Exercise
Perhaps, you can entice yourself with some ways to challenge your reasons for not working out. Turn your dread for exercise into passion. Change up a “quitter” trend with enthusiasm. Give up not knowing how to exercise. Start to see results. Put a twist into your lack of time with motivation for exercise. All may be accomplished, as follows:

  • Be realistic and set sub goals.

Typically, it takes 12 weeks of fitness training to see results. So, set sub goals and reward yourself accordingly. Be certain to incorporate goals to reach and exceed at least 25 minutes of aerobic exercise at your target training heart rate involving one foot off the floor, such as, a walk in the park, a run, or a bike ride. Add to this muscular strength training to build endurance and to help allow for smooth body contouring following weight loss.

  • See a personal trainer for a free training session and learn about your target heart rate for fitness training.

Consider retaining a personal trainer for at least 12 weeks to help ensure that you see results. After all, they know how you can obtain results from your workout.

Remain in your target training heart rate during exercise, use light weights for strength training, warm up before exercise, stretch your muscles, cool down after exercise, and take a break between exercise days.

Try a ballroom dancing or another type of dance class. Explore a hiking trail or a climbing wall. Join a local sports team.
