Need Motivation? Exercise with a friend



Exercising regularly is good for not just your weight and/or weight loss goals but also health and overall well being. Many studies have shown that regular exercise has mental benefits too.
It can ease depression, stress and irritability.

Look forward to your workout instead of dreading it

Think of Tomorrow not Today.
Always think about how much better you will feel after you workout instead of dreading getting started. Have you ever regretted a workout? I'm sure you have regretted not working out though!

Preparation.
Plan your day around an exercise routine. Thinks of exercise as a commonly as you would your shower, brushing your teeth and eating. Yes there are days you have had to miss a shower but didn't you feel so much better when you had the time to shower? Don't you normally plan a shower as part of a daily routine?

Alternatives.
As well as having healthy food options available to stop you snacking on fast/ processed foods. You should have options in case work, family or other obstacles force you to miss a planned gym session. have a quick workout prepared that you can do anywhere as a backup.
Keep Track.
Look at your calendar. Don't think about it as a daily chore but instead average out a low estimate of pounds you can lose if you stick with your plan and look ahead on the calendar. In two weeks you know you won't regret it, so think of a day you mark on the calendar, your difference in how you feel and how much closer you are to your weight loss goal!

Find Exercise Friends.
Many studies have shown having a friends to help keep you on track, motivated and inspired is a huge step toward regular and consistent exercise! An exercise friend will also help you look forward to exercise instead of dreading it!
