Simple ways to get yourself fit-minded (#Simple Sunday) - By Shannon

Are your workouts feeling like a chore?  Can't seem to motivate yourself to workout?  Here are simple ways to get in touch with your inner fitness freak.

  • Buy new workout gear!  Yes, this really does work.  Get a super cute sports bra, shorts, yoga pants or even a new pair of kicks.  Once you get in your brandy new workout clothes, you are halfway there!
  • Find fitspiration.  Follow health and fitness minded people on social media.  Go on Instagram and search for hashtags like #fitfam, #igfitness, #fitspo or of course #TeamFitini.  Watching other fit-minded people will get you engaged and excited about their progress.  Wouldn't you love to see the same success?  If they can do it, so can you!
  • Find a workout you really like.  All too often, people do workouts that they really don't enjoy. For example, I don't really like running - I never did and likely never will.  I do add running to my workout regimen every now and then, but if running was my only workout, I certainly wouldn't be able to stick to it for the long run.  I love mixing it up, so circuit training programs with variety work well for me.  Try different workouts and find out what you love.  There are so many options out there - classes at your local gym, home fitness programs, recreational sports teams - the choices are endless.  When you find something you enjoy, it will no longer be a chore.  You will actually start to look forward to it!  
  • Join a group and get support.  If you have other fit-minded people around you, your chances of succeeding are much higher.  Find a fit group where you can stay accountable for your workouts, find motivation & support and post the progress photos that you would never dare to post on your personal Facebook account.  The amazing feedback you receive will keep you pushing forward.  If you are interested in joining Team Fitini, you are more than welcome to join my private motivational group.
  • Take progress photos and measurements.  
    One of the best ways to get excited about working out is seeing your progress right before your very own eyes.  Do not rely on the scale, it will do nothing but frustrate you.  Things like muscle gain and water retention can make your weight change.  Take photos of yourself before you start and take progress photos along the way.  Also take your measurements so you can document the actual loss.  When you have a bad day, you can always look back at your photos and remember how far you have come.
  • Earn $$ for becoming healthy! It is true, you can actually cash-in for bettering yourself!  How amazing is that?  

    • There is a new app called GymPact that is an exercise incentive program.  The way it works is you make a "pact" regarding how many days a week you will workout.  Next, you set the stakes and decide how much money you will pay if you DON'T workout.  During the week, you check-in your workouts via your smartphone.  At the end of the week, the money from all the "non-exercisers" is divvied up to the group that stayed committed. Cha-ching!!
    • The Beachbody Challenge is another way to earn from your amazing fitness results.  After you finish your Beachbody program, you can enter your before and after pictures and be eligible to win weekly, monthly, quarterly or the annual grand prize.  Weekly winners get $500 and the annual prize is a whopping $100k!  Even if you don't win, you earn a free t-shirt to prove that you are a Beachbody graduate!
    • By becoming a Team Beachbody coach, you are getting paid to live a healthy and fit life!  You don't have to be a fitness expert or in perfect shape - anyone can become a coach if they simply want to help people become more healthy and fit. Many people start coaching because they are doing the programs themselves and their friends and family start to ask them how they are getting such great results.  If you become a coach, you can be the one to start earning on those referrals.  Click here or email me directly at TeamFitini@gmail.com if you would like to become a Team Fitini Beachbody coach.  I will be your sponsor and personally help you build your own successful at home business!  In addition, you will get 25% off on all Beachbody products.
  • Just do it!  The best way to get fit-minded is just throw your excuses out the window and get moving!  The more you workout, the better you will feel and before you know it you will be looking forward to getting your sweat on!
