Exercise = Excitement

Want more excitement in your life? Peeps who exercise experience more feelings of excitement and enthusiasm than those who don’t work out.

Plus, you’re more likely to say you feel excitement and enthusiasm on days you were more active than usual.  These findings are from a Penn State University study.

Good reason to work up a sweat.

Or this bikini (which I am utterly obsessed with) is another good reason for exercising, so you can rock your tone bod in it on the beach.

Your outdoor gym

You’ve decided that in 2011 you’re gonna make like Fergie and be all up in the gym just working on your fitness.

Amazing. Just don’t forget you’ve already got a free gym membership–the great outdoors.

And if the snow and frigid temps are keeping you from working out outside, consider this: you may lose weight faster working out outdoors. A University of Essex study found that outdoor exercise burns up to 20 percent more calories than indoor exercise because the body uses energy to keep warm and to deal with the elements such as rain and wind.

So layer up, put on a hat and get to it. It’s really not that bad. I swear.
