For January, my goal is to workout every day. I've been trying this off and on since late fall, with mixed results. I decided to use the don't break the chain technique. Armed with a free calendar from the hardware store and a new, black Sharpie, I have been marking off the days. The X's mark off walks/jogs, weight lifting, swims, Yoga, and miles on the treadmill.
It's also changed the question from, "Am I going to work out today?" to "What workout am I going to do today?" That works well for me because I can very easily talk myself out of a workout.
I do best when I can workout in the morning but that isn't always possible. I marked one day with a big S when I was really too sick to work out. The following day I did Yoga at home with a box of tissues and cup of apple cinnamon tea.
