If a friend is counting on you to meet up for that early morning sweat session, you’re less likely to skip your workout. Pick a workout buddy and schedule regular workouts together or sign up for group exercise classes at your gym. Bonus: a little friendly competition will motivate you to work harder.
You’re more likely to stick to an exercise program you enjoy, so think outside the box and find what you love. Try something new, like hip-hop dance, yoga-barre fusion or trail running. Make sure to mix things up so you don’t get bored—try different workouts on different days of the week.
Losing weight is a great goal, but if you set goals related to the workouts themselves you’ll stay more motivated. See if you can lift slightly heavier weights each week or shave a few seconds off your 5K.
