Instead of viewing your workout as a chore or a challenge, appreciate it as an opportunity to fit in some much-needed alone time.

It’s amazing what fresh air can do for your mind and body. Don’t look at your phone or bring any distractions. Just get outdoors, even for a few minutes, to break up your day and refresh.
