To Battle Depression
There is a healthier way to feeling better about life than taking a bunch of anti-depressants. Exercise should be fun and not feel like work! Find something that excites you. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, sitting around the house alone and being miserable! You owe it to yourself to feel great and be happy! So, get out there and find something fun; be it a 20 minute or 60 minute workout, you will feel amazing afterwards! 24 days to form a new healthy habit, who knows you may even gain some lean muscle and loose a few inches of fat!
To Feel Sexy
Take dancing lessons! This is a great alternative to convential forms of exercise! Great way to firm up in just a few weeks! Go for it and work it like the pros; in high heels, that'll really get your workout going!
To Stay Healthy
Maybe you are on all kinds of pills; for glucose levels, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and so on. Get off those pills!! Exercise is the answer!! Get up and move, find something fun! Kickboxing, dancing, bootcamp, swimming, walking, running.
For The Kids
Be healthy for your kids so they will have you around longer, so you have more energy to play with them, talk with them, be there for them! Not only that you will be setting a great example in showing them how to live a healthy happy life! Showing is so much better than telling!
To Achieve New Goals
I work out because I discover something new about myself each week! Sure, I want to get a flat stomach and look toned but that's really more a happy byproduct!
It's being able to finally touch the floor or my toes in a stretch, increasing my weights by 5-10 pounds or putting in that extra mile (literally) when I run!! I feel so energized and excited! I used to only be able to lift 5lbs doing shoulder lifts now I can lift 12lbs!!!
To Feel Happier
I LOVE the endorphins after my workouts!! A natural high on life is the best! It is why I work out, the best benefit of exercise, feeling better about yourself! After a great workout, you leave with the feeling you can conquer anything, an "I can do it" attitude!!
To Build Stamina
As we get older it takes longer to recover from a big night out with our friends, a weekend of hiking and climbing. Have a marathon you would like to enter and need to build your cardio up? Just a week or two will show great benefits!! It doesn't take long, it takes commitment to yourself! Arn't you worth it?
To Have Your Cake (and Eat It Too)
For those of you that know me, know I own my own cake studio and design wedding and party cakes! So, I obviously have a sweet tooth! However, I keep everything in moderation! I don't deprive myself of my sweets as I know when you do you end up having a binge day!! There is nothing wrong with having what we call a "cheat meal" not a "cheat day"!! I believe your body craves certain foods for a reason but with in limits! For those of us that crave to many sweets you may not be feeding your body the nutritients it requires to feel good! I work out to ensure my lfe is long and healthy as well as to look good.
