Fridge Fact
A refrigerator fact:
Your kitchen refrigerator contains perhaps the most valuable real estate in your house. This is where you put photos of your loved ones, favorite recipes, important date reminders, and the like.
It’s also a great place to put a mini training log or similar workout reminders. For example, you could clip a page from a magazine and put it on your refrigerator to remind you to do a certain strength-building exercise at least twice a week.
To remind you of your workouts for the week, simply write them on a small index card and attach the index card to your refrigerator with a magnet. List the days of the week and the workouts you are supposed to do on those days. If something else will inspire or motivate you, include that in the plan. Some people like to “reward" themselves by putting a star next to every day when they do the planned workout.
When using your refrigerator in this way, it’s crucial to actually slow down and look at the card whenever you go to the fridge. It won’t be long before your workouts are lodged in your brain, and then it won’t be long until you do them.
