7 Ways to Stay Motivated for Fitness

motivation1Let’s face it.  There’s a reason most gyms use contracts (usually a year or two) instead of month-to-month memberships.  They know that most people cannot maintain the motivation needed to make fitness a way of life so having a month-to-month, or pay as you go, membership option is much less profitable!  So, how do you take advantage of that membership you just paid to use their facilities for the next year or two?  How do you get and stay motivated?
