Learn to love lifting

Lifting weights is something you either love or dread and refuse to do.I personally love it and feel amazing after, but there's some days where i'm just really not in the mood and these few tips really inspired me to get up and hit the gym hard. my favorite tip was tip 4, I thought a reward for all your hard work was a great inspiration.

1. BE A CALENDAR GIRL:
Circle weddings, vacations, or any date on which you know you'll want to show off a toned body, says celebrity trainer Seven Boggs. Then mark at least two days each week when you'll lift to prepare for the event.

2. ALARM YOURSELF:
Set your cell phone to text you a reminder on strength-training days, Boggs suggests. For visual encouragement, change your screen's background to an inspiring image, like an athlete whose body you admire.

3. GRIN AND BARE IT:
"Wear shorts and racer-back tops on days you lift," says Boggs. "You'll pay more attention to your form—and even crank out extra reps—if you can see the areas you're targeting."

4. PUT A COUPLE BUCKS IN A JAR:
Do it every time you hit the weights. "After a few months of regular workouts, you'll have enough cash to buy yourself a reward, like a smaller pair of jeans!"

5. CREATE A VISUAL CUE:
"Once you notice definition, have a friend snap a photo of you in a flattering outfit and make it your Facebook profile picture," says Boggs. You'll show off your success and be inspired to stick with your routine every time you sign in.

6. MIX IT UP:
Don't let your routine become routine.
