If you are finding it harder to get motivated to work out, try mixing these ten tips into your routine.

Dance the Night Away. Get moving with Zumba, the Latin dance fitness craze. Work your arms, legs, glutes, and core muscles while mastering Latin dance moves. Try Zumba at home with a DVD or find a class in your area.

Water Works. Work out with fan paddles and water dumbells and tone your arms, chest and core muscles without breaking into a sweat. Check with your local fitness center, community swimming pool or YMCA for more information on water aerobics.

Tone with Tai Chi. Slow and deliberate tai chi moves melt away stress while burning a respectable number of calories. Tai chi focuses on stability and strength and will give your mind and body the boost you need.

Stretching It. Increase muscle performance and reduce the likelihood of injury by stretching before and after a workout. All it takes it about 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to prepare your body for a workout, and to relax your body afterwards.

Jumpstart your Workout. Liven up your cardio routine with a simple yet effective exercise. Jumping rope doesn’t cost as much as a gym membership and you can easily take a jump rope with you when you travel. No more excuses!

Stay in Shape with Water. Drinking water before, during and after a workout will prevent dehydration, muscle fatigue, and possible injury. Don’t bother with sports drinks or “energy” drinks that contain added sugar or caffeine. Plain water is the best for your body.

Work it out Together. Working out with a friend can be fun and motivational. Walk around the neighborhood with a friend or spouse in the evenings or bring a friend with you to the gym to help spot you on the weight bench.

Play Around. Sometimes the best workout you can have takes place outside the gym. Organized team sports are a great way to get fit with friends and family. Plan a game of baseball, football, or basketball to have fun and burn calories at the same time.

Have a Ball. A stability ball is great for toning core muscles and strength. Instead of your regular chair at work, sit on a stability ball instead and you will sit up straighter and strengthen your core muscles at the same time.

Sweet Dreams. Don’t forget to get plenty of rest. It is essential to get 8 hours of sleep at night to refresh your mind and body and prepare for your next workout.
