Ever grow up in a house where their was a jar ... maybe coins and dollars went into it for good behavior (or in some houses, bad behavior) but either way it was an incentive for something. Maybe a family vacation, a trip to the toy store, or even pizza on a Friday night. Likely, the incentive encouraged a particular behavior or stopped one.
What if you hit your workout goal - let's say three times a week (yes, we're actually thinking four) - each month and for your efforts you received a financial incentive? And if you didn't, you had to pay up. Sounds interesting. Women's Health Magazine recently highlighted a study at the Mayo Clinic where half of the participants received 'compensation' for sticking to their goals and the other half did not.
Committing to your workouts each week has to be a little bit like brushing your teeth. It's pretty likely you're committed to the daily behavior - without it there are serious consequences, eventually. But if the commitment to fitness is challenging, consider creative ways like this article suggests to make it happen.
Your dentist probably won't care too much . But your trainers and instructors at Dynamic You will.
