Be KIND to yourself: It's not uncommon for people to workout because they dislike something about their physical bodies or are embarrassed about their physical fitness. Choosing to workout out out of love for yourself and your body and focusing on the good working out as being an act of kindness (helping increase your energy, reduce your stress, and keep your body working optimally) will keep your motivation sky high and make working out more pleasurable.

Move with JOY: A lot of people have it ingrained that exercise has to feel miserable. If you're doing something you don't enjoy, this could very well be true, but we can promise you right now that you won't stick to a plan that you don't enjoy. Choose workouts that make you feel good --whether that's a salsa class, a yoga flow, or a sweaty workout.

Change "I can't" to "I'll try": How many times have you told yourself you "can't" do something before even giving it a try? We often underestimate ourselves. Make a pledge that you'll give everything a go at least once. Worst case, you scale back and work your way up to something that's too challenging for you right now!
