HOW TO PREVENT BECOMING A POST-RESOLUTION DROP-OUT - Part 2

Continued from 1/17/13 post . . .

Here are more strategies to help you to stay motivated:

Keep records -  Tracking exercise sessions and how you are feeling physically and emotionally, in addition to periodic physical assessments, can help you see progress towards your goals.

Learn - Take any opportunity to educate yourself about topics such as nutrition, proper form, warm up, and cool down.

Focus on benefits - Studies show that 70% of our self-talk is negative.  Exercise will produce better health, higher energy and self esteem, and improved sleep, concentration, and ability to handle stress.  While you may not see all of these benefits immediately, it will get easier over time.  Frequently reminding yourself of these benefits is essential for overcoming negative self-talk.
