Motivation

I have noticed most people have the wrong motivation when it comes to working out.  They typically just want to lose 20lbs or fit into a certain size of clothes.  This is one of the main reasons so many people quit working out as soon as they meet their goals (or fail to meet their unrealistic goals).  While there is nothing wrong with setting short term goals, these short term goals shouldn't be your primary motivation for exercise.

Your primary reason to exercise should be to be healthy.  If you are working towards that goal it will never end.  Now you have a motivation that will drive you for your entire life.  You can set small goals like lose 5lbs or gain 5lbs of muscle, whatever it might be, but those are just short term goals on your path to being healthy.  Change the way you think and you can succeed!
