Set yourself up for success

Tips to keep you on track.

​ 1. Prepare Everything You Need in advance. Get your workout clothes ready the night before so that they are visible when you wake up. Fill up a water bottle and set out a protein bar or anything else you’ll need so that you are ready to go without having to think about it. ​ 2. Book It in Your Calendar Google Calendar is a life saver. If you have a busy schedule, you'll need to incorporate your workouts into that schedule. Treat your workouts as important business meetings that absolutely CANNOT be missed. ​ 3. Focus on the exercises that you love & make note of the ones that you are less excited about. Everyone's body responds differently to different exercises. It is important that you get to know what feels good & what does not. The more you enjoy your workouts the more likely you will be to stay committed. ​ 4. Exercise First Thing in the Morning Studies show that women tend to be more energized in the morning. When you’re exhausted after a long day of work, you’re less likely to feel motivated to hit the gym. If it’s possible within your schedule, exercise first thing in the morning to create a more consistent workout routine. You will feel so much better for the rest of the day. ​ 5. Reward Yourself Choose something to look forward to after you exercise each week. Get a pedicure, grab lunch with a friend or watch your favorite t.v. show. The more you cultivate a positive relationship with exercise, the more likely you will stick with your new routine.
