Making exercise a social, enjoyable event
helps keep you motivated. Find a friend or group
of friends that want to get started on improving
their health and energy. Explore different
activities to find the one you enjoy. Schedule
your workout sessions as you do dinner out or a
weekend picnic. Take time for yourself and if it
is an exercise the whole family enjoys, use it
as family time. In today’s busy world, family
sometime takes a back seat. Our families are the
most important people in our lives and we need
to let them know that. Keeping yourself in the
best health possible is not only for you, but
for them as well.
Think of something you have always wanted to
do, like horseback riding, swimming or tennis
and go for it. If you choose an activity you
have always been interested in, you are
achieving a goal and using that goal to improve
your health. Remember to start slowly and work
up to your potential. There can be a risk with
any exercise if you don’t prepare your body
for the changes in activity.
So many people tell me they know they need to
do something, some even say they want to get
started, but keep finding excuses not to
exercise. Everyone needs to learn the benefits
of exercise. Once you know how much better you
feel, you WILL find the time. Making exercise
fun will not only help you feel better, but you
will actually look forward to it.\
