I’m going to be completely honest here… I struggle with getting the motivation to exercise.
Whenever it comes time to workout, I often convince myself that there are plenty of other things I can be doing with my time.
Then I saw this exercise motivator on Pinterest and I just knew I had to try it.
Since May, I have been using this little exercise motivation.
I pay myself $1 every time I exercise. This is huge because if I workout and go to yoga later in the evening, that’s $2!
Get paid to workout?! Check out this exercise motivator! #exercise #fitness Click To Tweet
When I’ve saved $100 I’ll use my money to treat myself to a new outfit, a haircut, or go for a massage. Seems reasonable right? I already have $32 in the jar!
Do you have any exercise motivators? If so, I would love to hear them!

What a great way to motivate yourself! I’m going to have to try something like this! :-)
Great idea!
I have found that wanting to set the example for my kids to lead an active life does it.
So basically I guilt myself into it. :)
What a great idea!! I might have to try that as I could most definitely use ll the motivational help I can get!
That’s an awesome idea! I do find it hard to be motivated to exercise, so I might have to try this!
I LOVE THIS IDEA! I work out so why not pay myself for it? I’m doing this for sure
I have seen this idea floating around and I think it is a great motivator!

This is a great motivator … unfortunately my hubby won’t go for it because I’m at the gym 11 times a week … he thinks we’d go broke!! LOL

Mika Says,
Ha Ha, very interesting, You have now $32 into the jar and I hope that very soon your jar will be fulfilled by $100 and you will again able to treat yourself to a new outfit, a haircut, or go for a massage. It seems to me reasonable and worth not worst. Thanks
I love my exercise jar. I really push it when I get close to the $100 mark!
Thanks for visiting.
Haha…the pic looks like you really had to bite the bullet, despite the rewards!
Sometimes, even with the motivation, exercise can be brutal!
GENIUS! Love it! You could make a fortune selling Workout Tip jars on Etsy too! :)
There’s nothing like seeing that money in the jar pile up! Yes, it’s a great motivator!
