Bribery is a good thing, sometimes. When we’re trying to get ourselves to do the workout we’ve planned, offering ourselves a bribe can get us to that starting place. Here are five non-food bribes (yes, I know that many of us will do all kinds of things for tacos, but we’re focusing on fitness right now):
1. Hot bath/shower. Maybe the kind with fancy bubbles or candles or a scrubby thing. Bonus: it will help sore muscles relax.
2. Outing. (Keeping in mind safe protocols for the pandemic.) We can go to that museum we’ve wanted to visit or catch a movie or stroll through the park with a friend.
3. Music. This one is great because when we get new, upbeat music, not only do we get to enjoy it, we can use it to make our future workouts more fun.
4. Friends. We can give ourselves a moment to chat with the people who make life fun.
5. That (small) thingie we’ve been coveting. Maybe it’s a pair of earrings or a new pen or some cool socks. We can give ourselves a reward for a week’s worth of workouts. (Gotta be careful with this one because it can get expensive!)
Go play!
