To start exercising, you need a lot of motivation and positive energy. Sometimes it happens that the desire to exercise decreases. There are several reasons for such an occurrence. Above all, don’t overwork yourself. Don’t let physical activity depend on the weather either. Maintain an exercise habit throughout the year.
The following tips will help you stay motivated and exercise regularly, regardless of the circumstances.
SET REALISTIC GOALS
Physical activity should be part of your lifestyle, primarily for health reasons. Set realistic goals and don’t forget what your main motivation is: health reasons, whether you want to lose weight, tone muscles, run a marathon or simply feel comfortable in your body. Don’t force yourself and after achieving the first goal, plan the next one.
GET YOUR EQUIPMENT
Equipment is important for proper and safe exercise, but you don’t have to overstretch your budget. The equipment is consumed depending on the intensity of the training, so plan the expenses in time. Get new equipment on time so you don’t have to interrupt your workout.
CONTROL THE INTENSITY
The biggest mistake that most people make is that they exercise too intensely on the first day and then are overworked, with sore muscles, or with injuries. Keep the intensity at a challenging level, you don’t have to break records in the first few days. On a scale of 1 to 10, keep the intensity at 5-6 for the first month. Over time you will improve your endurance and timing.
EXERCISE EVERY OTHER DAY
When you are full of energy you want to exercise every day and form a healthy habit. However, you will achieve better results with an exercise routine every other day. After a workout, the body needs time to recover, so use that day to improve your eating habits and plan your next workout routine.
PROPER WARM-UP
A good warm-up is very important for optimal results from the exercise, but above all to ensure that you have prepared the body for the physical activity. Choose the style of exercise that suits you. Then choose appropriate exercises in preparation for the physical activity that follows: running, aerobics, weight lifting, etc.
STRETCHING AFTER EXERCISE
Stretching after physical activity is also important. By stretching, you allow easier muscle relaxation and recovery from physical activity.
