What Keeps You Walking?

Staying motivated is one of the toughest parts of any exercise program. For everyone, there will be days when it is hard to get your body moving: not enough time, too tired, not enough energy.

Plan ahead for these days by creating a "Motivation to Move" list. Think about all the reasons you exercise and want to be healthier. Write them down, and keep the list where you can see it - your desk, your purse, your fridge, in your workout bag. Look it whenever you need to stoke you feel yourself relapsing into couch-potato mode.

Here's some of my reasons to keep moving:
1) Smaller pants
2) To set a healthy example for my children, especially my daughter
3) Because I don't want to give up chocolate
4) My workout partner is counting on me
5) To have more energy
6) To release frustration and stress
7) It's my "alone time"
