“No one will know if…”

You can be your own worst enemy when you’re alone and no one’s watching. “Research shows that people are more motivated to work out in a group setting and will go harder and longer when in the presence of their peers,” says Love. Here are few ways around this: Get a heart rate monitor. When you know how hard you’re working and how many—or how few—calories you’re burning, you’ll be motivated to push yourself harder. You could also sign up for a 5-K, 10-K, or full/half-marathon. Having a training schedule with a race-day looming in the near future can up your resolve. Finally, join an online support group, like Prevention.com's Flat Belly Community. Use the free tracking tools and online community to hold yourself accountable.
