Fit Tip

This week, add a Burpee to your regular workout routine.  Lower into a squat then put your hands down in front of you; kick both feet back to get into push-up position, then jump feet back in and return to squat.  Jump up as high as you can from that squat position.

Shoot for three sets of 15 reps daily!

Fit Tip

Weather gettting you down?  Too hot to motivate?

Set your cell phone to text you a reminder to workout on training days.  For even more encouragement, change your screen's background to an inspiring image (an athlete you admire, a pic from a snow skiing trip, you on the beach).

Stay Motivated

Put a handful of change or a couple of dollars in a jar each time you hit the gym (treadmill, elliptical, free weights, etc.)  After a few months of regular workouts, you'll have enough money to splurge on a reward for all of your hard work!  Think of the new bathing suit, skinny jeans, tank top, fitted T you've been eying.

Never forget the true reward is how great you look and feel!
