I keep myself motivated by never settling for my current state, even if I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. There is ALWAYS room for improvement. What first motivated me to start working out at age 14 was, unfortunately, pain. My step-sis and kids at school had no problem calling me fat. I did it for myself, to become the person I wanted to be, and to show everyone else that I was a hard worker and could accomplish anything. Now, my workout is the highlight of my day - I love it!

Its unfortunate but I've found that most people are motivated by pain. They lose a husband, wife, best friend or girlfriend and suddenly taking care of themself becomes more important. I'm not sure why this is. I'm not a psychologist but its true. Not for everyone but for those resistance to start. What do you think Mark. What was it that got you started. How do you say day after day "I've got to get up at 3:30am". Uggggg. ------------------- <strong>@Jesse, Thanks for the feedback! -Mark</strong> Great tips Mark.

I do it of course for my health. My biggest reminder is of the time in my life when I COULDN'T exercise. Were you ever unable to pick up a glass of water? I was. So I remind myself daily on how luck I am to have the ability. We only get one body, we best use it and take care of it the best way we can.

Morning bootcamp is SO much fun, I can't imagine life with out it. Doing the early thing, which for me is getting up at 6, was the only way I could make it a habit.
