With our busy schedules it is hard to find the time to exercise as often as we like. We know it is good for us, helps to relieve stress, and makes us feel strong. But sometimes we have those days with no desire to get our exercise pants on and gear ready for the intensity of working out. This is when a little extra push will get us motivated to get up and exercise again.
Here are few encouraging ways to get ready to exercise.

-Rather than constantly workout indoors, go running, jogging, or walking outdoors and enjoy mother nature.
-Try a new sport to change the pace of your exercise routine. Consider paddle boarding, mountain biking, or kickboxing.
-Play video games that will get you playing and moving on the Nintendo Wii and Xbox Kinect. The key is movement.
-If you are short on time and are unable to spend hours working out, do some high intensity interval training (HIIT).
-Seek a buddy that you can go to with your progress and who will keep you motivated throughout your weight loss goals. You can also seek an online community to report to.
-One of the best motivators around is keeping track of your progress in a workout journal. It can either be written on physical paper or an electronic notepad anywhere you can easily record your progress.
-To make sure you are staying on track write down a list of your health and fitness goals and revisit them often.
-Instead of thinking of working out as a temporary answer to losing weight, view it as a long-term goal to help you live a longer, healthier life. When you do this, working out becomes a privilege, not a chore.
-Do not let your excuses stop you from living a healthy and fit life. Begin getting motivated to work out to gain from the benefits of leading a healthy life.
