Sometimes finding the motivation and energy to exercise is hard. We’ve all been there. The trick is to set yourself up for success from the start and use these 9 tips to get you in exercise mode before you even begin:

Chose a type of exercise that you enjoy 

If you hate running, don’t join a running club and start training for a marathon. If you hate going to spinning classes, don’t sign up to the spin studio for a 10 week pass. Don’t start doing exercise, because you should, do exercise because you want to. This means different things for different people in terms of what exercise you choose, how often and how long you exercise and it’s important to figure out what this means for you. Many people start a running program because they should run, or their friend runs and then fall away without success because it is so un-enjoyable and just a daily task. Instead, choose the exercise that you like and will do consistently and that will allow you to push to achieve your goals.

What some may not know, though, is that even the zero calories, regular or diet, caffeine filled or free, is still dangerous for our bodies.

So take a look at 5 reasons why you should finally quit consuming soda for good!

1. Weight Gain

First, soda drinks have a negative effect on our metabolism. This then results in our bodies having a harder time burning fat. The sugars in soda also do not make us feel full, thus we continue to drink it and add onto it with eating foods. Having an intake of one or two sodas a day will lead to having a waist expansion to unhealthy levels. Other studies have found that those who drank soda instead of healthier options like milk or water had fat deposits in higher amounts. Even worse, was that these deposits were found in their muscles and liver – which could eventually lead to even bigger and bad health risks.
