LOSING MOTIVATION?

Nobody is motivated 100% of the time. We have all fallen into a slump at one time or another in life and in the gym. This is the time of year when many people start to feel a lack of motivation. We begin spending less time working toward the goals we set, and we start to forget why we even started. We often just look at the end result we want without having a time frame or a plan, so we remain demotivated. Often it is very difficult to climb out of that slump and get back on track.
