Fitness and physical activity should be fun. If you’re enjoying activity, you’ll have no trouble sticking to your goals.
Here are some tips to enjoy exercise: - Think positive. See it as an opportunity, not a chore.
- Ask someone like a friend, family member or trainer to exercise with you to keep you motivated. The activity will be more enjoyable and you commit to a session that you otherwise may find too easy to get out of.
- Join a local club. This can be an effective way to schedule regular activity and gain a support team of people with the same goals and interests who can provide encouragement and support.
- Get involved in your neighbourhood. Your local community probably has lots of opportunities to be active – from leisure centres and sports clubs to parks, trails, swimming pools and classes.
- Increase activity time and intensity gradually. If you push too hard or too fast, you may burn out. Try not to be impatient – the results will come. Taking shortcuts will defeat your efforts.
- Set yourself a challenge by trying a new activity or entering a community fun run.
- Include a mix of activities to prevent boredom and work those muscles you didn’t even know you had!
- Be realistic. Set short-term goals that are achievable and that you can measure, as well as longer-term goals.
- Review your progress regularly and focus on what you have achieved.
- Reward yourself. Celebrate your efforts and achievements to give you some impetus to keep on going. Treat yourself to something you enjoy, but make sure your rewards match your healthy lifestyle!
