Ready? Set? HEALTH BLAST OFF! I'm 20 years old and a college student. For a long while now I haven't been happy with my body. I don't feel as healthy as I know I could be. My goal is to lose some weight, eat healthier, excersise, and basically just be the best me that I possibly can be. This blog is meant to inspire myself and others. So if you choose to follow me on this journey of mine then get ready, get set, because we're about to health blast off~! /cheesy :'P

NOTE: My tumblr is pescatarian-friendly. :)

Send me a number in my ask box to help me out:
1 - drink a glass of water
2 - 10 jumping jacks
3 - 10 squats & 10 lunges
4 - 30 crunches

1. Who’s really getting cheated?

Sure, no one else would know about skipping out on the last Chatarunga. But only one person loses in that situation (hint: it’s not the super-ripped chick sweating it out on the next mat).

2. Change pace.

Circuit training, a killer combination of cardio and strength training, can help break the monotony of a long workout. Run five minutes, then drop and do some push-ups. Wash, rinse, repeat.

3. Picture this.

Visualize cheering fans or crossing the finish line to bang out one more set or lap. Or just go mental: Imagine this workout is the equivalent of the Olympic trials (no big deal).

4. Grab a pal.

Work out with a fit pal who will hold you to a higher standard. Stuck going solo today? Imagine they’re still there. After all, who wants to wuss out in front of an audience?

5. Break it down.

Set mini-goals when the going gets tough. This isn’t a three-mile run— just six measly half-mile runs.

6. Savor the pain.

“Pain is weakness leaving the body,” the saying goes. Pain is also proof that this workout is tough. Clearly you’re doing something right, so why stop now? (Just know when pain is signaling something more serious.)

7. Compete.

Whether comparing against the dude on the next treadmill over or your own time last training session, competition ups the ante and helps us forget about wanting to quit.

8. Remember the end.

That post-workout high? Yeah, almost there. The struggle of that final set won’t last— and when the workout’s over, it’ll be replaced by a much better feeling: pride.

Read the rest at The Greatist!
