Resting and relaxing are essential parts of our lives, but before you know it you can go from just taking a break to having no energy and losing your motivation. Everyone experiences a lack of motivation, so why not share our tips and tricks on how to get ourselves back in the headspace to get things done.

So here are 5 motivational tips to keep exercising;

• Make it fun. Find sports or activities that you enjoy, then vary the routine to keep it interesting whether it's a run, a swim or pilates or a yoga class ;-).

• Make physical activity part of your daily routine.

  If it's hard to find time for exercise, don't fall back on excuses. Try and plan at least 30 minutes every day.

• Join forces with friends, neighbours or others. You're not in this alone. Invite friends or co-workers to join you when you exercise

• Reward yourself. After each exercise session, take a few minutes to savour the good feelings that exercise gives you. This type of internal reward can help you make a long-term commitment to regular exercise

• Be flexible. If you're too busy to work out or simply don't feel up to it, take a day or two off. Go easy on yourself if you need a break. The important thing is to get back on track as soon as you can.
