It happens to the best of us... Just remember your goals, change up your plans, get a new training partner, set a goal, register for a comp! Anything to give it reason again until the love is back!!

it sounds like a symptom of over training IMO, working out EVERY day can sometimes be counter productive. If you really dont feel like going dont force yourself, and remember if your diet is good you wont start piling on weight!

Usually i stick on youtube and just watch some weight lifting videos or read some articles online. Hasn't failed me yet. Even if i look at some after a training session it amps me up for wanting to go the next time.
