Five Simple Exercise Tips
Every new year thousands of people make the resolution to begin exercising and get fit. Unfortunately the biggest majority of those people don't stick with it for any longer than a week. If you have made the 'get fit' resolution but are not being too successful with it, then these five tips might help you to easily add some exercise into your life.
Tip #1 - Do an Exercise That You Enjoy
If you hate running then don't run. If you hate lifting weights then don't life weights. If you take on an exercise program that is full of exercises that you hate then you will most likely give up fairly quick. There are so many different exercise options available so choose something that you enjoy. Anything that you do that will get you out and moving around is better than nothing, even a 20 minute walk a day is better than doing nothing. Walking is easy, you can do it anywhere and you can change your route and vary your scenery so you don't get bored. Other exercises you might do are dancing, bike riding, swimming, gardening or a favorite sport, the options are huge and I'm sure you can find something that you enjoy.
Tip #2 - Schedule Time to Exercise
If you don't schedule a time in the day to exercise you will find that they day has gone by and you haven't done any exercise. This might happen occasionally and then it will begin to happen more and more often until before you know it you are no longer doing
any exercise at all. It is important to schedule a time in the day to ensure that you do take the time to exercise. Exercise will soon become a part of your daily life if you include it on your 'to-do' list.
Tip #3 - The More You Exercise the More Energy You Will Have
Often we feel that we just don't have enough energy to get up and exercise but you should try and get up and do it anyway. The fact is that the more often you exercise the more energy you will find you have. So even though it is difficult to begin with exercise
when you don't feel like you have energy, you will soon adjust and have more energy than ever. You will begin to feel more energized throughout your whole day and find energy to do much more than you are doing now. Stress is one of the body's biggest energy sappers and exercise is a great way to relieve stress, so this is one more reason why exercising will give you energy.
Tip #4 - Try Different Exercise Routines
If you do the same exercise routine day after day you will soon get bored with it so try and mix things up a little and vary your routine. You can try walking one day and cycling the next and perhaps a yoga workout the next day. There are so many different
types of exercise to choose from that there is no need to stick to the same routine every day.
Tip #5 - Don't Forget to Warm Up
If you forget to warm up before you begin exercising you will soon feel your muscles tightening and will possibly end up damaging your muscles, making it difficult to continue exercising. You can avoid muscle damage by doing some simple warm up exercises to start off your daily fitness routine. Just five minutes of warming up will get your exercise session off to a good start. I hope that these five tips can get you started and help you to continue an exercise routine in your daily life. Don't put off getting fit any longer, start exercising today and start enjoying the many benefits it will bring.
