You know that some form of regular exercise is good for your health – a longer life, stronger muscles, better posture, improved sleep – but while some can’t wait to get a workout in, others hate to hit the gym.
It’s never too late to get moving, you just need the motivation! But where to find it? There’s a few options:
Try work out with others – it’s tough to go it alone, but a friend can lend a helping hand, and make you want to keep a schedule, so you don’t let them down.
Give yourself some confidence – if you keep positive thoughts and beliefs in your head during a workout, studies show it’ll make it feel less strenuous, and you’ll be more apt to continue.
Make sure you’ve got your headphones – music really helps! Listening to high-energy, up-tempo songs promotes a longer workout, that feels like a breeze.
And finally – grab a pink beverage! Scientists have found that if your workout beverage is dyed pink, the color produces feelings of pleasure, a feel-good effect that improves performance and endurance.
So, add some red food dye to your water and get moving!
