Motivation Monday May 27: 27 Great Reasons to Weight Train Today

  1. It’s the first step toward getting the body you really wantMemorial_Day_2012_freecomputerdesktopwallpaper_1600
  2. You will be that much closer to turning into your childhood superhero
  3. You wouldn’t skip out on brushing your teeth today would you—eeeewww.
  4. You want to keep the commitment you made to yourself to get healthy.  Breaking commitments is bad for your self-esteem.
  5. If you blow off your workout today you will be more likely to blow off your workout tomorrow and the hardest thing is to get back on the wagon once you have fallen off…so don’t even go there. Don’t think—just shrink!
  6. You will get weaker, fatter, and uglier if you don’t.
  7. Somewhere deep inside you will be loathing yourself if you don’t
  8. It’s the best natural anti-depressant in the world
  9. You don’t want to be one of those people that don’t work out ,do you?
  10. It’s the safest way possible for you to get rid of that pent-up aggression you have—better for everyone involved.
  11. Cuz’ you are one sexy Mamma when you train and you know it
  12. You will be so much more productive the rest of the day if you train first, so telling yourself you don’t have time is another way of saying you just don’t want to train.
  13. You don’t want to wimp out on the better existence you are planning for yourself
  14. It’s a great escape from your problems
  15. Its cheaper than therapy and often more effective
  16. Because procrastinating and thinking about all the reasons not to takes more time and is much harder than actually working out
  17. Because you are just gonna go in and lift a few light sets, or hitting play on that dvd or drive in and do the first 15 minutes of class ..and within moments you will find yourself giving it your all.
  18. You will sleep better
  19. You will probably eat better after working out hard
  20. You will have more energy
  21. You will be better able to protect yourself and your loved ones if some unexpected bad stuff should happen
  22. You will age more beautifully
  23. It’s awesome to know you are stronger, faster, and healthier now at 42 than when you were 24.
  24. You will have more better sex –‘nuf said
  25. Because right now there’s someone too sick, too paralyzed, or too dead to train. Somewhere someone’s wishing they could train. Give it your all today because you are grateful you aren’t them.
  26. It’s a great life insurance policy against diabetes, heart disease, cancer and many other yucky things.
  27. There’s some Navy Seal who trains his butt off so you can speak your mind. Go to the weight room with gusto for that guy/gal out of gratitude.
