It takes motivation to start and developing a habit to keep it up. I hope you can take away and try some useful tips to break the mentality that exercise is punishment. We often make excuses… I’m too tired, too busy, or just have no motivation… you haven’t found the exercise you love yet. We hope you find the right exercise for you, studies have proven obesity levels in Ireland are growing and are set to be higher in the oncoming years. So lets make a change to make exercise part of our lifestyle, not just something you ‘have’ to do.
How do you find an exercise that you love?
Its recommended that you are trying something for at least a month and after you will have a fair idea if its for you or not.
Try theses 6 tips to find the exercise you love:
Try a new class, ask for options, if there are introduction, trial period or class passes available.
Bring a friend along, you and your friend can help keep each others motivation going and you will feel bad if you back out, so it will kinda make you go. Nobody wasn’t a to be a bad friend. ?
Build a habit. Write your exercise times down in your daily to do lists. This will help to form a habit. According to research, Monday is the best day to start, as will build high motivation for the week ahead.
Pick a day and time and stick to it each week to help form the habit.
Make it convenient for you, the more its convenient for you, the easier it will be to go and do it.
Be patient with results, real results take time, effort, focus and consistency. Rome wasn’t built in a day!
I hope to inspire, motivate and help you to find an exercise that works for you. To me exercise should be like a child at the playground, it should be really fun! Because if its not fun then you are unlikely to go back and you will never form an exercise lifestyle habit.
