We all have those days where we feel like we can not face exercising or motivate ourselves to go to the gym. I put on work-out clothes every morning. Typically, I eat my main meal in the AM. Eating makes me feel energized. I start training about a half an hour to forty five minutes before eating. Generally, I work-out in the gym, however if I am feeling un-motivated I will try something different like walking a scenic pathway.
Setting a timer to do something enjoyable before exercising can be helpful to you. After a training session, set aside time for a relaxing activity, as well. Remember, we feel differently – everyday. Do what your body can handle- today!

By adding variety to walking you can intensify your caloric output and create more fun at the same time. The more you alter your work-out program, the better your results will be. I really love walking on the beach because of the beauty aspect of it. The soft, warm sand will challenge your balance and thereby engage in many other muscle movements.
There are times when I am on the elliptical and all I think about is that I want to stop or become complacent with my work-out. When you start to meet exercise resistance a good strategy is to stay in the moment. A tried and true method of staying present is to target your breathing. For Example, notice how long your inhales and exhales are. You may notice that the air going into your nostrils feels cool, while the air on your exhales feels warmer.
Eliminating carbs goes a long way to slimming your belly. There is a reason why people call a protruding stomach a beer belly. Regular aerobic activity will also help to trim that problematic area. Exercising your core will tighten the muscles to give you that sculpted look. It is important, however that you train in a proper way. One way to learn proper form for core muscles is to take a pilates class from a certified instructor.
I started exercising to improve the quality of my health. I specifically wanted to drop weight and discovered it has many benefits, as well. By training and losing half of my size I eliminated sleep apnea, decreased blood sugar, reduced high cholesterol, and my acid reflux as well as eczema vanished.
