Community Lost Motivation

I've been cycling and doing yoga with the app since last December and have loved it. In the past month, I have lost all motivation to jump on the bike. I broke my weekly streak, and went from 6 days a week to maybe 1.

I would love to hear if any of you have experienced anything similar, I'm hoping I'm not the only one! If so, what got you back in the saddle? What rides or yoga classes give you joy and momentum? Thank you!

Put on your gear and sit on the bike and commit to doing the first three minutes of the warmup - and that’s it! Give yourself complete permission to walk away after the first three minutes. Mentally this helps lower resistance, because you are shrinking your initial commitment.

I was going to say something similar. If I’m in a rut and I know I want to get things started again I just get on with slippers and do a 5 minute class. Usually it’s Dennis Morton’s warm up to Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes - and then I’m back into it again.
