Many years ago, while watching television (one of those prime time teen soap operas), I saw something that was so fascinating that I remember it to this day.
As a motivator for your daily weight loss workout plan, I don't think I've ever run across anything better. I can't remember the name of the show or the name of the actors but I sure do remember this!
One of the teens was an athlete. He played on the high school football team as I recall. It may have been basketball. Anyway...one scene showed him in bed, sound asleep (getting enough sleep is important to weight loss too - but that's a discussion for another day) and the alarm went off.
The vast majority of us hit the snooze button several times before we can work up the energy to get out of bed. Not him! With his eyes still closed, (indicating that he doesn't like to get up in the morning anymore than any other teen) he fumbled around until he found the off button for the clock.
Nothing very memorable yet, but it does get better.
As soon as he managed to turn off the alarm clock, he rolled out of bed. Be aware, that I am not using "rolled out of bed" as a figure of speech. I mean to say he literally rolled out of bed. He landed on the floor in a basic push-up position and then proceeded to crank out 10 quick push-ups.
Can you imagine a better way to get your heart started in the morning? Give this a shot, in no time it becomes addicting.
A quick word of caution. You don't want to hurt yourself by a falling off the bed. Just get out of bed the way you normally do, and then get down on the floor and do some push-ups.
I know you don't like to exercise. I don't either. The more you think about it, the worse it gets. It becomes the dreaded elephant in the room that no one will acknowledge. The more we think about it, the more we delay and the more likely we will skip our weight loss workout plan altogether.
Act like this kid and just do it - automatically - without any thought! Roll out of bed and charge through your weight loss workout plan - as just another part of your daily morning ritual.
Once you've done your quick 10 push-ups, add in some crunches...then add in some...well, you know the rest.
Before you know it, the dreaded daily routine will be over and you can spend the rest of the day energized and that much healthier.
