awesome secret to help you exercise every day





I was thinking about this the other day and I realized that I have unknowingly developed a rather fool-proof system which has, regardless of the weather or how busy I am, really helped get me motivated to work out every single day for over four years!

 So what is this incredible, awesome, bad-ass system you ask?

 Simple...

 I do NOT allow myself to take a shower unless I have earned it through working out/exercising for at least 30 minutes. As a side note: said workout also has to get me relatively smelly and/or sweaty... and no... there are absolutely NO exceptions...

 If I need to be somewhere and I want to take a shower beforehand, guess who needs to make some time to work out an hour prior to leaving? You guessed it...

 At this point you probably think I'm crazy, but this system is actually quite beautiful once you get it installed in your own life. For me, taking a shower has become such an integral part of my daily routine that I honestly have not had the option of skipping a single day of working out or showering for any reason in over four years! The days I have to be to work at 5 or 6 in the morning? I really have no other choice but to get my ass to bed early and wake up at 4am - not unless I want to go to work looking, feeling and smelling like crap.

 I know that this may seem like it is easier said than done, but trust me, if you just commit to doing this for 30 days, I guarantee that: it will get easier, your excuses to not work out will all but vanish, and exercising will become almost as important to you as not smelling like butt!

 This motivational system has truly helped me understand that excuses are just that, excuses. I know it's challenging. I've been there. But ultimately I realized that taking care of myself is not about finding time, it's about making it! By making something as simple as your daily shower something you have to earn through exercise, it automatically reinforces in your brain that you have no other choice but to make it happen, or live with the stinky consequences...

 Dump your excuses, sweat your ass off and shower on!

ten rules to make running fun and easy

When I first started running in the summer of 2009, I was definitely not the runner I am today. I was slow, I was inefficient, and like most beginners, I struggled to get through my daily runs. Over the past two years however, I have learned a lot about running. The majority of what I learned came from reading books and magazine articles. They gave me a lot of helpful pieces of advice that uniquely improved my running performance. These tips were invaluable, and I am grateful for the incredible people who took the time out of their busy lives to write down what they learned, so that people like me could benefit from them. To pay homage to them, I thought it would be nice if I wrote down a few things that I have picked up along the way that might benefit you in the future. So here we go! 1. Less is more. When I first started running, I was completely horrible at it. I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Naively, I thought I could just strap on a pair of running shoes and e

why you should exercise (especially men)

When I was on my seven mile run this morning, I got to thinking about all the tremendous changes that have taken place in my life since I adopted this active lifestyle. The more I started to think, the more I realized how helpful this information might be to other people – especially men (since I am of course writing this from a male's perspective). So below you'll find a list of random things that popped into my head today that I would like to share with you that have impacted my life in a positive way since I adopted this healthy, active lifestyle. Enjoy! 1. Larger (male) genitals Yes, throughout my life I have had many ups and downs in regard to my weight. In sixth grade I was rather chunky and unfortunately that stuck around for a while. So right at the time when we were starting to take showers after gym class in the sixth grade, I happened to be the big kid in the locker room. One thing I was always uncomfortable with back then was the size of my privates compared t
