Ask Derek: What Keeps Me Motivated
I’ve shared my motto and the secrets of how I stay fit, but now it’s time to let you all in on the real fitness tip — my motivation. This week's Ask Derek video blog was inspired by Francesca’s question below:
"Hey Derek! What keeps you motivated and when you just want to call it a day in the middle of a workout or dancing? Thanks! :)"
Thank you Francesca! :)

What keeps me going is reading my Bible, and prayer, you can't go wrong with neither one of them. -

Dear Derek,
What is it like having a gymnast as a partner in Shawn Johnson? I can tell that she re-energizes you, too. Am I right about that?

What I find to be the most motivating for me personally is my children. They need me. That is such a humbling and eye-opening revelation... it's not about ME anymore! :) I have to work and take care of myself for my babies, and that makes all the difference. -
Last night's DWTS performance was really spectacular! I think Shawn has a new career in dancing if she should decide to take it seriously on a professional level, and I think you are just the person to partner with her. Your inventive choreography, and your athleticism seem to be a perfect match for her. The moment in last night's performance where you flipped her over and the action froze for a few beats was so perfectly executed I was stunned. How did you ever think of that? How did she ever strike the beautiful position and hold it so well? What a pair you are. I would love to see contemporary dance that you have choreographed and that you perform with her.
As a matter of fact, why not a concert tour in conjunction with a musical group where you are the premiered dancer and you design the dance elements? I think I would just have to go see that! Thanks for making dance so much more exciting for me these days. -

My friends & coworkers keep me motivated because I hate working out. That & the end result: happier, healthier me who isn't stuck on1200 cal meal plan! -
what keeps me motivated is being able to prove to myself, and others, that i can do something....especially when there's lots of people who say that i can't.
