If you have a problem staying motivated, consider strategies to help you stick with your exercise plan. Get creative or try a few of these suggestions:
- Listen to music or books on tape to keep your mind busy while you exercise.
- Exercise with a partner for support.
- Imagine yourself exercising and rehearse it in your mind every day.
- Set realistic goals.
- Seek support from friends and family, and avoid those who discourage you.
- Don't give up if you miss a day - just get back on track the next day.
- Build some rest days into your exercise schedule.
Remember to reward yourself. For example, if you stick to your plan for a week or a month, you could:
- See a good movie
- Buy new clothes
- Get a relaxing massage
- Buy a great book or a new CD
Congratulations! You're on your way to a healthier lifestyle, increased energy and feeling great. Just keep going, stay active and feel great!
