“The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It’s your mind you have to convince.” ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Most of you have your resolutions in mind or written down for 2010. Most likely at the top of your list is weight loss or getting in shape fast. We all know that to achieve those weight loss goals or resolutions, you must be motivated. A lack of motivation seems to be the one thing that keeps us from moving forward and achieving our goals. Below are ten tips to help keep you motivated to exercise:
1. Know the benefits of exercise. We talked about many of them in earlier blogs. See past blogs on: mood boosting; healthy immune system; cardiovascular fitness; weight loss; and even increased sexual appetite.
2. Create your own “reasons why” list. Keep a piece of paper and pen handy for a couple of days. Jot down every reason you can think of as to why you want to get healthier, lose weight or get fit. You’ll amaze yourself at the number of reasons you can come up with. Below are a few examples – the list could go on and on, but you get the picture. Read your list often – it’s a powerful way to get re-motivated!
■More energy to spend quality time with family and friends.
■To be able to live a longer, healthier life.
■To fit into some clothes in your closet that you’ve been dreaming of wearing again.
■To not be out of breath when you climb a single flight of stairs
■To not be uncomfortable in a swimsuit
■To keep up with your younger friends
