When we talk about exercise, we nearly always refer to
physical exercise which leads to physical exertion of the body. Making the body
do a physical activity results in a healthy or healthier level of fitness and
both physical and mental health.
Exercise not only aims to maintain or enhance our general
health but also helps to combat various diseases by reducing a person's risk of
hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol and diabetes etc.
All this, yet we are not ready to get up and pump our muscles.
All this, yet we are not ready to get up and pump our muscles.
So, what’s actually stopping us?
We’re familiar with the typical excuses like we’re too busy;
too tired; it’s too boring; and confusing, etc.
But, keeping aside all these excuses, just stick to these
key rules to motivate yourself and make exercising a fun-activity like never
before.
I. First
Things First:- Get the Right Equipment
Before you begin, be certain that without the correct
equipment, all your efforts will get squandered.
If you’re just starting out, you can save a fortune by selecting
a few basics like- comfortable training shoes; hand weights; resistance bands
rather than investing a considerable amount of money in heavy weightlifting
machines.
II. Be
Realistic:-
Wondering why an intense workout for a day or two hasn’t
pumped and bulked up your biceps is something most amateurs end up doing and
ultimately destroying their morale.
Set short-term goals that are achievable and that you can
measure as well as longer-term goals to make remarkable progress.
III. Harness
The Power Of A Community:-
Break a sweat with a friend or join a club. Not only will it
be a great way to catch up their latest news but it may even improve your
performance.
It’s a great way to socialize and meet new people who are
interested in the same activities as you.
This for sure will galvanize you to work harder without
quitting.
IV. Pair Your
Workout With A Treat:-
Treat yourself to something you enjoy, for instance, you can
listen to an audio book, or watch your favorite TV show while on the treadmill
or else you can gift yourself a pair of your favorite shoes.
This way you can celebrate the milestones achieved, which in
turn, gives you some impetus to keep going.
V. Abide By
The Commitments:-
Being healthy isn’t a decision you make once—it’s one you make
every day. Recommitting to your goals is necessary to keep yourself on track.
Remind yourself of your goals and take some time to
appreciate how far you’ve come in reaching them.
“A little progress each day, adds up to big results”
