Hold on to that sweaty feeling!
We know it's hard! We know it's easier just to sit on the couch. And sometimes,
we know you're just not getting the results as fast as you'd like. But things
are happening, honestly! Muscles are toning, fat's melting. You just need to
keep at it.
Here are five quick tips to help
you do just that.
 Enlist a buddy. Misery loves company,
right? Grab your wife, husband, sister, brother, mailman, whoever - anyone who
can join you on your quest to get fit. If there's no one in the immediate
vicinity, log on to the Beachbody Message Boards. Tons of folks log on every
day looking for a workout buddy. Once you find that pal, you can use tools like
WOWY® to keep each other honest.
 Pick the right program. Far too many
people pick the program they think they need without accounting for their
personal tastes. Into pumping iron? Then don't do Turbo Jam or Yoga Booty
Ballet. Instead, hit it hard with Power 90® or
P90X®! Have a look around, talk to a few people, and pick
something that looks fun. That'll keep you motivated. Even if another program
might fit your goals a little better, there's no point if you're not going to
finish.
- Baby steps.
About three days into P90X, another 87 workouts seems like a lot. Try to get
out of this mind-set. Think weekly. If you get to Sunday, to your rest day,
you'll have accomplished a week of hard work. You can assess the next week
later.
- Along these same
lines, consider a lesser goal. Fifty pounds in eight weeks is rather
daunting. Start by losing ten pounds. Once you're there, reassess and set
another small goal.
- Nude up.
Okay, this one is a bit out there, but try to spend as much time with your
clothes off as possible. If you still have a long way to go, it'll serve as a
reminder of the things you're striving to change. If you're well on your way,
it'll remind you of all you've accomplished, especially when you walk by a
mirror and think, "Who's that hottie?" Sometimes a little narcissism is a good
thing. That said, you might want to strap a few of your bits down when actually
working out.
