Mother May I: 3






When we’re kids, people bribe us to do stuff.  Behave at the doctor?  Get a sucker.  Good report card?  Pizza for you.  Now that we’re adults, we get to set our own rewards for working out.  May I suggest:

 

1.     Massage.  Or a hot bath.  Or anything that makes your body feel fabulous.

2.     Milestone treats.  Chop up that big goal and reward yourself for each segment.  This could be a scale number, a distance reached, a weight lifted, or whatever else you’re measuring.  Make it small enough to be manageable but big enough to be meaningful.

3.     New gear.  Who doesn’t love getting new workout clothes?  Or comfy shoes?  Or a cool new thingamajig for that activity we love?
