Happy Wednesday!
I am certain I am not alone in my attempts to stay motivated to exercise during the holiday season. See tips below are some ways to combat this. Good Luck!
- Change your exercise routine every four to six weeks
- Paste a picture of yourself at your ideal on the refrigerator door
- Schedule exercise as you would a business meeting
- If you can’t get in your full exercise time, break it up into 10-minute increments
- Wear a pedometer. Challenge yourself to get in a certain amount of steps per day (experts say 10,000 per day is the average of fit people)
- Find an accountability buddy or group. On the days your motivation lags, your friend(s) can be your cheering section.
- DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE NEW YEAR! Many people make New Year’s resolutions to get back in shape. It can be harder to adopt a completely new lifestyle after the busy holidays.
- Use exercise as a stress reliever. The holiday season brings a lot of stress due to how much you many need to do to prepare, travel... This is a benefit to having a home gym because it is easily accessible for any moment. Working out is just as good for your mental health as it is for your physical.
