Sign up for a charity run Motivating yourself to begin a new exercise regime can be difficult, particularly if you're not working towards a particular goal, such as a holiday or wedding. However, one way of putting a little pressure on yourself is to sign up for a charity run. Not only will your efforts be raising money for a good cause, but it will also be helping to improve your fitness levels.

Signing up for a charity event means you'll have to publicise what you're doing and inform your family and friends. This will help you stay focused and motivated, because once they've handed over their hard-earned cash, there can be no going back. If you're training for a big race, why not try to get a friend involved? This way you can egg each other on and support one another on the big day. You can either sign up for a big national race or organise your own event for a local charity.
