Hello Everyone-How is your spring exercise program coming along?? Hopefully, well, with some minor setbacks as we are, after all, only human!! How about a few more hints to keep you moving along. One of my personal favorite ideas to “keep on truckin” is to exercise with a friend. Make an appointment to exercise with someone, a time that works well for the 2 of you and try to be consistent with that time. You will want to see your friend and also you won’t want to let them down by not showing up for your set exercise time. If your friend cannot meet you, don’t not go, grab your Ipod, MP3, walkman, whatever and let your top tunes motivate you. See, it is all so simple. Here is one, how about setting your workout bag by the back door so as you leave in the morning, you are already set and you won’t “conveniently” have an excuse for not exercising. Going to the gym or to meet your workout buddy directly from work or from home is one way to make sure you get there. What do you think? Have I made it easier for you yet?? Ok, how about having a little more fun by setting up a reward system for yourself after you have reached some of your goals whether these successes are measured in inches, pounds, or consistency. Now, I am not talking of a hot fudge sundae or biggie fries, but maybe a new workout video or some of those cute little lycra stretchy shorts or top!! Whatever suits you, just make it an intelligent choice for your goals. More later, let me know how it is all going, going, gone!! Kathy
