When you are young, you can get by solely on pizza and fun, but as you cross over to the wiser side of 30, it's time to begin considering good health more seriously . It isn't easy to start or maintain a good exercising regime --say one hour a day , four or five times a week.Mercifully , there are a few things that can help...
1 TAKE IT SLOW
Start with five minutes, or just start with wearing your shoes. Don't set unrealistic targets for yourself as there are chances that you may fail. Just say to yourself that whenever you step out for your workout regime in a week, you will do it for at least five minutes. And don't let anyone mock you or deter you -if they do, ask them to mind their own business. Consistency is the key and if you are regular, you become more focused and your stamina, too, increases.
2 COMPETE WITH YOURSELF
Do not get an exercising buddy . Other people are very irritating, they are always better at these things. They don't mind sweating, they don't mind the heat, soon they begin to enjoy exercising -in a month you'll be questioning your choice in friends and within six your trust in humanity would be crushed. Nope. Go solo. Track your walks: the only record you need to break is your own.
3 KEEP TRACK
Whether you make notes of your fitness sessions, or use an app to track it, keep a note of your it. Take a week at a time. Say this week you went once for five minutes, which is already too hateful, next week your goal is very simple: to repeat this effort. Don't put any pressure on yourself to do anymore till one day you might want to do six minutes and another 10. Another week you might want to go twice.
4 DON'T GET BLINDED BY CONVENTIONAL THINKING
So you went right back to the couch, of course, after doing say six weeks of five-minute walk one day a week. You could not up your exercise by even a minute more, naturally . You stopped exercising and now it's been three weeks since you last wore your sneakers. I've done all of this, many times over, in the last decade so I am not moved.Just try again. Repeat from the beginning and get going because not doing something for a few weeks does not mean you've stopped doing it, or given it up, it simply means that you didn't do it for a few weeks.
5 DON'T EXPECT TO LOVE IT
No, it never gets better. Exercising is hard work; there's no point pretending that you are going to start loving it eventually . Do it like you eat your daily vitamins (or will, with age). Those people who say “running is my life, it is a part of me“ are those irritating people mentioned above whom one must avoid at all cost (mute them) -however, what exercising will do is result in tangible benefits. You feel more energetic, you lose weight, your clothes fit better as your muscles get toned, and the sense of achievement after a workout completed successfully (even for five minutes) is immense -it is a great high. It will be worth it.
