BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Regaining Your Motivation

Gillian Russell has advice and inspiration for regaining motivation to improve fitness.

Gillian Russell has advice and inspiration for regaining motivation to improve fitness and health from James Exton, co-author of Leaner, Fitter, Stronger, and Gordon Peacock.

Where Has My Motivation Gone? A month into the new year, how are all your good intentions for fitness and health? Falling away? Need advice and inspiration to stay motivated? Why not let Personal Best help?!

James Exton, co-author of "Leaner, Fitter, Stronger" explains the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, why motivation wanes and how to find strategies to get it back again.

Gordon Peacock talks about the struggles he faced with motivation and how he's gradually got it back again thanks to a community "Get Moving" class which has turned his life around.

Seventy-something Stella Carrington tries out the new "Scottish Ballet Elders" video - aimed at making dancing accessible to the over 55s at home - to find out if she can get some fitness motivation from her peers ... in the comfort of her own home.

Friends Becci Harris and Victoria McIntosh talk about the difference a buddy can make in motivating you and how they egg each other to go the gym several times a week. 

Cyclists Sarah, Emily, Lee and Rickie from the Adventure Syndicate talk about how they stay motivated when the going gets tough and what they do to help inspire the rest of us.
