Four Ways to Reward Yourself on Achieving Your Fitness Goals

Everyone wants to stay fit but not many are able to build up a level of consistency and be doggedly regular in their exercise routine. You need to be highly motivated for it. The right kind of motivation can lead to splendid results and personal trainers swear by this as they train and observe scores of people on their way to fitness. One such way to keep up the spirit and be interested in your daily fitness is to observe small milestones achieved towards fitness and to reward yourself amply for it. Of course the reward should not be in the form of gorging at a fast food joint and loading yourself with sinful calories. They can come in hordes of different ways.

Clothes
There are very few who can resist the temptation of new clothes and fewer who do not feel happy at buying new clothes. If the new clothes accentuate your hard earned fitness, there cannot be a better way to make you feel motivated. You can try out that size medium tee you were eying so wistfully and could not get into it for those extra calories around the waist. If it fits you now after slogging out with your personal trainer, there is reason to celebrate and go for the treadmill with renewed gusto.

Trip to the beauty Salon
You have lost weight but cannot have the desired attention to yourself if your hair hangs limp around the shoulders and your hands and feet resemble a crow's. What better way to reward yourself than making a much needed and a much deserved visit to the salon and teaming the weight loss with a nice and trendy haircut which makes you look a couple of years younger. A manicure and pedicure along with a facial to make your skin glow will complete your look. You look good and you feel good and on top of the world with these little changes which also serve as great motivators.

Music
If music serves as the one necessary companion to your hours of exercise, then indulge yourself with a pack of CDs of your favourites. Hum along and exercise to the beats of music with your new collection. You will not realise how the hours just fly as you sail through yet another exercise module.

Plan out a vacation
Promise yourself the luxury of a trip if you succeed in sticking to an exercise and diet regime for a stipulated time. Your personal trainer will surely agree with you that you need to take a break after that back breaking fitness routine. A promised indulgence at the end of a grinding schedule works as a huge motivator. You can set small rewards like buying a new handbag or that wonderful pair of shoes after you achieve some milestone.

Small goals shall relieve your exercise of drudgery and help you to achieve your goals with a lot of excitement, newness and motivation.
