Here's How Chris Pratt Gets Motivated to Work Out

"Okay, sweat complete," he said. "Whew, Im pale, my spray tans wearing off. I had a realization today that I wanted to share with you guys in this vein of motivating one another... It was 38 minutes and 56 seconds into this workout on the treadmill, just walking, uphill, I have a bit of a back issue Im working through. Right now Im just walking uphill. About 38 minutes in, it clicked in my mind that I actually wanted to be here."

"Which is to say that you can make that decision to go motivate yourself and do the work, but sometimes the work come first. Sometimes you start the work when you dont want to do it. And then the want comes after the physical. You can get stuck in a hole where you just dont want to work out and you never do. Day becomes a week, week becomes a month, month becomes a year, and year becomes years, and you dont feel good about it. And you dont feel good about it. And so I challenge you if youre in that state where you dont want to do it, go find the want. It may be 38 minutes into your workout. Once you get it and you feel it, your whole days different."

On the theme of motivating each other, Pratt ended by quoting Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
