It’s the beginning of the school year for teachers, parents
and older students. And the time of year when people often set out to
accomplish things like eating healthier and making exercising a habit. I will be the first to acknowledge that is
sometimes easier said than done. But it
is doable.
These 5 tips will make it easier.
1. Make
it convenient. The easier you make
it for you to complete your workout the more likely you are to stick to a
routine.
a.
Exercise
at home or at a gym not far from home or work
b.
If
you are going to workout in the mornings, take your clothes out before you go
to sleep.
c.
For
evening or after work workouts, take your clothes with you when you leave home.
d.
Plan
your workouts ahead of time so you know exactly what you are going to and don’t
have to waste time figuring out what to do.
2. Choose
a time of day that works for your schedule. Do you prefer mornings or
evenings? Which one are you more likely to have a conflict with? Be honest with yourself and choose a schedule
that you can stick to.
3. Find
a workout that you enjoy. When you are trying to create a habit, it is
important to find a workout that you like. Don’t enjoy the treadmill? Don’t do
it. Take a dance class or kickboxing. If you like your workout, you will do it.
If you don’t like it, you won’t think twice about skipping it!
4. Get
an accountability partner. Having
someone with similar goals or that understands your goals (and what it takes to
accomplish them) can be a strong tool for helping you reach your goals. You can
hold each other accountable for food goals or workout goals. You can physically
see each other, just check in via text or social media or only check in when you
need a little extra push. Make it work for you!
5. Set
goals. Goals help maintain
motivation by giving you something to push towards. Break your ultimate or big goal down into
smaller goals and work towards the small goals. They will ultimately add up to
your big goal.
