Fit Tip: Run With a Stranger at the Gym
When I step onto a treadmill at the gym, some days I'm just not feeling very motivated to push myself. I'm sure this happens to you too, so you should give this little game a try.
Find someone on a treadmill that looks like they're working hard and pretend you're running with them.

Pass Gym Time With Healthy Competition
Watching TV, listening to music, and perusing magazines are all great ways to pass the time when you're on a cardio machine, but even those can get boring.

Get Motivated: Homeless Running Group
Running is truly a metaphor for life. Anne Mahlum, founder of the homeless running program Back on My Feet believes so since there is always another mile to run, and each mile is covered one step at a time.
No stranger to early morning runs, the veteran marathoner Mahlum often found herself being cheered on by the homeless of Philly.
Winterize Your Workout With Spinning
