Find out how to break free from Exercise Excuses

Do Not Make Excuses for Better Health & Fitness

Getting fit has a variety of benefits, such as: losing weight, toning the body, developing muscles, health benefits and more. Sometimes it’s difficult for a person to develop a healthy habit such as working out every day or a few days a week. They may need to take small steps towards a bigger goal.

How to Break Free

Though starting an exercise routine may offer a wide range of benefits, for some people those reasons aren’t enough to begin. They may find it difficult to commit to 30-45 minutes, 3-4 times a week on obtaining those results if they lack motivation. If this describes you, you may want to get the advice of a personal trainer. They may be able to give you tips of how to implement this into your routine by making it fun. Some people are ecstatic about running outside or doing boot camp while others may find kickboxing or cross-fit more enjoyable.

It’s important to develop healthy habits such as of going for a walk, taking an aerobics class, lifting weights, etc. because it will become easier to do it in the future. You can begin with small increments of time spent on your routine and can build up to longer periods of time. This is especially important in order to overcome plateaus.

The Mayo Clinic has this to say about developing an exercise routine:

‘When you're designing your personal fitness program, consider your fitness goals. Think about your fitness likes and dislikes, and note your personal barriers to fitness. Then consider practical strategies for keeping your fitness program on track.

Starting a fitness program is an important decision, but it doesn't have to be an overwhelming one. By planning carefully and pacing yourself, you can make fitness a healthy habit that lasts a lifetime.’
