Monday Motivation

Here is a great motivational quote by Zig Ziglar:

“ A goal that is casually set and lightly taken will be freely abandoned at the first obstacle.“ 

Remember, when setting your fitness goals, you need to be very specific.  Don’t just think to yourself, “I’m going to exercise more.”  Figure out when, where and for how long you’re going to work out, then write it down.  If you have a daily to do list you can put it there.  But even better is scheduling it on your calendar.  You will be able to see that you might have 20 minutes available Monday afternoon,  then 30 minutes on Thursday morning.  Putting your workout on your calendar makes it an official appointment, not an optional/maybe activity.

Finally, to really cement your commitment and make yourself accountable, find an exercise buddy.  Make your workout into a fun, social event and agree motivate each other to keep working toward your goal!
