Let me just start by saying, I am by no means, NO MEANS a fitness expert, or junkie or yogi or whatever you avocados call yourselves (I say this with love, I love avocados).
I am writing this from the perspective of a girl who exercises once a month, the non-avocado. If you must know the inspiration for this post, I woke up this morning in so much pain in various parts of my body thanks to my dear frenemy: Bob the Exercise Bike.
So here are some of my tips to start exercising again!! (if you’ve taken a long break)

1. Set your goal
Be Healthy I’d like to jiggle less in certain places please
2. Have a workout strategy or schedule in place
Work out at 8.30 am every morning Eat-> feel bad->workout-> eat to reward yourself
3. Motivate yourself with healthy reinforcements
Place motivational quotes around for you to look at
Chant ‘JLos Butt’ as you hike, plus, think about the Instagram pictures you could take when you reach the view point
4. Take transit
When you take transit, you drive less and walk more
Actually I’m almost always just making it to the bus stop so I end up doing cardio anyway
5. Get your boyfriend to do sit up kisses with you
How sweet Though, I actually meant Hershey kisses
6. Race with yourself
Treat every appointment you have like a race to the finish line. Run to your next coffee meeting, push those in your way and work those arm muscles as you hold you Starbucks from spilling!
Jokes over, but really, get your butt moving.
Do you have funny ways to motivate yourself? Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear it!
