When you go to the gym, make it count. The more intense your workouts, the more calories you burn and the more lean muscle you build. Keep in mind what your goals are while exercising. That should help motivate you in to giving it your all. If you are on the treadmill, don’t watch TV or read a book. Concentrate on hitting your heart rate and not the channel button. Dedicate your workout time to your body and not to catching up on your shows.

I love the feeling of heading to the showers tired and sweaty. I always feel accomplished and motivated to do it again. Doing something is better than doing nothing, but I always feel the difference between working hard and just working. You will always find time to relax. So when you find time to go the gym or workout at home, work hard!
