Here are some good tips that will help you affirm your commitment to fitness. I know what it’s like: occasionally you’re going to feel like sleeping in. It can be a drag to leave all your work at your desk to go do some interval training. In fact, it’s the busy, stressful times that call for a fitness time out more than any other.

Then, at the end of the day, you probably don’t feel like working out after putting the kids to bed. Yes, I know that feeling well.

There has to be a way to make yourself go exercise even when it’s the last thing you want to do. I try to keep in mind how much better I’ll feel once the workout is over.

Plus, you’ll feel good about yourself keeping your commitment to your own self.

It’s awful to skip a workout knowing that you’ve betrayed your goals and your health. Besides, there are people watching me to see if I’m for real or not.

There’s no excuse for developing tolerance for slacking off.

You need to make up your mind that no matter what happens you’re going to do your fitness regimen. Some suggestions to help you follow.

One: Make it worth your while. If there’s something you want, only get it if you’re faithful to fitness.

Two: Then on the flip side you can punish yourself for failing to exercise.

Money talks, so pay for your workout session even if you didn’t attend.

Three: Keep a list of your goals and read them when you wake up and before you go to sleep.

Four: Force yourself to get started. Once you overcome the inertia, you’ll find it easy to get the job done.

Five: In your mind, visualize yourself exercising. Pay attention to how you start and how you finish. Then see how fat you will be for not staying true to your plan.
