How to Start Exercising and Stick to It: Making Exercise an Enjoyable Part of Your Everyday Life
Exercise doesn’t have to be boring, painful, or all-consuming. These tips will help you start an exercise routine that you’ll actually enjoy and stick to
You already know there are many great reasons to exercise—from improving energy, mood, sleep, and health to reducing anxiety, stress, and depression. And detailed exercise instructions and workout plans are just a click away. But if knowing how and why to exercise was enough, we’d all be in shape. Making exercise a habit takes more: namely, the right mindset and a smart approach. Whatever your age or fitness level—even if you’ve never exercised a day in your life before—there are steps you can take to make exercise less intimidating and painful and more fun and instinctive.
Donovan Baldwin’s insight:
As I said in my article, 4 Tips on How to NOT Quit Your Next Exercise Program, exercise is actually easier than most people imagine.
In fact, the hardest thing about exercise for most people is getting started. The second hardest part is sticking with it.
If you are doing it right, the exercise itself should NOT be a turn-off.
Sure, some people will have the willpower to stick with ANY exercise program, but, most won’t. That’s why it’s important to find exercise activities you enjoy. It won’t always be “fun”, but, if you feel good about what you are doing, you are more likely to do it.
Another aspect of this approach is that, as you become more fit and experience the health benefits of exercise, you will probably learn to enjoy exercise for its own sake.
