Exercise Motivation for the Millionaire Moms in Training!
ByAre you time-starved, and always on the run?
During my Secret Service Days, I was also time-starved and always on the go, too….
So, I can relate to being crazy busy yet still needing to look and feel great every single day…. and today I’m going to share some of my favorite tips with you.
The more motivation you have, the more you will keep moving! Just in case you need more motivation, or know someone that may need more motivation, I’ve written these 5 more motivational reasons for you to stay super-motivated and always keep moving
1. YOU WERE FLEXIBLE AT 1, 10 and 20 YEARS OLD.
You should also be flexible and limber well into your 60’s and 70’s. Keep this in mind:
Your children deserve grandparents that can play with them; not sit grounded on the sidelines with an “injury.” So, today start moving and keep moving! Those little ones deserve it.
TIP: Before you get out of bed tomorrow, perform 1 set of sit-ups. Each day, add 1 more. In 1 month, your abs will be twice as strong, and in no time you will love your new 6-pack!
2. LOVE HANDLES DISAPPEAR.
Burn calories while consuming less fat and overall calories and you will be buying smaller pants sooner than you can imagine! Here are a few GREAT resources to get you started:

3. BATHING SUIT SEASON
This should always be on your mind. Don’t start exercising the week before, as you won’t get the results you want. Instead, start thinking “bathing suit season is around the corner” in December.
If you program your mind to think “bathing suit season,” you will notice that you’re eating habits will revolve around it! Soon, you lose the temptation for high-fat snacking, and the new YOU will be resisting temptation with no problem.
Here’s a resourceful tip from Katie Ingraham, co-founder of The Healthy Habits Blog:
“Whenever I start to slip a little bit with motivation, I visit www.victoriassecret.com - looking at those models in teeny bikinis is enough to give me the boost I need to keep working hard so I can look and feel my best! No, I will never look like a supermodel, and I know that- but it’s a great motivational tool that keeps me off the couch!”
4. SEXIER, SLIMMER YOU!
Say those words a few times. If that isn’t motivation to start exercising, nothing is! Must Read:

5. GREAT REASON TO GO SHOPPING!
Buying new bathing suits, shirts, skirts, dresses, and ‘skinny’ jeans. They are even more fun to shop for when we HAVE to get them because all our other clothes are too big- due to our new exercise program.
Lastly, I would like to leave you with the single most powerful question you can ever ask yourself. I learned this one during my Secret Service days. It worked for me and I KNOW it will do the same for you.In a 24hr day, what one of these sound better…..http://www.healthyhabitsblog.com/2009/05/22/motivation-stick-exercise-program/
REMEMBER: 90% of what you eat kills you. The other 10% keeps you alive.
