First, you'll want to make sure you're caught up on laundry so you're not grabbing sweaty, stinky gym clothes. Then set out your favorite exercise outfit, sports bra, sneakers and change of clothes (for that quick post-workout change). If you prefer to get fit at home, put a DVD in the player and set out your mat, weights and other equipment so you'll be ready to roll out of bed and in front the TV. Prefer the outdoors? Charge your iPod and other gadgets, fill your water bottle and chill it in the fridge. If you're headed to the gym, make arrangements with your workout buddies and trainers in advance. Whatever your fitness venue, just aim to get your ducks in a row ahead of time, because the less stress you have on workout day, the more motivated you'll be to push yourself.
Speaking of motivation, did you know you can exercise your way to a better mood? Yep, carve out a little sweat time, and you might find yourself smiling more than usual.

I prefer yoga. Yoga increases flexibility and strength, but those are not the only benefits. I have read on http://www.projectweightloss.com Jennifer Nettles (from Sugarland) likes yoga too. Sugarland uses some yoga positions in their shows. They call it “show-ga”. Nettles’ favorite part of the exercise is Savasana - the end of a yoga session - because it provides relaxation to the body after a strenuous session and cools down the body.
