Here are a few tips for the end user.
- Take time to schedule your exercise in your diary. Either have a recurring appointment (can be easier to skip), or make a point of scheduling your exercise sessions each week. Invite others to exercise with you on a run, a class, or a gym session, and you will both be more committed

- Many top-notch gyms will lend you one, or…
- Buy one from £30 along with a watch

- Listen to inspiring music; make playlists on your MP3 player (much easier & quicker now than it was with mixtapes!). Change it regularly to keep you motivated, and have a powersong to take you to the limit
