Keep it up through the Holidays!

While exercise shouldn't feel like a chore -- it sometimes does. Especially this time of year we often slack because the to-do list is simply too long! Here are a few ways to make exercise top the list now and into the new year.

1. Start Slow
We're all guilty of throwing ourselves into some new fad workout; but then finding ourselves bored and itching for something new, again and again.

2. Reasonable Goals
Going from zero to 60 is never a solid way to start a new routine, mainly because you'll burn yourself out fast. Setting a reasonable goal is the way to go and you won't be disappointed.

3. Designate Certain Days and Times
Plan to exercise at a certain time each day so it becomes a part of your schedule. If you don't set up some sort of plan, it's easy to back down and procrastinate. Do you want to back down on your health?

4. Change It Up
Doing a steady 45 minutes on the elliptical can get boring and do less and less for you – switch it up! You don't want to hit a fitness plateau and then give up all together.

5. Reward yourself
Reward yourself for reaching a goal by getting a massage or a mani/pedi! (Remember #2 Reasonable Goals)
