Harley's Daily Challenge

Playing Dress-Up
Let's be honest: Even the most dedicated fitness buff doesn't want to work out every day. We all have those days when it's much easier to keep sitting on the couch watching the Golden Girls marathon than to get up and exercise. If you can't entertain the idea of a workout, at least get up and put on your sneakers and workout clothes. Lying around the house in your gear and not doing something active will probably make you feel silly or guilty enough that you'll get up and get on with the program. If that still doesn't work, make a bargain with yourself to just do the warm-up. Often you'll find that getting started is the hardest part and that once you're done with the first five-minute segment, you'll be ready to move on to the next. Don't worry, you're up to the challenge, and Dorothy, Blanche, and the rest of the girls will be there for you when you're done!

The Rhythm's Gonna Get You
If you're having trouble getting motivated, there are simple ways to "get in the mood." Sitting around doing nothing? Lean over to the stereo (okay, fine, the remote) and put on some music with a fast beat that get you tapping along and bobbing your head. Are you dancing yet? You might find that you're ready to move now, and even if it's not your exercise routine, a little dancing might be all it takes to get you over that lazy hump. And if it doesn't, well, you still burned more calories with your "Yes, I Think I Can Dance" than you did sitting around.
