I have worked out 3-5x/week for the last ~12 years. Through college, a job, getting married, the pandemic. I spent a small fortune in 2020 getting a really solid home gym setup because I was so dedicated. However this entire year has been full of injuries and now I am out of the habit and not motivated. At the start of the year I was recovering from COVID, then I pulled my back and it kept me from weights for 2 months. Then I sprained/fractured my ankle and kept me from doing legs for 6 weeks, now I have a shoulder injury that's almost healed but not quite 100% that kept me from doing upper body for a month. I feel like this whole year has just been a setback, anything other than biking is so difficult to get started for some reason. I always am glad when I am able to actually go and get a good workout in, but I have lost almost all of my motivation to actually put in the effort at this point.
Can anyone please give me some advice on things I can try to get some motivation back?
Edit: Thank you all for the kind and helpful comments. I think I need to just suck it up and force myself to keep going and get back on my routine as much as possible. Thank you all again for reading and commenting!
