It\u2019s been too long since I\u2019ve given you some tough love. I can sense that you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any New Year\u2019s resolutions<\/a> have been mostly abandoned and you\u2019re not yet thinking about strolling down the beach this summer. It\u2019s easy to peter out around this time of year, but nope, I won\u2019t let you. Here are 10 reasons to work out \u2026 right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be calmer.<\/strong>  Get those endorphins<\/a> rushing all over and you\u2019ll feel so much better. A little cardio, a little pushing iron, how about a yoga or Pilates class? Once you\u2019re done, the little things won\u2019t bother you at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll feel sexier.<\/strong>  Fitness breeds confidence and a confident person is sexy! Pull your shoulders back, walk with a little sass, and just feel darned good about who you are. Your clothes will fit better, heads will turn as you glide by, and yep, you\u2019re sexy as hell. Embrace it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll think better.<\/strong>  Several studies show that cognitive abilities improve with regular exercise. You\u2019ll see job performance improve, problem solving will be less of a struggle, and this will just make your whole life a lot easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be healthier.<\/strong>  Less colds<\/a>! Anything you catch will linger only briefly. You\u2019ll have more energy \u2026 generally speaking, you\u2019ll just feel a whole lot better on a day-to-day, consistent basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll sleep better.<\/strong>  How many days a week do you struggle to get a good night\u2019s sleep<\/a>? Regular exercise can really help you snooze like a baby, and sleep is so restorative to all<\/em> of our body\u2019s systems. It\u2019s crucial for our day-to-day functioning. Just remember to stop exercise at least three hours before bedtime<\/a> or it could actually keep you awake longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be happier.<\/strong>  Regular doping of endorphins is totally legal and actually encouraged! Yes, regular exercise promotes feelings of happiness and well-being. You\u2019ll be gaining confidence in all areas of your life when you regularly exercise and I don\u2019t need to tell you this is a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll eat less.<\/strong>  As long as you ditch the idea that more exercise = more treats. If you listen to your body, you\u2019ll find yourself craving sugars and starches less and reaching for veggies<\/a> and water more. This is part of what I call the upward spiral of one good thing leading to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your skin will glow.<\/strong>  Regular perspiration and increased heart rate helps to keep the skin refreshed. You\u2019ll hardly have to do anything before you leave in the morning. You\u2019ll declog pores, improve circulation, and generally get that lovely glow of health that we all find so appealing (think back above to you\u2019ll feel sexier).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be stronger.  <\/strong>A flight of stairs won\u2019t pose a problem, lifting grocery bags becomes a breeze, all the daily activities will be easier, and you\u2019ll be amazed at your own strength. The feeling of satisfaction as you bang out pushups from your toes or push through a plateau while the guy next to you struggles? It\u2019s a great self-esteem boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have better sex<\/strong>.  Leave the lights on! Romp with your partner and have a bloody good time! You\u2019ll be stronger, you\u2019ll feel sexier<\/a>, your skin will glow, your endurance will be longer. Your lover will want to be with you and make you happy. Let them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about you? What would you add to this list? Which one of the above is your favorite?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I personally have to go with I feel sexier \u2026 Of the 10 reasons to work out, that<\/em> one definitely gives me the biggest confidence boost. The only downside? I want to buy more  sexy clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
