Get Rewarded
When you lift heavy things, you work out your muscles, and you get strong: that’s a reward in itself. You don’t need to work toward a medal, work toward a stronger you.

Priorities
Sometimes, you just wish people would understand your commitment to gym time.
Get New Gym Clothes
Bulky sweaters and ballooning pants do not look conducive to working out. Thank goodness today’s yoga pants and sports bras let you move. Reward yourself with new gym outfits from time to time. It’s a great motivator.
Fit Comes in Different Sizes
What a fabulous vintage photo of three fit boxers! Size may vary, but each is fit and ready to box in his own weight class. Whether you are small framed or big boned, you can eat right and work out to get strong and fit.
Don’t Mope: Go Jump Rope
We’ve all been there: upset and caught in a loop of despair. You feel like this photo of Bette Davis. You drop on the bed and obsess. Or worse, go on a binge—eating, drinking. The best thing to clear your head? Go work out. Now, it won’t be easy at first. The law of physics, after all, says things at rest stay at rest. You gotta get up the will power to get moving. But once you do, it gets easier. Things in motion stay in motion! After the work out, you won’t feel like Bette looks.
Stay Slim and Fit by Taking Amphetamine
“A couple of grammes of amphetamine sulphate taken daily enables you to slim while you do the housework—surely and safely.” Vintage ad from 1940.
Well, we all know better now. What you need is not amphetamine, or any other drug. You need motivation and will power to get started.
Close the Door. And Walk Away.
Just because you opened the door, does not mean you have to take out any food and eat it. Just close the door, and walk away.
Squats in the Sand Retro Style
Not sure their form is perfect, but these lovelies are enjoying the sand and surf with squats. Why they are being led by a bald man in a suit with street shoes and argyle socks . . . who is to say? I see a life ring in the back, just in case those rugged waves are too much. I love vintage photos, but I do lament that they are pretty much lily white. Still inspiring though.
