Whew, motivation to do a fitness routine can be tough when you're tired, hot-flashing, or over-extended!  Leslie & Marie talk about the excuses, the why's and the how's of fitness in midlife from a very relatable place. Hopefully, you'll come away feeling understood, encouraged and maybe even a little bit motivated!

Tips for getting motivated:

• Group Fitness - commitment, consistency, community
• Strength Training
• Walking
• Stream some workouts from home (Youtube has some great ones, also DailyBurn and FitfusionTV are some other options - there are tons)
• Dancing in the house, cleaning (don’t underestimate the calorie burn of a good cleaning session!)
• Make a motivational playlist to exercise to.
• Set up alerts on your phone - get up and be active.
• Fit Bit Challenges
• Set a goal - a marathon, a 5K, a hike that you haven’t been able to finish, & reward yourself after you reach the goal with a non-food award.
