The first step is the hardest for most people. But once you get the ball rolling, you will be in it for life with less effort.
These are a few strategies that you could use to start exercising consistently. The key word here is CONSISTENT, everyone can start, but sticking to it is another story.
- Set the INTENTION, you need to exercise because you love yourself and you want to get healthy.
- Try any exercise type or setting that is accessible to you. Be it kickboxing, dance class, yoga, running or hiking clubs, powerlift, crossfit or any group class. PICK SOMETHING that you enjoy doing and have the means to do so.
- Adjust your daily schedule, you need to MAKE TIME for exercise 3-5 days a week – from as little as 20 minutes to 60 minutes, your call. Relying on free time to workout won’t do it.
- Set SMALL MANAGEABLE GOAL or intention every week or month to achieve with your workout. Example, this week, I want to run extra 1km or I want to do extra 10 burpees today. A trainer can help you with setting your weekly or monthly goals.
- BE ACCOUNTABLE with your weekly workout by tracking them and regular scheduling. Find someone credible, like personal trainer or coaches, to help you with this.
- COMMIT. Stick to your schedule as best as you can. It’s sometimes a trial and error thing as you figure out what’s best for you. Adjust accordingly as you go along. Sometimes unavoidable things come your way that could stop your track, just slowly get back to your plan. Don’t give it up altogether!
It’s the simplest breakdown. Try it out!
