1. Remind yourself all day: Telling yourself that you are going to workout when you get home puts it in your mind and you are more likely to do it. If you know that you are already going to it makes it easier to get ready and go versus doing it last minute when you've already been laying on the couch for an hour.
2. Take a pre-workout: I know that a lot of people who work out do not use supplements however, pre-workouts can really change your workout. I like to take a pre-workout about a half hour before I go workout. It really makes me motivated and it wakes me up even when all I want to do is go to bed. I always look for one without beta alanine because that makes me really hot and I start to itch. Just be cautious when buying one as to what is in it.
3. Gym access: I go to a gym that has 24 hour access with a key card. It is important to have a place where you can workout at any time of night. I know that before I went to this gym I would make up the excuse that I couldn't go because I wasn't going to be home in time before they close. A 24 hour gym gives you the convenience of being able to go whenever is a good time for you.
4. Don't eat heavy: When I get home for the night I am always hungry. Instead of eating a huge meal that is going to make me tired, I eat a smaller meal that is going to benefit me throughout my workout. I'll usually eat two pieces of whole wheat toast with peanut butter on the top and a handful of almonds. Then, after you workout you can eat your bigger meal with protein to fuel your muscles.
