put it in my planner or set reminders I would probably do it.

# data[].attributes.body
A major obstacle for me is hanging out with friends. I can not control not eating healthy because I do not think about it. I just have fun, socialize, and eat whatever. After I have the junk food I feel less motivated to keep on being healthy.

# data[].attributes.body
School and Vacation- these occupy time and prevent me from being able to go to gym. However, by anticipating these time blocks and planning ahead when to workout AND being open to the idea of working out in unconventional places, I can solve this.

# data[].attributes.body
My obstacles will probably be lack of equipment and heat. I don't own hardly any exercise equipment aside from a treadmill, but that will only work out my lower body. I also don't handle heat will, which doesn't pair awesomely with living in Texas, so I'll have to make sure to take extra precautions to stay cool.

# data[].attributes.body
PLANS: I will make sure I have a plan of attack for my exercises, but if family events or friend hangouts come up, I need to make I complete the workouts I need to do the day before I do my fun activities with my friends and family.

# data[].attributes.body
an obstacle for me is procrastination. i know this is one that alot of people struggle with but i always put things off and then i never get around to actually doing it. so i think that if i have a schedule or a certain timing i need to do things, then i wont have that problem anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
My obstacle is going to be myself and making me  exercise.  I am going to get my family to help "encourage" me to exercise.

# data[].attributes.body
VACATION- when traveling it can be easy to just relax and eat out more often than not. However, we could wake up in the morning and go for a run. We could also make sure to be walking around and just being active for a majority of the day.
LAZINESS- I can find myself being very unproductive in the summer. I need something to motivate me before I do things that require effort. I could go to the gym with a friend or plan in advance when I would work out to make sure I get it done.

# data[].attributes.body
It can be raining outside, and I could lose the ability to run or bike outside. Instead. I can run or bike with my indoor machines, which I may just do to start with.

# data[].attributes.body
Procrastination is a big obstacle for me. If I wasn’t motivated to exercise, I would just put it off after schoolwork, SAT prep, piano, or I would waste my time doing unnecessary things instead of exercising. So I think a solution to this problem would be for me to find a motivation in exercise. Maybe if you didn’t like working out, you could meet with your friends and do it together, or you could work out in hopes of getting on a team. Whatever the reason, I believe exercise should be done with a motivation in mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Procrastination - I will set an alarm for myself to remind myself that I have to get up and get moving

Traveling - I’m going to be out of town for a few day, but the 0lace I’m staying at has a gym so I’ll be able to workout there, or I could just go outside for a run.

# data[].attributes.body
I face many obstacles over the course of summer, especially with homework/studying and swimming.
Homework/Studying- Because I require myself to sit down and read a book, do homework, or study, I'm not always interested in going outside. I do some indoor exercises to keep me fit, but I'm also not taking enough Vitamin D and taking small laps around the neighborhood to improve my cardiovascular endurance. To fix this, I should wake up in the morning and walk around in my neighborhood.
Swimming- My siblings really enjoy getting the chance to go outside for a swim, but swimming is one my least favorite thing to do. It's a simple exercise, but I believe I should step outside of my comfort zone instead of being holed up in my room working on something.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle for me is not being able to drive and not being able to go to a gym. I turn 16 very soon so it won't be an issue for much longer. I'm also a very picky eater, so if I want to build more muscle and eat foods that will help with that, it will be hard for me to find something I will be motivated to eat.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  one obstacle would be to just get up and do it because i'm lazy. One way I can change that is by setting little timers through out the day that tell me to get up and move
2. I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now because of yearbook planning for next year. One thing I can do to manage this is to do smaller more frequent workouts rather than one big long one.

# data[].attributes.body
An obstacle I face is that I travel during the summer a lot. This means I am away from the gym and don't have full control over what I eat. Along with this, time is another obstacle. I have summer assignments, robotics, personal projects, classwork, etc. I am pretty pressed for time. Finally, transportation. My parents work, and since I can't drive, I can't get myself to the gym.

# data[].attributes.body
The main obstacle for me is going to be time. Because I have so many activities to do within the next month, I will not have as much time to exercise every day. I need to be able to manage my time wisely so that I can make room for at least one 30 minute workout every day. This means that I need to make working out my top priority and put other things, such as watching TV, lower on the list. Another obstacle that I may face is my lack of workout equipment, such as a mat or dumbbells. I can overcome this obstacle by working with what I have, such as a bike and jump rope, or by working out without any equipment. In addition, if I want to work on weight training, I can always practice slowly lifting and carrying heavy objects other than dumbbells.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle in my health path is time. I’m participating in many extracurricular activities this summer, and lots of them are scheduled, weekly classes. This, combined with some dangerous heat during the day, may make it difficult to set aside time for exercise. However, the classes are all at specific times, so I think I can create my own workout schedule to avoid collision. Another problem is commitment. Health isn’t a one time exercise; it’s something that spans a lifetime full of habits and practices. Outside of this class, it may be challenging to stay on track in relation to my health, especially once schools starts. One way I could bypass this is similar to my last solution. By scheduling workouts to extend past this course, my fitness can stay on track for a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
An obstacle of mine will be Florida. I am going to go to Florida in a week and I know I am going to eat plenty of healthy and unhealthy foods. My solution is to limit the portions of the unhealthy foods. That way I can enjoy them without eating too many calories.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle for me is traveling. I will be going out of the country and I won’t always be in the time and place and have the resources I need to exercise with. I can try solving this by tracking my steps and finding moments to complete it.
The other obstacle for me is losing motivation/procrastinating. I tend to get the motivation to do something when I can’t do it and then later I lose motivation. My solution is to get up earlier, for more time, and pull through it first thing before I do anything else.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle for me is feeling like I have to do something, and then tiring myself just thinking about exercising. I’ve found that if I tell myself to stop when I feel like I can’t do it anymore, I tend to do more than I planned, because I feel less stressed(and partially because I like to believe that I can do it if I want to).

The second obstacle is the fact that I’m crunched for time. My family’s schedules give me limited hours a week for transportation(I can’t drive yet), and I have other activities that take up my morning and afternoon. A solution that I can try is to cut out things that are unproductive to replace them with exercise. This way, any spare time will be utilized properly.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest obstacle over the next few weeks is that my family and I are taking a vacation to Maui, so I won't have constant access to food nutritional information or food I can make myself. I plan on only choosing foods that fit into my nutrition plan and can be uploaded onto MyFitnessPal someway. The second obstacle is also related to our trip to Maui. Usually I see a personal trainer four times a week, but I will miss those days while on vacation. I am definitely bringing clothes for the hotel gym and plan on utilizing the ocean and hotel pools for aerobic swimming as well as leisure.

# data[].attributes.body
1. An obstacle that I might face is procrastination. I say “oh I’ll just do that tomorrow” and then the next day say it again. I lose track of time until it’s to late to do it. To stop this I’m going to be more responsible and get things done way ahead of time.

# data[].attributes.body
One obstacle for me is that I can't drive. So if I want to go to the gym, I have to rely on someone. I don't mind running in the neighborhood, but sometimes I want to use machines. I also sometimes get to playing games online with friends and don't realize how long I've been there, Then it's too late to do something. I'm going to try and plan ahead so that I can arrange my ride and won't get distracted with friends.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest obstacle is the fact I get sucked into doing something else. For example, I will start doing something with friends or family and totally forget to work out. My solution is to get up earlier and get it done first.
