When it comes to fitness routines and exercise, many people find themselves
failing to achieve their goals. Here's a few tips and tricks
that might help you with sticking to your routine and achieving
fitness success.
Set Daily Goals
|
In the morning, write down one thing that you want to accomplish
that day. People who set long term goals tend to give up because
their goal is not being accomplished in one day.
|
Work Out with a Friend
|
If you're not in the mood to exercise, your friend will be the
small motivation you need to get you going that day. You wouldn't
want to leave your friend stranded at the gym, would you?
|
Do Something You Enjoy
|
Exercise is not just running on a treadmill and lifting weights.
When planning a fitness routine, try incorporating things you enjoy
- whether it be swimming, soccer, tennis, etc. When you are doing
something you enjoy, you'll tend not to get bored and give up.
|
Be Realistic
|
Don't push yourself too hard or set an impossible goal that you
know is impossible for you to achieve. You will be more motivated
to continue your exercise routine if you see that your small goals
are being accomplished.
|
Think Positive
|
Write one positive thing about yourself in a journal each day.
It is extremely important to feel good about yourself. If you're
having a bad day, you can look in your journal and remember all
of the positive things you noticed about yourself.
|
Rest
|
Even body builders have at least one day of rest in-between their
rigorous exercise routines. Your body needs at least a day of rest
after an exercise routine so it can rebuild muscles and simply rest
up. Listen to your body - If you feel too tired or week to exercise
one day, you probably need a day's break.
