Need some motivation to help you get back into exercising? Check out these 4 tips:

1) Start off with short workout sessions. You don’t need to start off with 45 mins to 1 hour workouts; you don’t want overexert yourself too soon. Try a 10 or 15 minute workout every other day. Make sure you switch it up: do some kind of cardio one day, and body weight exercises the next time you work out. Eventually you can work yourself up to 30 minute to 1 hour workouts.

2) Find a “Motivation-Dress” or some “Motivation-jeans”. I tell my clients this all the time. If your goal is to lose weight, buy a dress or pair of jeans that are a size or two smaller than what you wear, and work to get in that dress or those pants. Make sure the jeans or dress has a zipper: Remember: zippers don’t lie! Lol  

3) If your goal is to lose inches off your waist or tone belly fat, do crunches, sit-ups, or some other type of ab exercise while you’re watching tv (if you watch tv). The tv will take you mind away from exercising and you usually end up doing a whole lot more, because you mind is distracted. 

4) TBT pics. Go look through your old pics and look at yourself. Sometimes looking back at your old pics can give you that push to start working out again. When looking at those pics, ask yourself: Do I want to look that way again? Or do I never want to look that way again?
