MOTIVATION: working out doesn’t have to totally suck! “Ugh, I hate working out.” How often do you hear that? The answer: a lot. People hate working out. And as a result, we’re a nation of fatties. But maybe the problem stems from the root of what we THINK a workout is defined as.  Newsflash: Your workout doesn’t have to suck. You can be stuck in other life situations that are unavoidable or frustrating. But as far as fitness goes, you have the ability to make it fun and something you enjoy. In today’s world there are too many options out there to settle on a sad corner of a sad gym on a gross mat with broken down fitness machines surrounding you. (Ugh, I just got incredibly depressed.) From iPhone apps to at-home DVDs to workout classes galore, free class first-time trials, etc — there are too many options out there to be ignored. Being active doesn’t have to be defined as a gym-only workout. It literally means just that—be active, get moving, move your booty. And while you’re at it, make it something you enjoy!! It’s your workout after all…  High-res

MOTIVATION: don’t question. take action. You’re waffling, your unsure, you kinda just want to take a nap. Unless you have a hard and fast excuse for deciding to skip your workout last minute, you’re making a sad excuse. Don’t question. Just take action. You’re never going to always “feel like it.” We’re usually always tired when we first wake up or at the end of our day—it’s no excuse. There will always be a social plan hanging in the balance. It’s up to you to just commit to it and get your booty moving. Chances are you need an hour of sweat and mental release more than 45 minutes nap or 2 hours slumped on the couch watching TV. Just get up. Just do it. Just get moving. It’s not a choice. It’s a necessity. And you’ll never EVER regret it. Trust.
