Dont sabatoge your exercise success, find something you like to do!!

I  hear many people talking that they “Hate” to exercise.  To me this is crazy talk!  Exercise is not about going to the gym, running on the treadmill and pumping weights for hours!  Some may think that is fun and that’s great!  Part of a healthy lifestyle is just moving your body!  So when I hear people say they hate exercising, I tell them the “find something you like to do!”  If you don’t like running, don’t run.  If you don’t like to bike.  don’t bike.  There are 1000′s of things out there that you can be doing, the important thing is that you MOVE YOUR BODY!!  If you are one of those people that have used this as an “excuse” to not exercise, I challenge you to try something new.  Try Zumba, try hiking, swimming, P90X, kickboxing, dance lesson, boot camps, Hip Hop Abs (that one always makes me laugh!), or maybe a little INSANITY, the list goes on and on!  No excuses, just move!! BeachBody has been huge for me in finding a workout that I like!  There are SO many to choose from..  Weights, cardio, dance, yoga, the list is unlimited.  Love it, I get to choose each day what I am in the mood for!
So you find something you enjoy doing, how do you keep motivated?  There are several was to “ruin” your motivation!  One way is if you are working out for physical reason’s only!  What I mean by this, you work out hard for 2 wks, you don’t see the results that you would “like” to see, so you tell yourself “I give up, this doesn’t work”.   Another way to lose that motivation is to think that because you worked out you can eat whatever you want to eat.  Not good!  You will never see the results you want with this mind set. If you come from a place of “health” and not “physical” appearances, you will keep your motivation longer, start seeing results and feeling amazing, THAT will keep you going.
