Do you find yourself using exercise as a form of punishment?

While it is natural to think the over-consumption of calories or one too many missed workouts can be "made up" with an extra workout or added time to your workout this approach will only hinder your results.
Think about it...If you view your workouts as something negative - something you have to do because you have not been "good"...this sucks all the joy out of exercise.

Yes, I did say joy.

You see if you approach your workouts with an understanding of the benefits they offer - you actually come to respect and appreciate them.

This in turn causes you to WANT to exercise - which means you will be more consistent - and when you *stick to it* you get results.

Using exercise as a way to punish yourself will not help you make progress and simply will not last.

If you dislike doing something...how long are you really going to keep doing it?

So now I will ask you to revisit the reasons you DO exercise.

Focus on the benefits you DO get out of working out.

~ Increased Energy
~ Improved Mood
~ Diminished Cravings for Junk
