Make sure to drink lots of water, something sweet to avoid aches, and look at yourself in the mirror to see that post-gym glow

Well I workout by running and when you do workouts like running home it’s saves time so your more likely to keep doing it.

To answer your question on a personal level, I tend to do something that I enjoy, something that will really put a smile on my face! A good example would be treating myself to a yummy snack or “letting” myself watch Youtube for 30 minutes, even if I might have other stuff to do. However, I truly belive that celebrating what you have accomplished should be different for everyone! Take a second and think about what makes you happy, and continue on, from there, developing your amazing habit. 😁 Ben

Well, one way to celebrate is to reward yourself with something which is healthy but tastes good. That way, you’re respecting your body and yourself. Sincerely, Selmaan A Ali

I make sure to fuel after my workout. After a long run, I either eat a sushi burrito or a a delicious Mac & cheese dish.

My morning workouts are 15 mins of hardcore stretching, deep breathing, and visualizing success. The whole thing is a celebration for me.

To make exercise more enjoyable, I try to do it as much as possible together with a friend. This way we celebrate together by congratulating each other and saying out loud we can be proud of ourselves. I also find it motivating to look at my workout history in the apps in which I track them. I also treat myself to nice workout clothes. The best reward though is seeing my body change, noticing my strength and how quickly I recatch my breath after intense activity.

I usually workout at like 10/11 AM, so I can eat my lunch immediately after, so I’ve pretty much made that a habit. Workout in the morning, lunch immediately after.

I use the 1 minutes get moving “workout” in the end of my workouts as a celebration because it has a really cheerful music. It’s just one minute long, it’s some push-ups and jumping - so that’s my ritual now =)

After every workout I treat myself with a long meditation session, usually when taking anche energizing shower, maybe lighting some candles
