In a few days we'll be hittin' the road to move cross-country! We've been to the gym for eight days straight now, and I definitely need a day off. Yet, I am worried about what four days on the road with little physical activity and less than ideal food will do to my performance and physique. Provided I have the energy to exercise I plan to do this mini-workout at least a couple of times until I get the chance to hit the gym again.

Here's a list of ideas that can make your workouts even better:

- Having a plan for your workout. 

- Eating appropriately prior to working out.

- Dressing comfortably (including comfortable shoes).

The theories around psychological traits and somatotypes, or body build, are considered outdated. Yet, evidence exist that different body types tend to excel in different fields of sports and respond differently to various forms of exercise.

Whether your goal is to lose fat mass, increase muscle mass, run a marathon, or compete in fitness, your ultimate goal may seem overwhelming at first. There is no need to feel discouraged even if you are far from reaching your main goal.
