Don’t forget to reward yourself!
After you exercise, take a few minutes to sit down and relax. Reflect on what you’ve just accomplished, and savor the positive feelings that exercise gives you.

When you reach a long-range goal, treat yourself to a new pair of walking shoes or new tunes to enjoy while you exercise.
