For me that meant joining a local running group training for a 10k and participating in an energy exchange at a yoga studio :) If you find that your workplace isn’t very active or maybe you’re not currently working, seek out a community that will support your endeavors to be healthier.

Yes- I feel tired even when i just wake up. So i do this every weekend, after a good night sleep. It feels sooo good... Some training always makes you feel life infiltrating through your body... Maybe i should try and do it every day like you, go guys! :) Ah, i wish i had time for that… but i feel too sleepy and tired in the morning to do exercises or run… Yes- I feel tired even when i just wake up.

If you remind yourself how good you feel after, it will be easier to get up and go. I like sticking post-it notes on mirrors to remind myself of why I'm doing something. Stick a note reminding yourself why getting up at 530am is a good idea on the bathroom mirror so you see it first thing in the morning! ~ Laura, GEC Online Community Hi kiki,

Any tips to a person who can be up for 18 hours or more for work, to find motivation to work out. When I do-power yoga especially, i have so much energy! Any ideas to help a person who can be sleep so sleep deprived to get up at 530? I'd love to, but the motivation is what is keeping me down! :( I am in the veterinary medical field with the schedule that has more twists turns and ups and downs than most roller coasters.

I really enjoyed writing this blog post! @Arwen: I just finished a long run on the treadmill! My secret? Have a rockin' playlist. Also-- I love making a time/distance goal before I run. I try to run a few minutes longer or a bit faster to beat my goal (adds a little extra happiness/feeling of satisfaction). @Thinkate- I love Men's Health too especially their tweets(guilty pleasure). @Rowmy- Thank you so much for your Austin tips! I will be sure to check out your recommendations when I am in town. I cannot wait to visit the city-- I've heard it is great! Thanks! Kristina Hi everyone,

I absolutely agree with a lot of these suggestions. New fitness magazines and playlists keep me going when I hit a funk. The takeaway I want to try? Scheduling workouts with friends. I normally workout on my own but lately I've been training the girls at work and have been trying to get them to come on fitness dates with me. Will expand to include my friends once the winter lets up. *sigh* Is it spring yet?? :) Thanks for the great insight Kristina! What a great post! I absolutely agree with a lot of these suggestions.

We have created a whole bunch to get you pumped, so feel free to browse and pick and choose your favourites http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/category/playlists/ I also like to make a game of it. Set mini goals, like I'm going to run at 'this' speed for 5 minutes are reach 'this' many miles. Hope that helps! ~Jenna GEC Online Community Hey Arwen,

As an Austinite I can tell you you'll have no trouble finding places to fit in your workout. The Austin Hike and Bike Trail on Town Lake is the perfect running spot and has several loop/distance options. There are also some great donation-based yoga studios so you can pop in for a class (I personally recommend Black Swan Yoga). Thanks for the great workout tips! SXSW is alway so much fun!

I find they are often more about lip gloss and fat loss than workout tips and healthy eating. I read Men's Health magazine instead as the recipes are better, the message is better, the workouts are better and there are wicked tips about mixing cocktails and fixing things around the house.
