When you think of summer, you may not immediately think that it’s a good time of year to keep up your gym routine, but think again. The gym can be a great place to engage in intense workouts and during the summer, you’ll appreciate the climate controlled environment. How do you stay motivated to keep going? Here are 3 great ways to keep you motivated to get to the gym this summer.
1.Use the Buddy System
Get out with a friend, they can be a great way to keep you motivated. Taking a friend can give someone to socialize with and keep you accountable. A little healthy competition doesn’t hurt either. You might be ready to get off the treadmill but watching your friend power through those last few minutes might just be what you need to finish as well.

Track Your Results
Don’t just feel the burn, track it. Progress can sometimes be gradual and you may not notice it right away but tracking your results can show you the progress. It’s not always easy if you’re trying to meet goals and you know you still have a long way to go, but seeing how far you’ve come can give you the motivation you need to go a bit further.
