Let's face it: You want to exercise, but you can't seem to get started. You've got a million excuses: "It's too cold", "I'm too tired", or even, "I don't have time".
We all know that exercise is good for us, but we often find ourselves struggling to get out of bed and into our workout gear. Whether you're trying to fit in a run before work or squeeze in a few poses after dinner, there are plenty of ways to make sure that your workouts happen without feeling like they're taking over your life. Here are just four easy ways:
Start by making a list of everything you love about working out (you know, like "It makes me feel strong" or "I can't wait to see how many burpees I can do"). Then, add some things that make you feel good about yourself when you're done with a workout (like "I'm proud of myself for sticking with it" or "I love knowing that I'm helping my body stay healthy").
Get a workout buddy: Having someone to exercise with can make working out feel more like fun than a chore. And it's not just about motivation – studies have shown that people who work out with a partner tend to push themselves harder and see better results.
Make it convenient: If you can't find the time to get to the gym, there are plenty of at-home workout options that can be just as effective. And if you're short on cash, there are dozens of free or low-cost workout apps and websites that can help you get in shape.
Set yourself up for success: If you know that you're more likely to work out if you have the right gear, make sure to invest in some comfortable workout clothes and shoes. And if you're worried about getting bored, mix things up by trying new activities or signing up for a class at the gym.
Exercising doesn't have to be this big scary thing. It can be as simple as going out for a walk or doing some stretches in your living room. And once you start getting the hang of it, it'll be fun! Just like any new hobby, it takes some practice at first— and by following these simple tips, you can make exercise a part of your daily routine – without feeling like it's a drag.
So get out there and start moving!
