I have come to realize that one of the best ways to motivate yourself to exercise is to sign up for an event. Do not just say you are going to do that 5K in April, but go ahead and sign up! This can be a run, a walk, a bike ride, a triathlon, a golf, tennis or volleyball tournament, a trail run, a fitness model competition, a weight training competition, a mud run, a color run, a midnight run, an obstacle run, a wipeout obstacle course, a fitness obstacle challenge and more! Choose an event that kids can do too and it becomes a family affair! How about a Disney 5K, look for vacation spots and it becomes a vacation to look forward too also! Have a charity that means a lot to you, look it up, there is a good chance they have an exercise related fundraiser.
Run/walk through the Disney park!
Remember, the goal can be to finish. You don't have to beat your neighbor, you have to beat your mind. Register today and then lace up those sneakers and get busy. I recommend that you choose a realistic goal, but one that is just slightly outside of your comfort zone... what will I choose this year? Stay tuned...
Google the type of event you are thinking of and your city... ready, set, go!
