Today I discovered a fantastic motivational tool for exercise – getting flat-out, downright, no messin’ around, totally good and ANGRY with your body!!!  Just take on all those years of eating high-fat, high-calorie, low nutritional value foods while ignoring exercise, by working out like a crazy person.  Make a playlist of aggressive, fast-paced, no holds barred music on your iPhone (I highly recommend that Alien Ant Farm’s cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” be in there somewhere), and then grunt, groan, scream,and sweat your way through your strength training routine, followed immediately by your cardio (doing both on the same day has been a great choice for me – it makes the cardio not nearly as painful, and the strength training not nearly as soreness-provoking).  Man does it feel good to know that this hard work is a fight against the weight that’s holding you back from being as healthy, energetic, youthful, and vibrant as you could! » Read more: Going to Battle!!!
