1.Make a commitment to yourslef to start getting healthy. Even a daily goal as a simple as taking a 30 minute walk is a great start. Starts small, stick to your commitments, and you’ ll create lifelong habits.
2. Before you go to bed, put out your exercise clothes. That way you can wake up and brainlessly put them on and get moving.
3. Invest in a good pair of workout shoes. Your feet, muscles and joint will be better protected and cushioned and you’ll be more likely to stick to your exercise goals.
4. Choose activity you enjoy. Sports and outdoor adventures are great ways to exercise while still having fun. Add few crunches, push ups and stretches in after your sports and you’ll have complete workout.
5. Subscribe to a good fitness magazine. This monthly motivator will be a great source of information, recipes and ideas that will inspire you to continue.
6. Make small daily, weekly and monthly goals to help move you towards ultimate goals. Write out these goals and hang them where you can see them everyday. Even break out the crayons, stickers and markers to spice up your reminder. You’re never too old to love Crayolas.
7. Always start your workout with warm-up and end with cool down.Not only is it important physiologically, getting your muscles, ready to workout at the beginning and relaxing them at the end. But it also can give you focus at the beginning and a sense of accomplishments afterwards.
8. Losing weight is just not about dieting and cutting calories. Eating the right food is certainly important, but exercise helps to jump start of metabolism, burning more calories, stripping awa body fat and adding muscles to your frame.
9. You can do workout anywhere. In hotel, in a park, in a living room - anywhere . Try this - Go to your favorite park with a resistance band. Use a bend for dips, push ups and step ups. Use band to work your biceps, triceps, shoulders and back. Do some abs and lunges and squats and you’re done. Even in the winter you can cross country ski, snowshoe and snowboard. REMEMBER - FITNESS IS FUN.
