Wanna know a secret? Everyone feels challenged about getting and staying fit. For most people, it's hard just to get up off the couch. So what should you do to make exercise a way of life?
1. Be Consistent
You don't have to be fast or strong, but be consistent. This is key because consistency is the best tip for maintaining a successful fitness regimen.
The difference between success and others who have struggled is working out 4-5 times a week every week. No exercise program in the world works if you don't do it consistently.
2. Follow an Effective Exercise Routine
The top two suggestions:
A.Strength training. Even 20 minutes a day twice a week will help tone the entire body.
B.Interval training. It is an extremely time-efficient and productive way to exercise. In its most basic form, interval training might involve walking for two minutes, running for two, and alternating this pattern throughout the duration of a workout
3. Goal Set
Don't strive for perfection or an improbable goal that can't be met. In other words, don't worry if you can't run a 5K just yet. Make it a habit to walk 15 minutes a day, and add time, distance, and intensity from there.
4. Get and Be happy
Be sure to pick an activity you actually enjoy doing. Love to dance? Take a Zumba class. You can lose weight and get in shape with any type of training or activity.
And choose something that is convenient. Something you can do easily a few times a week.
5. They are called PROS for a reason
Most personal trainers can help you determine what types of exercise you need most by giving you a fitness assessment. A trainer can help you focus on your weakest parts and help you to improve your overall fitness.
