Motivation Monday

“Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.” —Jerry Rice

Fitness Tip of the Week:

• Choose a really good Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime show that you can only watch at the gym while doing cardio. Choosing a show like Stranger Things, will leave you on elliptical or bike for a longer period of time, waiting to see what happens in the next cliff-hanging scene. The key to making this work, is ensuring that you only watch the show at the gym. If you watch it at home, you'll no longer have the incentive to go to the gym to enjoy the show.
