Fitness Friday
Start a fitness log.
Log your hours, activities, and how you felt during and after your exercise. Log the music that keeps you motivated. Log the fitness classes you take and note the ones you want to try. Use gold stars or stickers if they motivate you.
You’ll find out what you love to do, and what you’d prefer not to do. You’ll be able to create your own motivating music playlist. You’ll see how often you’re really exercising (instead of what you think you’re doing). You’ll know when you started to lift more weight, and when you started to run further and faster on the treadmill.
Keep your fitness log as part of your regular paper or electronic calendar, or put it in a journal or a spiral notebook. It doesn’t have to be fancy – you just need to get started with it!
