Are you in dire need of motivation and inspirational quotes to get started on a fitness regime? Do you plan it out painstakingly but can’t keep to the schedule when it comes to pursuing your fitness routine regularly? Do not worry, you are not alone. Here are 10 easy tips that will keep you glued to your fitness plans today, tomorrow and till your next resolution.1. Convenience first
Believe it or not, the toughest part of working out is actually getting inside the gym. So the first step to stay motivated is finding a gym closest to your home and convenient to reach. You can never think of an excuse to skip your workout if your gym is just a block away.

4. Bond with a buddy
If you can plan dinner dates with your friends, why not exercise routines? Find a friend who shares your passion for fitness. Quitting is easy when you are alone but much more difficult when you have a fitness buddy waiting on the track. Social networking sites are full of groups of fitness enthusiasts. You can easily find one who has similar interests and pursue your fitness goals together.
5. Keep a tab on calories burnt
Tracking your calorie burning rate can be another way to encourage yourself to hit the gym. Burning calories is the best way to shed the flab. So keep telling yourself that the more calories you burn, the more weight loss you will have.

Imagine yourself in that teeny-weeny dress that you have been eyeing for a long time but did not buy because of those love handles. There’s no better motivation than looking good.

7. Let fitness come at a cost
Hitting that neighbourhood park for a quick run or shaking your booty watching that fitness DVD looks like cheap and effective ideas. But in reality, their no-cost-attached feature means they can be sacrificed easily for some other commitments. On the other hand, if you put a cost to it, you are bound to take things seriously. Hire a personal trainer or join a swanky gym. When you are shelling out a bomb every month, chances are you’ll never miss it for a movie or a meeting.
8. Shop to indulge yourself
Wearing the same gym clothes every single day can be a tad boring. Buy as many as 5-6 sets of workout wear. The shopping will keep you pepped and you will never run short of workout clothes. What’s more, you will always have something stylish to wear out there and look like a diva.
9. Bribe yourself to stay fit
When you have something interesting to look forward to, you can sail through the tough chores. So promise yourself a spa visit, some beauty rejuvenation or a night out after your weekend gym session. That way, the workout will be just a small stop till you hit the fun part.
