Hi there
One of my favourite sayings is that Exercise is the First Domino for a Healthy/er life. But how do you form the Exercise Habit when it has been a struggle? Here are my ten tips that can help you get your sweat on.
- Plan it like a meeting: Book it in your calendar.
- Have a Plan A, B and C: If you book A and you are too busy / kids sick / work mounts up, go for B. A should always be the workout you really want to do, B is a shorter or more efficient workout - a walk at a good pace. A plan C is something - ten squats while you brush your teeth. Do not compromise on daily movement.
- Do things you love and things you do not like: Exercise works when best outside our comfort zone. Love yoga? Amazing. But lift weights do.....
- Lift Weights: Strength training is the trend for 2024. Why? Because it will change your body and mind.
- Pick a time: Some people are AM exercisers (like our FITFAM_ and some love it after work. Find out what works best for you.
- Find your why - the mental health benefits of exercise are often the only reason I need to lace up shoes. You can now dose anxiety / depression with exercise. If you want to know how, reach out.
- Call a friend: Workout / accountability partners are pivotal in making exercise a habit
- Treat yourself: Do ten workouts, get a really great smoothie on the way home; do a month, and buy yourself a new outfit
- Don't sweat it if you miss a day or two - you will get back.
- Have fun. Exercise is meant to be fun!
