Fitness Motivations



So many people ask how I stay motivated or what motivates me to work out as much as I do.  Overall, health and wellness is what motivates me.  Nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels. Life is so much easier on your body when it is working correctly.  However, sometimes you need a little extra boost to get your ass up and moving.  

Setting (attainable) goals is another good option.  In my case, completing a triathlon seemed like a good one for me to keep me motivated.  For others, it may be learning a new sport, running a 5K, 10K, losing 10 lbs, etc.  Any goal is a good goal, but my only stipulation is to make sure it is a realistic expectation.  

That being said, sometimes putting up a little reminder around your house every once in a while can help you stick to that path.  Here are a few images I found to help you stay motivated....and some just to make you laugh :)


You can be young....
Old...

Social Commentary...
Don't get me started on lazy Americans!

You must compliment exercise with a good diet!
You cannot out-train a bad diet!


Childhood obesity...another big problem in America


Enough said.


Find your motivation.  Otherwise there is a lot of wasted time!


Well said.  You don't have to be a marathoner to exercise.
Exercise is for every ability level and is imperative for health.

Another social commentary...



Genious!
