Top 10 Ways To Stick To Your Workout

6. Write it down

Record your fitness goals in a journal and track your workouts. Note the exercises that make you feel good and produce results.

7. Work with him

Sharing activities with your partner is a surefire way to stick together. Exercise releases neurohormones that make people feel happier, more motivated and less anxious.

8. Take a chance and streak

Adrenaline-spiked adventures like rock climbing will help you better manage stress in everyday life, according to a study from Texas A&M University. By streak we mean for you to see how long you can go without missing a workout. Then try to beat that record.

9. Reward yourself

Celebrate reaching your goals by treating yourself to whatever you want. Book that appointment for a massage, or take a long, hot bubble bath. Reward yourself now because sometimes that short-term reward might be the only evidence of your long-term success.

10. Show off

A brand new haircut or fresh-out-of-the box running shoes can be just the appearance boost you need for a great lift in the gym. And when you feel better about yourself, you’re going to function better.
