Go Workout!

The hardest part of working out is often just GETTING STARTED.

We all have days where time just isn't our friend and the last thing we want to do is find the time to get in our workout.

It doesn't matter what you do or when you do it, JUST GO DO IT!

Here are 5 tips to help motivate you and stay on track with your workout:

1. Think about the "AFTER"

How will you feel after the workout? I always have about a million times more energy after any workout.  I always get the "runner's high" after a run.  You will feel great about yourself and your body will thank you in return!

2. Schedule it and don't miss the appointment

We wouldn't miss our doctor appointments or meetings with our boss.  Well, we are the boss of our own body, so don't miss your workout appointment!  A workout that is an hour is 2% of your day.  A workout that is a half hour is 1% of your day. You can spend the other 98%-99% of your day on all the other "to-dos" in your life.  Check off your workout appointment!

3. Relieve stress

I've always believed that working out is the cheapest form of therapy.  I know it truly is for me.  My runs clear my mind.  My PiYo workouts push me and make me realize I can do anything I set my mind to.  Your workout can WORK OFF and SWEAT OUT your life stresses!!!

4. Remember your goals

Very important!!! You've established your goals ... so remember what they are!!! I will sometimes take sticky notes and post them in places I know I will see them to remind myself that I'm working on my goals one step at a time.  Make it a priority to reach your goals!!!

5.  Visualize the achievements!

Close your eyes.  Take some time to visualize the person you want to be.  Visualize your body the way you want it to look and the feeling of amazing health.  Maybe you fit into some new skinny jeans.  Maybe you are full of energy.  Maybe you have no more arm jiggle.  Maybe you have dropped a bad eating habit.  Now, open your eyes ... are you ready to rock and take a step toward what you just visualized?
