Have You Stuck With Your New Year’s Resolution to Get Fit?

January 16th, 2007

January is almost over and already you begin to see people falling off the wagon with their workout routines. Five days a week is quickly turning into three and soon the average resolution setter will have long disappeared leaving the gym crowd-free once again.

Many of these people are lacking one simple element of motivation. They don’t have a strong enough reason WHY they want to lose the weight or get in shape. There is nothing to keep them going, there are no clearly defined benefits to continuing to go to the gym.

Do you have a strong enough why??

I recommend that you write out a list of at least 25 reasons why you want to stick with your workout routine and post it somewhere that you can see it.

Check out this great list I found for women, 25 Reasons to Workout:
