When starting a workout program, the first two weeks are definitely the most challenging. Not just because of the exercises, but because of the commitment you will have to make to that program to get your desired results. If you get past those first two weeks, you are more likely to finish the entire program.

How many had a plan to start a workout and put it off? How many started a program and only did it for a week? I’m sure there are a lot of you out there! Getting over the hump is a great achievement and means that you are on your way to reaching your goals.

Some great ways to stick with it is to set a short term goal just to get past those two weeks, work out with a buddy or go online and find a community to get tips and advice from. Blogging about your workout is also a great way to stay motivated. Hold yourself accountable by posting updates and pictures. Once you start to see a change, you will be more inclined to keep going and finish the entire program.
