Have you been meaning to start exercising for a long time? Maybe it was a New Year’s resolution which you still have to implement; or maybe your mirror just emphatically told you to. Either ways, there’s no better time than now to get started. Regular exercise will improve your cardiovascular health, help you lose weight, build up your stamina and increase muscle mass.
Here are some tips for making exercise a lifelong habit:
- Select activities you enjoy: This is important because if you pursue something you don’t like, chances are that you’ll give it up sooner than you began. It is better to select a variety of activities to prevent boredom from setting in. Try new exercises and see what your friends are doing.
- Write your goals and achievements: Seeing your progress in writing will act as a great motivator and will boost your exercise plan.
- Find a convenient place: Find a place that is close to your home or office to workout. You’ll get fed up if you have to travel huge distances to exercise.
- Exercise with friends or a support group: Friends help to motivate each other while shedding sticky pounds.
- Log everything you do for a week: Make exercise an integral part of your routine. Look at your calender, mark the days that you are free and make an appointment with yourself to exercise.
- Reward yourself: As you keep accomplishing parts of your goal, treat yourself to a movie, a meal or a new outfit.
Remember that regular exercising is the key to feeling healthy and happy. It’s the perfect antidote to stress and believe it or not even more energising than a cup of hot chocolate.
