My exercise of choice is walking. I use that time to listen to podcasts which I really enjoy. It’s the only opportunity I really get to do so!
Invite a friend! A very simple way to keep exercising fun is to exercise while your watching your favorite shows. Just to keep you entertained!
To make it more fun and engaging I always listen play songs with stereo beats during my exercise, prepare my exercise stuff earlier.
Try to do exercises which make you happy like dance or getting a walk in your favourite park or even doing any type of exercise with a partner…so both can have fun while engaging in a workout at the same time.
Try a “clothing optional” version of your routine to get you out of your comfort zone. This should help to spice things up, provided your workout is strictly indoors. Be sure to close you curtains and lock your doors! 😉
I exercise while saying my prayers. I know without my prayers things don’t go right so I know I have to say my prayers. My faith in Jesus is strong and I know he is helping me with exercising too!
Celebration is very important. If you’re looking forward to the celebration after you finish, you’ll be more motivated to complete your exercise routine. You can also try being mindful during your exercise. Your body is doing amazing things! Acknowledge that!
Listen to your favorite artists, songs or albums while you’re exercising. If you can find a workout routine on YouTube by an instructor you find engaging and inspiring, makes it even easier.
If exercise is boring, you haven’t found "the right way" for you… Experiment with lots of different forms. I started out with yoga, got bored so at 32 started gymnastics! Now I’m 35 and last year also took up the Brazilian art form capoeira,which I recommend as it is dance, culture and exercise in 1.there are so many free workout vids on you tube, I tried them all til I found my vibe as the Americans say, haha. Ballet, hip hop, Tae kwondo etc. Even running and cycling on a machine can be made more fun by watching something you love at the same time.
Change it up every day with something different to look forward to. I follow up the morning exercise with a 2 mile walk followed by breakfast and meditation.
