\u201cOne more day, one more rep, a little stronger than the day before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2018 Gold\u2019s Gym Challenge<\/a> winner Emily Chavez<\/a> used this fitness motivation mantra to see all 12 weeks of her journey through. She knows how it can get physically, mentally and emotionally more difficult as the weeks go on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe fatigue and pain are fleeting,\u201d Chavez says. \u201cThe feelings of pride, self-confidence, self-love and unimaginable accomplishment will be etched in your heart and mind forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n One day at a time was David Le\u2019s<\/a> winning perspective, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust do today\u2019s workout and eat today\u2019s healthy meals and consider that a challenge won,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le also had to fight against comparing himself to others in the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe best tip I received was that everyone\u2019s too busy with their own workout to have time to judge anyone else,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find fitness motivation in your progress<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2018 Challenge overall female winner Priscilla Harris<\/a> used progressively harder moves \u2014 and smaller clothes \u2014 as part of her fitness motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen I did something I couldn\u2019t do the week before, or when I bought clothes I couldn\u2019t fit in before, I felt amazing,\u201d Harris says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the weeks went on, she also reflected on the beginning of her journey to help her get to the finish line, something she recommends to everyone pursuing their fitness goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRemember why you started,\u201d Harris says. \u201cCommitment is doing something you said you were going to do, long after the mood you said it in is gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n That attitude is shared by 2018 Challenge winner Paul Breitenbach<\/a>, who completed the 12-week journey together with his wife, Christine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe just kept saying, \u2018We can do this!\u2019\u201d he says. \u201cYou have to not think about quitting and continue the fight. The rewards will overshadow and outweigh any adversity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve got this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t beat yourself up if you are struggling to find your fitness motivation. Turn to your workout buddy for help \u2014 they\u2019re ready to push you to reach your maximum potential, Breitenbach says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGiving up would be the worst mistake,\u201d says Jessica Wise<\/a>, another 2018 Challenge winner. \u201cIt\u2019s OK to have a bad week. Just get back up and try again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bottom line? Whatever you do, don\u2019t give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI already knew what it felt like to quit,\u201d Harris says. \u201cI wanted to see what would happen if I did not give up. Set a plan and commit to the plan, and you\u2019ll love the outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n See these success stories for more fitness motivation and keep up with us on social media:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Home Sweet Home at Gold\u2019s Gym<\/b><\/a> <p>Here\u2019s what motivated past Challenge winners during their journeys \u2014 and their advice to help you get to the finish line of yours.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":6366,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_post_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[204,103,117,146,118,95,119],"class_list":["post-3269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-12-weeks","tag-community","tag-goal-setting","tag-golds-gym-challenge","tag-guidance","tag-tips","tag-transformation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3269"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9641,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3269\/revisions\/9641"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldsgym.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
