What motivates you during cardio/working out?

I usually have no problem being motivated while hitting the iron. However, when it comes to cardio I find it hard sometimes to continue and I was wondering what kind of things ppl use to keep themselves motivated

Usually the following keeps me motivated
music: I can listen to some rock songs that just get me so pumped up I can practically be enraged in tears while doing cardio. I can also listen to songs that make me so sad yet pissed at the world that I also have tears while continuing

telling myself that I can do anything for XXX amount of time. Once I start getting worn down I always say you can do anything for 5minutes,10minutes etc... this works pretty well

Looking in the mirror thinking how much I hate myself and I hate life. This can go both ways :)

Thinking of my goal and what I am trying to accomplish by working out so hard



I think some of these work a little to well though as I had a fucking awesome cardio session today(so I thought). Then I found myself feeling sick and throwing up in the fucking b-room. I think it might have been the combo of clen/green tea too but whatever, I absolutely hate throwing up


so whatcha got

Re: What motivates you during cardio/working out?

actually when I wrestled I ran 3 miles a day and it actually did make my entire body feel great. Now I figure I get all the cardio I need just wrestling and fighting...no need to run, but my health has gotten worse. I don't think I could run 3 miles any more

Re: What motivates you during cardio/working out?

I invested in my own cardio equipment (treadmill, elliptical) and have a room in my house devoted to that and my computer (where I am now). We have a flat screen tv and the room is right off the kitchen.

I wake up, take my supps, and go at it as soon as I wake up. The tv passes the time for me.

I dont do much cardio really. The last show I did I got by with hardly no cardio. I've always been on the lean side so I guess I got lucky in that department.
