MOTIVATION: think outside the gym.

Let go of what you think counts as a so-called “workout.”

Throw out any definition you have. Open your mind. Think big. Think outside the gym. Break free of what you’ve always done. That workout you have to drag yourself to kicking and screaming and hate so much you often skip? Ditch it. A workout doesn’t have to take place in a gym or even a class. It doesn’t have to be a 7 mile run. It doesn’t have to include spandex leggings or $200 hi-tech running shoes. It does, however, need to make you work up a sweat and get your heart pumping. Quite literally it needs to move your booty. Take those words literally and truly move your booty ANY WAY you like. And while you’re at it, make it awesome. Make it social. Make it fun. Any workout that does anything less than inspire you and leaving you feeling like you could take on the world shouldn’t be given the time of day. Your time is too precious, your life is too short. A workout shouldn’t beat you down, it should lift you up. You hold the power to seek out that workout that takes you to the next level. Don’t wait for it to find you because it may not. Seek it out! Fitness is YOUR time. Make it awesome.

Don’t just join a gym. Join a MOVEMENT. Don’t just workout. MOVE YOUR BOOTY®! Don’t just survive. THRIVE.

Any way, any how. Just keep moving. #moveyourbooty

dailyMYB: WELCOME TO MYB NATION.

In MYBnation, we SWEAT BETTER when we SWEAT TOGETHER.

MYBnation is a community of people who know that we’re all one great sweat away from our best selves. Between all of life’s ups and downs, fitness is a place all our own. It’s a place we can play, focus, achieve, dream, perform and experiment. No one tells us we can’t, we don’t have enough credits, experience, talent or skill. When it comes to fitness, we are EXACTLY where we are supposed to be. But we must move forward. And the power to push each other forward is stronger than the power to push only ourselves. And that’s precisely what this December START NOW Workout Challenge is all about.

For the next 31 days, we ALL aim at those 22 workouts before 2013 hits. We will both end the year and start the year off right. So get your friends involved, tell your family and let’s move our booties together! Here’s how it works:

1) The GROUP WORKOUT LOG is a place to keep track of your workouts and get motivated by the group’s activity. 
2) dailyMYB emails will motivate you to keep at it all month long. 
3) The MoveYourBooty.org website dishes out constant motivation 24/7 - when you’re up, when you’re down, click over to MYB. 
4) Emailing me at moveyourbootyblog@gmail.com is a place to ask questions, update me on how your month is going and give me feedback.

Just do your best this month. That’s all we can ask of each other. But spread the MYBlove and get your friends involved—it’s easier to hit your goal with group motivation. They can sign up by emailing YES to moveyourbootyblog@gmail.com — sign ups all week!

Keep at it, teamMYB! You rock!

xoxo, 
Emily @ Move Your Booty
