You can look and feel great in just 12 minutes a day!

Working out is a much needed aspect of your functional fitness plan. However, if you lack the motivation to stick to your exercise routine, you're likely to falter and eventually stop working out completely. Exercise can be fun if you learn the right ways to do it. Follow these tips for greater success!
 
Play some tunes while you exercise. All cultures enjoy music. It speaks to us at a basic level, and the right music can be an excellent addition to your exercise regime. Music really gets you into the exercise and makes it feel more like a night at the club than a boring workout. Moving around in a fun way keeps your mind off the exercise you are doing and allows you to work out a little longer.
 
Buddying up while exercising is a great way to stay motivated and get in shape. The time will fly, and you will find yourself forgetting about your fitness problems if you have a friend to talk to while working out. You will enjoy working out more when you do it with a friend.
 
To keep your fitness routine stimulating, try a workout based on a video game. Video games can keep your mind off of the fatigue that can build up during exercise. You will not notice your body as much if you pay attention to the video game. Your energy will not drop as much, which will allow you to continue exercising for a longer period of time.
 
You should buy exercise clothes that make you feel athletic. Your mental commitment is reinforced by wearing the appropriate clothing. While workout clothes can be expensive, they can actually make your exercise routine less difficult and more fun.
 
If your workout routines are the same every single day, you will lose interest very quickly. You don't like to keep doing something that you don't enjoy. You should variate your workout to keep yourself interested and constantly learning. It's crucial that you find ways to stay interested in exercising or else it will be easy to drop out of your routine. Anything that breaks the routine for too long can make it really tough to get back in the groove!

I know this to be true! I keep my workout logs just so I can keep track of how many days I have not worked out. It motivates me to keep in the pattern. 
To keep things on schedule when I am traveling on off my schedule is to do some bodyweight training. It is really effective, under rated and goes with you any where! Check out this report for more information!
 
Give yourself something you truly love once you achieve a fitness milestone. This will keep your motivation high. The reward doesn't have to be extravagant, but it should be something that you want. Choose rewards that are healthy, easy to access and that won't set you back. Remember not to compromise yourself by eating a whole cheesecake as a reward! Opt for fat-free or low-fat food options if you are going to reward yourself with food. If you enjoy the reward, then you will be more motivated to keep working towards that next goal.
 
While you have to do chores everyday, working out should not be one of them. There are many ways to develop exercise routines that are engaging and fun. Use the information in this piece to turn your exercise routine into something fun, rather than something you dread.

OK, OK! I know I said 12 minutes a day, so here it is! I have told you before that I keep a kettlebell next to my desk so I can grab a few sets every now and then through out the day, right. So it was kind of random in the past, so I decided to basically follow a set routine and see what I get.

My theory is that by engaging in 2 sets of the Fat Burning routine as out lined in the Kettlebell Advantage, 5 times spread out over the course of my day with 15 sec of rest between each set, I will get in 2.5 minutes of the fat burning routine plus rest per set, times the 5 sets! Thats the plan any way, so we will keep you posted!
