How do you guys maintain it.

Im a huge gamer but I would like to get fit but like every time I start it just bores me and I never really stick to it. Dieting isnt so bad but the act of maintaining a rotation of a schedule just puts me to sleep which is where my burnout originates from because im always thinking

>If I have the time to do this I could be trying out a new video game instead

>>76790700 (OP)
you need to hate yourself enough to have a good body
you need to hate yourself enough to sustain it

>>76790700 (OP)
That kind of attitude means you’re ngmi. You have to really WANT something to have it and discipline matters WAY more than motivation.

Discipline means you automatically do it without thinking. It’s like a second nature. If you have to make up some grand motivation scheme to do anything, you’re already ngmi

>>76790700 (OP)
motivation is for faggots. really understand that and let it sink in. What you need is discipline. Just treat yourself like a kid who has chores that they don't want to do. I started doing this in my late 20's and fully turned my life around. I would have a feeling like "meh I'm not really feeling like lifting today", and I would just tell myself "too bad you have to go to the gym if you want to watch TV or relax". Just be super strict with yourself and add on slowly. Start with just going to the gym on Monday Wednesday Friday; and go no matter what. If you're sick, tired, it's your mom's birthday just get your faggot ass into the gym. From there add on things like getting a quality workout, eating etc. That's all just discipline. Motivation is for lifting hard. As for eating just start tracking your calories with an easy to use app. If you want to gain weight add on like 500 cals from your normal, if you want to lose weight take off 500. Easy.

train the habit: find a minimalist program with few exercises and a low time investment, and do only that. As you get results, and enjoy the exercises, and enjoy getting better at the exercises, you'll naturally find yourself in the position of needing to to cut back on the amount of exercise you want to do.
if even getting your arse to the gym is a big barrier, calisthenics and kettlebells can be done right next to your gaming rig. Calisthenics you can do at super high intensity for very little time per week by picking harder versions of movements and narrowly cheating yourself through them. Kettlebells will take a lot more skill to get going with so they're satisfying and stop hurting you, but depending on your personality that challenge might be attractive to you.

if you can get to the gym, just do two sets of two barbell lifts and go home. 2 sets of 5 deadlift and OHP is Power to the People (5 days a week, add weight every session, do the second set at 80% weight), and these are easy to learn and very satisfying and take very little time.
again you don't have to marry yourself to these ideas and do only this forever. Just do a D-Day on yourself, get a beachhead for your invasion of fitness into your gaming addiction.
Obviously if you start with 15 hours per workout and 15 sets of 15 reps on 15 machines, you're going to right back to a gacha.

A friend of mine was a huge giga nerd twig and lanky as fuck. That nibba had a shit computer and he started curling dumbells on loading screens. He went step by step getting into autistic fitness because he was a huge medieval fights games and shonen anime fan. He didnt even aim to look aesthetic, he just larped his way into being a strong viking warrior. Dude is a mass monster nowadays, no roids, not even supplements, just shoveling food into his mouth, training, gaming and anime.

go from motivation to discipline to habit

once you get to habit its the easiest thing in the world

you just need to get motivated once a day

I go to a gym with a bunch of hot zoomettes in slutty little outfits. Just to be around them is enough motivation to show up and push myself every day, highly recommend

>>76790700 (OP)
>How do you guys maintain it.
1. train hard
2. see progress
3. feel motivated to train hard

Repeat in aeternum.
Thots also motivates me btw.

>>76790700 (OP)
Do it for Jesus.

>>76790700 (OP)
you don't mainain motivation.
you use motivation to activate discipline.
and use discipline to keep doing shit.
motivation fades when things are hard. discipline does not.

>>76790700 (OP)
It’s all about discipline man. It’s not talking yourself into it, it’s talking yourself out of it. There’s been a lot of times I had to talk myself out of it because it was storming so badly out that my truck would’ve gotten stuck on the way to the gym. If you can’t maintain a week of going, work on your discipline first

>>76790700 (OP)
What games do you play?

>>76795319

I never feel like that at all. I see progress and then just lose interest.

>>76797277
Gacha and card games mostly.

I'm a fellow depressed retard and the only two things that worked for me is.
1. Have the goal at the forefront of your mind always. For me jt's submissive gay sex and aesthstics but it can be anything. You also can't ever doubt that achieving it is a possibility.
2. Just force yourself. This requires you to sit down ahead of the schedule and dot down how much of what you're going, then you just painstainkingly go through the checklist. You havw freedom of will and at any moment you can decide anything.

>>76790700 (OP)

Motivation is a feeling, an emotion, and is therefore transient and shit at actually getting things done because other emotions can override it.

Discipline isn't an emotion, at least, it shouldn't be. Many think that discipline is mentally beating up yourself into doing a thing you don't want to do. This isn't good because it's mentally exhausting. What discipline should be is just the pattern of actions you decided to DO.

1: Motivation . "I want to accomplish this thing"
2: Resistance. "This intermediate thing is unpleasant and I don't wanna"
3: Discipline "I accept that I don't wanna, but I'm doing it anyway"

Making yourself want to do a thing you don't is nearly impossible. However, momentarily ignoring the unpleasantness of something isn't too taxing. So just don't think about the bad bits, and do it anyway.

You'll only work hard if there's something you want. Figure out what you really want then take the steps.

I want to be a ninja.

>>76790700 (OP)
If you're like me then you need to learn to do the bare minimum. If you only feel like working out for 5 minutes, then only work out for 5 minutes. I also have weights in my room so I don't need to do some gay 15 minute commute to the gym. Sometimes I get a huge burst of motivation and do more, but I focus on always doing the bare minimum at least.

You sound like a huge loser. Try to muster up the discipline to not play video games for a single hour lmao

>>76790700 (OP)
I play all my vidya on a treadmill these days. One of the cheap ones (do spring for the extended warranty) and a standing desk. I'm mostly a pc gamer, but I also have an adapter and some hdmi switches so I can hook up the Switch.

Even a fatty fat fat can shamble along at 1.5mph and still play a game.

>>76798432
>see progress and then just lose interest
Yeah, stick to playing card, buddy.

I have goals and have settled in on a decent routine and I have to do it. I'm not going back to how I used to be because I'd rather chew on a loaded shotgun than be that guy again.

Think for a second. Are you living the life you want to live?
You should do things to make your whole life better, not to feel good for a while. Feeling good is a side effect. Like good taste in food.
That's why you should play video games, too.
Not for something that can be replaced with something better and more useful, like using them to relax and socialising.
Not for something that puts it in the same place as drugs or surgically implanting a brain chip that releases dopamine, like fun and enjoyment.
Stories are usually shit, superficial and can be gotten better elsewhere. Like a book or the real world. Many even have 40 hours of filler gameplay that has nothing to do with it (just watch a 20 minute video, bro)
Not life lessons that need you to play for 5 hours every day you could use elsewhere, like mmo and diablo players say they have.
So either play video fames for a unique, artistic experience you can only get from video games (if you have the disposable money and hate investing on things with returns, or already have the hardware). Or to keep your brain in shape (puzzles, fighting games, CS deathmatch/aim trainer, etc. 30 minutes to an hour when needed, in an out).
The earliest you stop doing things that have no effect on the real world, the better. It's no coincidence all ex video game players talk of then like a crack addiction.
Get out, play sports, train your muscles once in a while, get a hobbie that needs skill, craft shit, make money, make friends, make kids, enjoy your family, build a community, feel a deep fulfillment on every thing you do
and be happy

>>76790700 (OP)
>How do you guys maintain it.
I rarely have motivation to do anything. I just forced myself to make it a habit to lift the fucking weight no matter what. Sick? Vacation? Not feeling motivated? Doesn't matter, I'm lifting the fucking weights because if I don't it's always a pain in the ass to start making it a habit. Use the autism to your advantage. You just need to get over the hurdle of making it a habit, typically it takes 4-6 weeks to establish habits. Also new vidya sucks ass most of the time and isn't worth the effort or money.

>>76790700 (OP)

>>76790700 (OP)
You have nothing to show for burning away the best years of your life in front of a computer. Strive every day to become better than you were the day before until one day you find something worth truly fighting for. Live your life as you were meant to or continue to burn away your years and simply exist as an monument to sloth and lost potential.

>>76801137
i won't have anything to show for that either though. what i'll have in this life will be hollow, and when i die it's gone and soon forgotten.
i met a productive, made guy. family, house, friends, in good shape, well-paying and stable job that he was good at. nice dude, had no real issues far as i could tell. he told me that if he was my age again, he'd run away into the woods.

>>76790700 (OP)
I'm so close to a goal.
Why quit?
Why second guess myself when I do well?

Just keep doing the plan.
Keep shedding fat.
Keep getting closer to the goal.

>"suck it up and grind"
That’s exactly it. And every other piece of /fit/ advice basically boils down to psyopping yourself into doing it. Different self-psyops will work for different people. So just find one that helps you get your ass to the gym. There’s really nothing else.

>>76790700 (OP)
This is the opposite of me. I have to be forced to play videogames because I will overtrain until I hernia out, and my focus is on strength training, not muscle/hypertrophy vanitas. I train so often and so much that it's harder for me to get stronger and lift more weight if I don't have some proper ludo or anime kino distracting me. If I could, I would spend 24/7 in life or death situations designed merely to break me or make me stronger; deeper and deeper Hells just so I can be better for my beloved Youmu

>>76790700 (OP)
i'm staying motivated by hating other people

>>76790700 (OP)
You gotta enjoy it. That's the part all the discipline fags don't tell you. You have to enjoy being locked in more than you enjoy your video games. If you're not enjoying it, change your routine until you do. I have a friend who's obsessed with fighting games and his whole workout routine is doing exercises between matches.
Personally I skipped cardio for years until I started watching anime and playing video games on the treadmill. If that's the kind of thing it takes for you to enjoy it, do it.

>>76798432
>Gacha and card games mostly
Fucking disgusting. Go play Devil May Cry if you haven't already. If that doesn't get you motivated to work out immediately, nothing will.

>>76802488
What is your SBD and OHP?

>>76802414

Exactly. If you can suck it up for a day job, you can suck it up for something objectively more fun that is also much shorter

>>76790700 (OP)
What the fuck man. Is that really the hierachy of your time? Fucking gaming is the most important thing to you in the whole world and your top priority for time spent?

A friend of mine recently said something like this to me, basically
>thinking of cancelling my gym membership
>oh really man? why?
>i just haven't had much time recently so haven't been able to go
>ah you been working lots?
>no still 1 day a week
>oh. what have you been doing then?
>playing dark souls with my brother

I had no good reply. I cannot fathom this mindset. Sort yourself out man. Grow up.

>>76794773
It’s actually the best advice anyone will every give you because it’s actually true…
Depressed? Do something about it
Unhappy with your life? Do something about it
Unmotivated? Motivation isn’t the key to success, action is.

You either wake up and decide to start living your life the way you want to now or let it rot away the rest of your years.

Make your choice, the time will pass regardless.

>>76802586
Sucking it up for a day job and sucking it up for fitness IMO are two different things. Especially if we are talking about doimg both at once. A day job already really eats your time adding workouts on top of it is just adding a new level of stress and taking away from what little time tou already have left from doing some 9 to 5

You need to not give a fuck about your feelings. You are a man, so it doesnt matter how you feel. Nothing valuable is fun to get, you have to suffer in good faith for everything. Its really simple. Also fuck video games, that shit doesnt get you laid, play with titts instead

How you feel does matter. Sure no one gives a fuck ultimately but if you ignorime them its gonna affect your behavior.
