January's Goal- Exercise Daily

I'll start this year with the typical new year's resolution,  start exercising!! I've been working out pretty consistently for almost a year now,  but after a rough holiday of sickness and traveling, I got out of the habit.  This is a great way to get back on track.  It's also a great time to grab a friend to take with you.  Everyone is trying to be healthier this time of year, so take advantage of it and get a workout partner. I'm lucky that my husband has turned into a gym nut, so we are encouraging each other to stay on top of our workouts.  This is also a great time in my pregnancy to be concentrating on exercise.  I'm almost halfway through and have more energy right now and I'm not too big to do most of the exercises.  So here is the "how" in keeping my goal.

1.  Keep a log
2.  Schedule at least 30 minutes of exercise into each day
3.  Find different ways to workout, even if I can't make it outside to run or to the gym
4.  Make sure my husband is reminding me and encouraging me, and I'm doing the same for him

January...done.  Plan on continuing 4-5 hours of exercise each week.  On to February.

What are you working on this month?  How are you going to accomplish this?  Who can you get to help you or do this with?  Reward yourself if you do accomplish your goal this month.  I saw on pinterest where someone put a dollar in a jar every time they exercised.  At the end of the month, they used that money to buy something for themselves.  Great idea! Good luck!
