Why is it so hard to exercise? Do you have trouble GETTING and STAYING motivated? Do you need more support and accountability?
You KNOW need to exercise and you know WHY but why does it seem so hard to get motivated to get yourself moving?
Exercising is critical for safeguarding your health and setting a good example for your kids.
You CAN do it! You need to develop a good mindset and stay motivated. Change is hard and we think of all the excuses for why we think we can't exercise. Things get in the way and life is stressful. The kids misbehave or just want your attention. The pets need to be bathed, fed and walked. You work day was stressful and you just want to relax. You have a headache. You and your spouse are spatting. You are not getting a long with your family. The house is a mess, laundry is pile up and dishes are in the sink. These are ALL excuses we let get in our way of taking care of ourselves. We have to know WHEN it's time to take care of us and we have to STOP letting the excuses take over our lives.
Having a support system is crucial to your success. Having someone to keep you accountable will keep you motivated to keep going.
Here are 5 tips to get you moving in the right direction and keep you going:
1. Find personal motivation to exercise.
2. Set realistic small goals that will help you get to your final goals.
3. Stop thinking of exercise as something you HAVE to do but something you WANT to do.
4. Plan out your day and schedule time to exercise and MAKE IT HAPPEN.
5. Bounce back from set backs and get back up when you fall.
