MOTIVATION: make today’s choices count.
Let go of all your yesterdays. Don’t waste energy on what you didn’t do. Push that energy towards everything you can still accomplish in the future. To get there, think of what you can do today. What can you do right now? What’s possible and realistic to achieve in this moment? Break free from a pattern of bad decisions. Embrace the possibility of today and actions you can take immediately. Don’t worry about what it might mean tomorrow. Or whether or not you’ll be able to keep it up. Just do it today. Accomplish what’s possible right in front of you.
You can’t change what you didn’t do yesterday. You can only do today and continue to do more tomorrow. Now get to it.

MOTIVATION: standing in the fire.
Things get hard. Answers aren’t always clear. You might stumble. You’ll actually DEFINITELY stumble. But that doesn’t mean you should stop pushing for what you want.

“There is no question that following your heart is scary. There will be bumps in the road and sometimes giving up may look like the only option. Neda chose to stand in the fire and out of the flames, Tough Love Yoga was born.”

MOTIVATION: balance.
Some nights you want to rage and got out, others you want to go to bed rebelliously early with a good book. Balance those nights and you’ll feel good about them both. But stay in every night or party and rage like crazy every night and neither begins to feel good. It works the same way with workouts. Run 5 miles every single day and it starts to wear on you—both your brain and your muscles. But change it up and mix in different kinds of workouts—workouts of various intensities and styles—and you reap the maximum benefits of both. After all, we our balance by reaching out in both directions, right? Your center with thank you.

MOTIVATION: sweat out the stress. Stress. We hold onto it. We let it grip onto us. We freak out. We get pissed. Better yet, release it so stress doesn’t stand a chance on you. Best way to do that? Get your workout on. Channel all that raw emotion into a workout. Maybe it sounds cheesy. But punching a wall sounds ridiculous, too. Spare your knuckles. Get your sweat on. Have the best, hardest run of your life. Get out of the house and speed around on your bike. End your work day with a kickass in the zone dripping with sweat cycling class, hot yoga class, kickboxing class, whatever kind of class you want!! Let the stress and outside negativity seep out of your pores. Sweat it out. Release it. And it won’t have any control over you. Sweat out the stress. photo via Move Nourish Believe

MOTIVATION: discover your WRKout style.
If you’re a runner, gym rat, yogi or or cyclist, you know what it means to find a workout you LOVE and just can’t get enough.
If you’re slogging through your workouts and hating it - the simple truth is you’re doing it wrong. Change it up. Find your style.
Lucky for us we don’t live it the 80s-tastic world of aerobics and thong leotards where the only options are either take a jog in your Nike “trainers” or join Jane Fonda in her leg-warmer-wearing high kicks!
We live in a currently fat, yet fitness obsessed society where there are, quite literally, at least 5 different kinds of workout options in a 10 block radius.
If you want to punch things there are at least 10 different types of gyms where you can do that in different styles. If you cant to dance around, there’s Zumba, hip hop aerobics, strip-aerobics, salsa dancing, the list goes on. Want to workout in your own home? Here’s PX90 and Insanity. Want to lift weights? Here’s CrossFit and 45 different CrossFit takeoffs you can do. Want to run? Long distance? Short distance? Track and sprint? Want to get zen? There’s hot yoga, fast yoga, breathing yoga, strength and power yoga. Want to join a team? Kickball? Dodgeball? Soccer? Pick up bball or football?
Boom, they all exist. All we have to do is try them out and pick one. Or pick five. Whichever.
In today’s world, there is absolutely no reason to do a workout you hate. Life’s too short. But the thing is, your life depends on it. #moveyourbooty

MOTIVATION: wake & workout.
What’s 45 minutes of snoozing really do for you?
You get some extra zzzs, probably have a weird dream and wake up all tired eyed and bleary.
What’s 45 minutes of working out do for you?
Wakes up your muscles, clears your mind, sweats out yesterday’s toxins, ups your confidence, calms your body consciousness, tightens up your muscles and fills your body with Vitamin D.
Point goes to the workout. Sorry, snooze. You’re just not worth it.
You’ll always regret that snooze. You’ll never regret that workout.
Now that you’ve conquered a morning workout, the rest of the day is easy…

MOTIVATION: one hour for you.
We fly around at top speed from the minute we wake up to the minute we check our email for the last time and hit the pillow. We make time to do countless things in our day. We squeeze in a million errands and appointments. Why do we not try as hard to squeeze in our workouts? Why do we not have time for one hour when we focus solely on our bodies? Why do we not have one hour to clear our minds?
Make it a priority. Make it your time. Do any kind of workout you love the most. Do it for you. Stop. Log off. Tune out everything else. Focus on you. And get moving.
