Missed a Workout? Don’t Stress

There will be times when you won’t be able to workout. Sickness and schedule conflicts are a fact of our busy lives. But don’t let this discourage you and don’t stress over it and lose your motivation.

Approach everyday as a new beginning with a mental exercise competitive athletes use. When you wake up in the morning think about the benefits of burning calories, firming muscles and the flood of stress relieving chemicals you are going to receive with your next workout. Remind yourself of the feelings of invigoration and how much energy you will have to get you through your day.

Make a daily promise to yourself to stay with your schedule until this active lifestyle becomes second nature.
