6 tips on how to stay motivated to workout, lose weight or reach your health goals

Do you have a hard time staying motivated to workout, to lose weight, to eat healthy or to reach your health goals? You are not alone. We all know the feeling that you want to start with your health goals on Monday again. But then one thing does not go as planned and you postpone the health journey to next Monday. I would love to share six tips on how to stay motivated to workout, have a healthy lifestyle and work towards your health goals.

1. Find the balance and don’t aim for a 100% healthy

Don’t strive for perfection. Don’t give yourself goals like: I will eat 100% healthy, I will workout every day, I will go to bed every day by 9PM. Try to find a balance that you can maintain and that is not too difficult. it is okay to sometimes have a rest day, it is okay to sometimes eat unhealthy things. Otherwise you are going to be so done with all the restrictions and hard work, that there will be a day that you want to let go of everything and eat even more than you did before, or never want to workout again. Do not overdo your health-journey!

2. Make achievable and smaller goals

Don’t make your goals too big. It feels like you can never achieve it, and thereby you will have a hard time to keep your motivation. Make smaller goals of your big goals. So if you want to workout more often, don’t all of the sudden aim for a daily workout. Start with 3 days a week, and if you reach that, then you can make your goal bigger. Write your goals down so you know what you are doing it for!

3. Celebrate your achievements

It’s important to make yourself proud and stand still by your achievements. Celebrate them! You can reward yourself with a new workout set, a dinner with a friend or with anything else that you would love to have. Take a minute to realize that you did so well, make yourself proud. This will keep you motivated to keep going, to not even talk about the great feeling you will have after achieving your goals!

4. See it as a lifestyle change and forget about a crash diet

Think further than just nutrition and working out. Stress, sleep and relaxation are as important to reach your goals and stay motivated. It has so much impact on your decisions during the day. Your body will also be more relaxed and you can feel and see the difference! The less stressed and more rested you are, the easier it is to make good decisions and feel fit in your body. This is why I focus on all these aspects as a lifestyle coach.

5. Surround yourself with supportive people

Surround yourself with supportive friends and family, people who will be your cheerleader and not hold you back from your goals. People who you can share your goals with and who want to help you along the way. Real friends will always be supportive if you choose for your health and wellness. The more you can share your journey, the easier it is to stay motivated.

6. do research or find a coach

It’s very important to know what you’re doing along your health journey. It will save you a lot of time to know that you are doing the right things to work towards your goals. Make sure you’ve got some knowledge about what you are doing and do not just follow an Influencer her ‘what I eat in a day’s’. Many people share tips and advice on social media and call themselves coaches. Do your research and ideally find yourself a real coach, with the same values as you, who will help you along the way. 

Do you finally want to achieve your goals and find that healthy balanced lifestyle and do you want some more help to stay motivated? I would love to help you and coach you along the way. This is why I give online personal lifestyle coaching, wherein I will take your hand and walk you step by step towards your balance and also work on a strong mindset, confidence and your self-esteem.

Personal lifestyle coaching with Nina was one of the best decisions I made. Fisrt of all she is the sweetest human being that genuinely wants to change your perspective/ habits for long term and genuinely cares about you , she personolise your workouts , gives you the most detailed feedback on your current lifestyle that you can go trough anytime, and can talk to her about anything, anytime . I noticed a change in how my body looks like very soon because her workouts are the most effective ones there are on internet and i stand by them for the past 3 years already . Everything that comes in with her lifestyle coaching changed me for the better ( i still havent reach my final goal so we decided we are gonna work on it longer but I really am excited because i know in the end we are both gonna reach the goals we set up 🙂 ❤️💕

Nina's lifestyle coaching is one of the best decisions I ever made. The brilliant advice and endless support is incomparable. Over the last 4 months Nina has been able to make me a more confident person and she does this in a way that is not only as a lifestyle coach but has become a friend and mentor. Nina acts as a 'flipper kast', always prepared and ready to guide you in the right direction without forcing you certain ways. I could go on forever about the positive influence Nina has had on my life!

Nina has been a constant inspiration to me long time before I started the coaching program with her, I was inspired by her lifestyle and her fitness! Her workouts helped me throughout the lockdown during COVID-19 since I'm an aspiring athlete and love to stay active! She continues to help with my relationship with food, sleep tips, relaxing, controlling stress and really finding a balance while being consistent with my workouts and for really anything that I need! She's extremely friendly, approachable and always there for me when I need her guidance. Thank you Nina for being you!

Naast dat Nina een super lief en aardig persoon is, heeft zij mij ook ontzettend geholpen! Ik maak me nu niet constant meer zorgen over mijn voeding, sport en vrije tijd. Ik weet nu wat een goede balans is en kan er naar terugkeren. Ik voel me nu zo’n stuk rustiger in mijn hoofd en zelfverzekerd in mijn lichaam. Ik ben er letterlijk een beter en vrolijker mens van geworden! Had het zonder haar steun, optimisme en vertrouwen niet kunnen doen! Ben haar ontzettend dankbaar en kan haar aan iedereen aanbevelen.

Nina dapper was mijn coach de afgelopen 3 maanden. Ik begon net met full time modellenwerk dus dat was wel wennen. Vanaf het eerste gesprek had ik meteen al een goed gevoel en konden we het goed vinden. Ze is erg enthousiast maar ook erg begripvol, ze luistert goed naar hoe je je voelt en komt dan met oplossingen en feiten. Wat ik persoonlijk erg fijn vindt dan alle andere vage adviezen. Eigenlijk heel logisch maar waardoor ik allemaal regels in m’n hoofd had kon ik niet goed verder. Hoewel ik veel geleerd heb, heb ik langer nodig dan 3 maanden om echt de groei door te maken, het kan natuurlijk met ups and downs gaan. Ik wil deze groei zeker afmaken bij nina dapper. Nina heeft niet alleen geholpen op het gebied van eten en bewegen maar ook op het mentale gebied en dan in het speciaal in modellenwerk, zij heeft daar ervaring mee en daarom is dat heel fijn om over te praten, ze begrijpt het echt. Ik vind nina erg meelevend en ook betrouwbaar, heb er ook meer aan gehad dan alle andere hulpverleners bij elkaar, dus dat vind ik toch wel erg bijzonder. Dit is wel echt een stap op weg naar langer termijn fijn in m’n vel voelen en daar ga ik voor samen met nina.

What can i say. Nina's coaching totally blew my mind! I started her coaching with the intention to lose weight and keep it off and ended the 3 months with a completely new mindset and a total shift of my priorities. Sometimes you just need to realized that you have to change the inside before you can change the outside. The great thing about the coaching is that Nina adapts the whole coaching around YOU and your needs which helps a lot!! Just a wholesome, caring and eye opening coaching. Thank you so much Nina for supporting and guiding me through the whole process!!!

Nina was an amazing coach and friend. She helped me a lot and gave me great advice so I can improve myself and get to where I wanted, which was at a balance where I don't feel guilty about what I eat and still free to eat unhealthy food occasionally. I am forever grateful for Nina and the help she gave me, she is like a friend who is just supporting you in your journey and is there to help you in case you need it. I feel so comfortable with myself right now and I feel like I can enjoy life even more now that I'm not constantly thinking about what I'm eating. Her workouts are amazing too, you can feel the burn in each of them and they don't make you bulky, which was also an important thing for me. If you're looking to feel confident with yourself and are trying to improve your health and habits Nina's coaching is a 10/10 and you won't regret it. Love you so much Nina! Thank you <3.

I just finished my second coaching with Nina, and it was just as enlightening and helpful as the first one. I wanted to target other aspects of my healthy lifestyle journey, and she really accompanied me through the whole process. Nina is a very caring and empathetic being, she really listens to your needs and gives you concrete tips to succeed while making you gain confidence and self-esteem.
