\n<\/strong>Don’t just come up with your goals in your head \u2014 write them down, too. Studies show that writing down your goals makes you 42 percent more likely to actually accomplish them<\/a>. Keep your list near you or somewhere on display, and it’ll remind you what you’re working towards.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>“Cardio is king when you are trying to get fit,” says Meg Furstoss, MS, NSCA-CSCS<\/a>. If you don’t love cardio, try getting creative with what activities you do, considering something like rebound jumping on a trampoline. “It\u2019s a full body high intensity workout that targets your large muscle groups, like calves, quads, glutes, and core,” she says. “It also works to strengthen your balance.”<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Not only is working out with a friend more fun, but it can also help push you to work even harder. Studies show that\u00a0working out with a partner improves your motivation<\/a>, which can help you get to the gym in the first place, but it can also improve your performance once you’re there. Participants of a study who were paired with a slightly stronger virtual exercise partner held a plank for longer compared to when they worked out alone.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Sometimes life gets in the way and we don’t have time to go for that run, but start to view your workouts as a commitment. Add them to your calendar, and treat them like an appointment you can’t miss.<\/p>\n
