Tips for Success:

  • Buy workout clothes you feel good about wearing.
  • When you are short on time or tempted to skip a workout, don’t! At least commit to 15 minutes. Once you begin, you will likely keep going.
  • If you plan to walk outside, research a few parks and trails nearby as the change of scenery will be nice
  • Reward yourself every week with some new workout tunes, workout clothes, a manicure, a scented soap, water bottle, etc.
