All of us know that it is good to exercise. But most of us don't do it. It is very similar to brushing teeth at night. We all want to do it. We all know it is good. But when it comes to doing it, most of us are like... "naaah! let me try tomorrow". So, how do we solve it?
First set a realistic goal. It maybe to improve your stamina or to train for a 10 K run or (the most popular one) to lose weight.
When? Where? What? How?
Are you waiting for this December? To get an offer at a gym and start your fitness journey? Please don't. The only right time to start working out is NOW.
Take small steps - Don't be over ambitious. Start with walking for twenty minutes and gradually increase the time. Increase the speed. Then start walking regularly and then look out for some exercise of your interest like Aerobics, Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, Swimming, Badminton or gym. The options are plenty. Pick whatever you enjoy and fits your schedule.
Track - If you don't track what you do, how can you improve???
All of us have smartphones. There are a wide variety of apps to track. Endomondo , RunKeeper, Track Runner etc. have good interface. If you need a boost from social media, share your workout !
Stop making excuses - "I am busy". Is this your reason? Then you need to manage your time better. You can spare at least half an hour for your health!
Try to get in touch with people who share a similar, if not the same goal. Add friends on Endomondo or make a WhatsApp group with such friends. This will keep you motivated!
Get out and get going!
