OK — This might seem like a strange way to get motivated, but it is possibly one of the most effective ways. And since Internet Marketing types spend tons of time sitting on their rear-ends in front of a computer drinking coke and eating chips, this is particularly relevant.
Now this is the part where I admit that I am not the best example to follow. I do work out, but not as much as I should. So do as I say – not as I do. Got it?
Hear me clearly: When we are out of shape and carrying around a few extra pounds, it becomes much easier to feel worse about ourselves.
Indeed, not exercising can take a serious toll on your self-esteem. It can also make you feel generally lethargic and physiologically uncomfortable. And when you do, it becomes harder to focus on your work, your goals, and your personal relationships.
So, get exercising! Even if you don’t shed all of that extra weight, exercise will make you feel happier and less distracted.

Personally, I do take exercise seriously and i really find the time to do it. Great motivational tip!
This has been a real tough problem for me in the past. After trying several different ideas, I have come to the conclusion that it must be a daily ritual. For me to do this though I have to schedule the workouts at the beginning of the week to fit it all in with my busy schedule.
I mix up the workouts between weights and cardio. I can only do weights at night when my body is warmed up and I have eaten and have energy to burn. So I have to schedule those nights when I’m not booked with other things (right now sailing).
It’s easy once you get going, I am approaching 2 months now without missing many days. I feel great, lots of energy and am starting to look better (shedding a few chins 8-))
Great post.

Ahhh…Exercise the answer to many social ills. I am 60 years old and try my best to keep up with the younger generation. I work out 3 sometimes 4 times per week and it gives me energy, youthful appearance and the ability to forge ahead with my own IM needs.
BTW I have weights and workout equipment next to my PC. Sometimes in the middle of a work out I get instant ideas and inspiration.

I am very conscious of the relationship between exercise and mental and physical health.
I have to be careful of remembering, that In as much as I want to make a success of my online business I cannot sacrifice my physical fitness, sometimes it requires a while away from the PC to get some perspective back.

Exercise and health are so important. I now when I’m consistent I have more energy but when I get behind, then my energy levels get behind.
Thanks for the reminder to look away from the computer.
Hello Mark,
I only can agree with you, how important it is to do some exercise. As I’m very lazy with it 🙂 I found something which suites perfectly to enlarge my daily motivation and energy. Ever heard of Colonel Bradford and his 5 marvellous exercises?
A wonderful start in every new day full of energy to all of you.
