There is no better time then today to
celebrate you. It’s the beginning of a new
year, which means you have the perfect
opportunity to start fresh. The first step
to a better tomorrow is identifying your
motivators. Sometimes, it’s hard to stay
motivated after working all day, catering
to the kids, or just trying to complete
daily routines. Exercise is the last thing
you think about during everyday chaos.
Despite what you may think, the trick isn’t
finding your inner enforcer, but rather “it’s
getting creative and tapping your natural
motivations,” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD,
a health psychologist and fitness instructor
at Stanford. What are these motivators? According to Fitness Journal magazine
the primary motivating factors to exercise are metal toughness, becoming
toned and fit, fun and friends, and stress reduction. Find out what makes you
motivated and cater it to your specific needs. It could be something simple
like not putting away your work out gear, investing in more workout clothes,
or turning your commute into a workout. Not putting away workout gear will
give your brain visual cues to wake up and remind you to stay active. Biking,
walking, or running somewhere makes exercise feel time-efficient and effective.
Investing in new workout clothes will reinforce your identity as an exerciser.
Whatever they may be, discover your motivators and start the year off right!

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random
text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC,
making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor
at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more
obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and
going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered
the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32
and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of
Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on
the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first
line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a
line in section 1.10.32.Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not
