218. How to Start Working Out When You Don't Feel Motivated with Shanna Missett Nelson

We all have days when we lack motivation for our workouts. It's easy to fall into a funk with your fitness routine. The good news is there are strategies to get back on track!

On this episode of The Fit Mess podcast, hosts Zach and Jeremy have an encouraging discussion about staying motivated in your fitness journey. They are joined by Shanna Missett Nelson, CEO of the dance cardio brand Jazzercise.

Topics discussed:


• Finding activities you genuinely enjoy as the key to consistency

• Letting go of perfectionism and comparisons

• Focusing on how exercise makes you FEEL

• Having a supportive fitness community

• Knowing your "why" and original motivation

• Recruiting accountability partners

• Allowing yourself grace on off days

• Taking a walk or doing simple movement is still a win

• Exploring different formats until you find what you love

• Looking back at physical activities you enjoyed as a kid
