MAKE A NEW PLAYLIST:Load a new workout playlist onto your iPod packed full of adrenaline-boosting tunes.

PLAN IN ADVANCE: Plan out your workouts  a week in advance and cross them off as you complete them.

SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST: Start each workout with your least favorite exercise so you can get it over with and move your favorite exercise to the end.

MEASURE UP: Taking your measurements every couple of months gives you a clear end-date.  Tangibles are the best motivators.

SINGLE SET:  When you just don’t feel like working, gear up for one set of your favorite exercise. Chances are you will probably want to finish the workout once you’ve started. 

REWARD YOURSELF: As you achieve your goals, reward yourself with a message, or facial. Just make sure the reward is not junk food!

WRITE IT DOWN: Write a contract with yourself listing all your goals and deadlines, sign it and keep it on the fridge as a daily reminder of the promises you have made with yourself.

SWITCH THINGS UP: Change your training partner every few months. If you get too friendly with your workout partner it becomes easy  to slack off and cancel.
