Welcome to the Get Fit Fit Guys, quick and dirty tips to slim down and shape up.

In the recent episode, do workouts, songs, and music make you exercise harder?

You learned how to use the power of music to motivate yourself to exercise and make your workouts more productive.

But motivating yourself to get fit

goes above and beyond simply music. So here are 10 more exercise motivation tips. Number one,

try caffeine. Beyond simply stimulating your central nervous system to release energy bestowing adrenaline,

caffeine can make working out seem less hard, which is also known as

reducing your rating of perceived exertion or RPE. A cup of coffee 30 to 60 minutes before working

out is one way to get your caffeine. Most popular fat-burning supplements also include the

motivational drug caffeine.

Number two, clip pictures.

If there's a body or a look that you're trying to achieve, like a better bud, a flat stomach, or more shapely calves,

then look out for photos of that look in fitness magazines or books.

By clipping the pictures and keeping them in a public place, like your refrigerator or bathroom mirror in a private place like a diary or photo gallery on your phone, you'll have a constant reminder of why you're exercising. Number three, use social

accountability. If you go on your Facebook page or the Get Fit Guy Facebook page or

start a blog or a Twitter account, you

can tell others about both your exercise goals and your workout achievements. Social accountability

and the ability to brag to others are both great ways to get externally motivated to exercise.

Number four, get a workout buddy. To keep you from sleeping through a workout, there's nothing

like knowing a friend is tapping their feet waiting for you to show up for a 6 a.m. run. If you have

trouble roping a friend into your fitness plans, check at your local gym for fitness groups or

exercise clubs like master's swim classes, triathlon training groups, or circuit training
