Write down your goalsPut them somewhere that will remind you, try to make YOUR GOALS specific, achievable, measurable and put a time limit on it! For example, instead of just "I want to get fit", this goal might be "I want to run 3miles, none stop, by the end of June", or "I want to lose 1 stone of body fat by August for my wedding", or "I want to do 50 pressups within a minute by end of next month". This will focus your attention and you can pat yourself on the back when you have ticked off your goal! When you have hit your goal, write another to take you to the next level...
Variety is the spice of life!The over ridding reason people join a health club, then stop coming a couple of months later is because of boredom!

Use photos of yourself to keep you motivated! Take a photo of yourself in a swimming costume or underwear and place it somewhere you'll see it every day, this will act as reminder why you should be exercising. Then every month, take another photo and place it next to the one before - you will notice the difference even if the scales tell you otherwise! As muscle weighs more than fat, it could be that you are the same weight, but you look a million times better! Come back next week to get your next tip! Thanks, and see you in the gym!
