Why not go for an evening jog together, or go to the gym – and more fun and have someone to watch your results and if necessary support, if suddenly will start to drop hands.
Buy yourself new sports uniforms
You’ll definitely want not only to wear, but also to try the case. Consider the load and the sport that plan to do – you should be as comfortable as possible, and the form should not constrain movements.
Keep track of your progress
Nothing motivates like a private photo before and after workouts. In the mirror you see yourself everyday and it may seem that there is no result. But pictures do not lie. In addition, you should keep a diary of your weight and body specifications – often the extra pounds can last long in the body, but if the waist or thighs is shrinking, the result is obvious.
