Body Perfect Fitness and Health!! 10.Superset your workouts Some recent studies are showing that super-setting workouts can burn more calories than one single set or multiple standard set workout. So if time's an issue (gee, there's a thought) try incorporating a super-setting system where you do multiple exercises in succession so that you can accomplish more results in less time. 11. Use a daily planner. You have important commitments scheduled into your planner, right? Volunteer work, doctor appointments, children's activities, etc. Where's EXERCISE??? It's as important a commitment (if not more) than your other activities. Quick tip: mark "EXERCISE" in your planner with a bright colored marker, so it stands out as a reminder to get your butt in gear.
12. Listen to audio books while you exercise. Self-improvement and motivation books are GREAT here. You'll feel twice as productive, and highly energized, and time will fly. As you are working out you are not only focused on feeding your body, but your mind. What a great combination to live by.
13. Reward yourself. It never ceases to amaze me how hard we are on ourselves when we don't accomplish, and how hard we are on ourselves when we DO accomplish. Whenever you reach a milestone, have something in mind, like a trip to day spa, new shoes or clothes (as long as it's NON-EDIBLE).
14. Have kids? Look at their pictures to remind you that you want to be around to share life with them, with plenty of energy. You don't want your 10-year old to be throwing you around house, do you?
15.Want to keep fitting into your favorite jeans? You know, ones that fit you nicely several years ago? Keep them. Keep trying them on to keep yourself in check to keep eating right and exercising.
16. Keep a journal of how you feel after exercise. Especially great workouts. On days you just don't feel like exercising, look back on good workout days for some inspiration.
17. See exercise as a stress-releaser. A simple shift in attitude can do wonders for your stress levels. If you've had a long, hard day at work, exercise is something to LOOK FORWARD TO relieve your stress and revive yourself.
18. Check out e-mail, chat, or discussion groups on Internet that deal with fitness, weight loss, diet, exercise, etc.
19. Have young kids? Use day care at gym - so there's no excuse about who's going to watch kids. Or, have a family member(s) or a friend watch them. So thereREALLY is no excuse for not working out.
20.Look in mirror. Sometimes that is all you need to trigger you into lean, fit, and energized mode.

Each goal that you set and reach is a stepping stone to your final targeted goal. You could keep a personal diary of your fitness progress and see how far you have come in your health and strength pursuit. I used to put pictures of ab shots on my refrigerator to help keep me focused. Now I also keep a watchful eye in mirror.

When I drop an inch or two off my waist I reward myself. And not with eating a whole pie or chocolate cake. Usually I buy some kind of hiking gear, camera equipment or clothing.

Make sure you keep a supply of healthy foods around you to help prevent eating some junk food when you do get hungry. Fresh fruit, nuts, non-fat cottage cheese, you get idea. When you start your diet don’t go crazy eating little to nothing. If you follow this practice you will lose all muscle you worked so hard to build. I cycle my carbohydrates and protein around my workout days. I eat carbs during my bodybuilding workout days and carb deplete on non-bodybuilding workout days. I will increase protein on nonworkout days. Here is a summary of topics above:

Establish small goals to achieve your main personal fitness goal. Use pictures to keep focused on your main goal. Reward yourself when you meet your in-between goals. Drink plenty of water. Always keep plenty of healthy foods around to snack on. Don’t go crazy dieting.

Make sure that you keep on right path and you will see your goal of abdominal muscles showing when warm weather returns. Otherwise your spouse may do like mine and start taking measurements for maternity clothes. Perseverance and focus will help keep you on track of your personal fitness goal.
