Think Back To What You Enjoyed....

Members Were Sparked

I found exercise to be a chore until I started to think back to the days (not so long ago) when I was thin.

It's all about attitude. I don't "exercise" but walk, swim & bike to relax and unwind - - and most of all have fun!

Change your attitude & you'll change your life!

Special Workout Time

To keep myself motivated and enjoying my workouts, I watch my favorite shows or listen to my favorite music ONLY when I workout so that I enjoy my runs and associate positive things with running on my treadmill. I think back to the positive things about working out when I feel too tired to run.

MORE INFORMATION:
This keeps me motivated to get on the treadmill and stay on while I get to enjoy my shows and playlists. After each workout I think about how much I enjoyed running while watching a show and that I feel great for completing a great run! The positive thinking keeps me going back day after day.

Don't stop yourself from feeling the joy.

It's okay to step back once in awhile and just enjoy the moment. Even in tough situations - it's important to smile and laugh here and there. Don't restrict yourself from doing things you love because they're "not important" or because you think you'll be criticized for doing them. Let yourself enjoy life even if you're not at the best place you could be. You only live once - make the best of it.
