at times.
for you, is it b/c too many workouts in a short period of time, or too hard of a routine, or any thing from your personal life?
the best thing to do i guess is step back for a few days, re-evaluate things, & get things rollin again.
good luck!

I had that happen this week... Tuesday I realized I was working out so much and dieting so much that I had started to lose muscle...
it took a day to figure out what I had done wrong.. make some changes and was back at it

I have a hard time because I am in pain a lot of the time when i work out--- i have to be very gentle and often it becomes tedious. I am also only allowed to do very limited weights, at a low weight.
I just remind myself that i need to continue at this level in order to build upon it and to aid in recovery.
I find that mixing it up by going cardio/weights/cardio/stretching and abs makes it a bit easier.

i'm not sure why i'm like this but i have decided to take a week off and see if i can come up with a new routine or something.
i can see how a guy might see his muscles getting bigger and that would make you want to do more.
i on the other hand have only been maintaining my figure for a long time and don't see results,anymore.
i'm rewarded only by staying the same.

I sometimes hold my breath for entire sets of 6-10 reps. This in turn gives me headaches for days afterward.
Perhaps in my next 20 years of gym time I shall attempt to stop that.

^ I'm too lazy right now to dredge up my Captain Obvious account.
you essentially are a narcissist to keep going.
My intention to workout to look good changed after the third time visiting the gym, it became something else.

When I burnout I try to find new motivation.
I buy a new outfit that would look amazing etc... Or I post pictures of peopel I would like to look like all around me so it is right in my face.

~ I switch around activities
~ I focus on a different body part when I go to the gym (then you have different goals)
~ I surf the net for new exercises
~ I watch the personal trainers help the clients to get new ideas for myself
~ Just recently I have taken up sprinting because I was tired of the same 10km runs I was doing.
When it gets boring and repetitive there is NO motivation for me.
