10 Tips for Keeping Your Workout Schedule - Part 2


Avoid danger zones : Many things can distract even the most hardened of exercisers: your favorite TV show, the lure of a night on the town with friends, or a neighbor popping in for an impromptu chat. Learn to recognize your particular "danger zones" and take steps to negotiate your way around them.


Buy figure-flattering workout clothing : You don't want to look like a sack of potatoes when you're exercising. Spend money on well-designed, flattering and supportive gym clothes; you'll be more motivated to work out.


Have a specially designated drawer for fitness gear : When you're in hurry, the last thing you want is to be hunting around for your gym socks. Keep all your exercise clothes in a special drawer so you can find them quickly.


Leave your gym bag by the door : Leaving your gym bag by the door serves two purposes: one, so you always know where it is; and two, it serves as a gentle reminder that an exercise session might be due.


Put your gym clothes straight into the wash : And last but not least, when you get back from the gym or pool, put your dirty clothes straight in the washer. Nothing is guaranteed to put you off exercising more than having to rummage around in the laundry basket for a semi-clean pair of gym socks !
