Best Weight Loss Drugs

• If you don't have a set of dumbbells, use water bottles or even 16-ounce cans to tone and tighten up those arms.
  
  
• Schedule your exercise like any other "appointment". When was the last time you said "Gee, I have nothing to do for the next hour, I'll exercise?" Exercise will become a habit if you "ink it in" and then just follow through.
  
  
• Try working out in the morning. It is the best time of the day to exercise. You're usually more rested in the a.m. so you'll get a better workout. You'll be energized for the rest of the day and the best reason, it gets it out of the way - done - finished.
  
  
• Ask your friends to exercise with you. You will encourage and motivate each other. You'll have someone to talk to and you'll find the time passes more quickly.
  
  
• Get the most out of your daily duties. For a quick pick-me-up, walk a few flights of stairs at the office, take the dog on a longer walk, or park your car in the furthest spot from the market.
  
  
• Remember that participation not perfection is the goal of exercise. If you miss a workout or just can't get going one day, so what! Don't get hung up on it, just get back on track the next day.
  

If you have been working out for a while, but need a jump-start:

• Revive a stagnant routine and jolt your body into action, shake it up a little - or a lot. If you use the treadmill for cardiovascular endurance, try using an elliptical machine. Or if you are stuck in the same old step aerobic class, try taking a cool new class at your gym. Some of the hottest classes around are making their way mainstream. Boxing-based programs, indoor cycling, martial arts based aerobics and yoga classes may be your best defense against boredom, which is the number one reason people give up exercising.
  
  
• If you haven't been in the habit of warming up and stretching before you workout, make it a new resolution. You probably are pressed for time and can't be bothered with the extras, but it is absolutely necessary to warm up your body before any strenuous exercise. Start by marching in place for two or three minutes to get the blood flowing to your muscles. This, along with some gentle stretching will prep you for almost any activity ahead.
  
  
• Distract yourself if you find it helps pass the time. With an inexpensive tape player on your hip, you can learn a new language, listen to your favorite music, or catch up on the news. This is a super productive thirty minutes for your brain and body.
  
  
• Remind yourself how good you feel after you exercise. That great, pumped up feeling is your reward for doing something good for yourself. Remember, you only get it…if you do it! Don't Quit!
