1) do what you (most) WANT to do. Don't make yourself RUN if you feel like a lower impact workout today. Don't go to a CLASS if you feel like some alone time. Sometimes I just start with some core exercises (those are usually an easy sell if you don't feel like doing anything) and chances are, I'll end up doing more, but if not, SOMETHING is better than NOTHING.

2) Don't feel like you have to commit to a FULL HOUR. That seems intimidating (or sometimes - impossible!) Just get your shoes on and get into your gym and say, "I'll just do 10 minutes." (Again, chances are, you'll do more once you get there, but if not, 10 minutes is BETTER THAN NOTHING!)

3) I LOVE listening to podcasts and audiobooks - sometimes those keep me more distracted and focused than music. I will even extend a walk or workout if it's at a really good part!!

4) Put some pictures on your phone, mirror, and REFRIGERATOR (haha easier if you live alone, right?) of YOU at your HEALTHIEST, BEST weight to remind you that you CAN do it!

5) Try something FUN and DIFFERENT that doesn't feel like a workout - shoot hoops, play tennis, take a dance class, work on a SKILL (I've been working on handstands), or search on INSTAGRAM for "glue exercises" or something specific and try some new moves! (I'm a trainer if you want to check mine out - @natalieblueblue - I tagged some of my exercise posts as #dietbetspringleaning if you want to search and check some out!)
