- Find something you enjoy doing and do it regularly. The key is consistency. It can be as simple as taking a walk every day. Running, cycling, beach volley ball - the options are as numerous as the benefits.
- Take the time to make fitness a priority in your life.
- Designate a time to exercise and stay on schedule.Many busy people who have disciplined themselves to exercise regularly get up early in the morning and get their fitness routine out of the way. That way, they have the satisfaction of meeting a goal all day long, and that's fuel for accomplishment in other tasks! The other option is to exercise immediately after work. Bring a change of clothes so you don't have to go home first. Once you are home, you may be tempted to rest, eat or do anything other than exercise.
- Too tired to exercise? That is universally the most popular excuse to not exercise. Actually, physical activity energizes you, especially when the endorphins kick in. Endophins provide a "natural" high.
- Note the positive changes you feel and see. As you become more fit, you may benefit from better sleep, higher energy levels throughout the day, increased flexibility and stamina, improved cholesterol, blood pressure and triglyceride levels, and a sense of well being.
- Give yourself a pat on the back and reward yourself with whatever will motivate you to stay with your exercise regimen.
