4 Reasons You Can't Stay Motivated to Work Out
1.You don’t have a goal

It is the same with workouts! When you don’t know what you want to achieve, even the smallest obstacle, has the strength to break you down, because you don’t have a reason, that could give you strength to move forward, towards your goal every single day… to search for new ways and methods to achieve it!

From that goal on, I have smaller goals- like handstand walking, but it is derived from my MAIN goal!
