How do you stick to an exercise regimen? I always start well and then let it slide.

I used to be exactly the same, (& In all honesty I’m still not the best at sticking to one myself..) however, once I really thought about why I let it slide I found that I’d feel good sticking to the work outs for a short while, then feel a bit overwhelmed and give up. So instead of trying to jump into a full work out 3/4 times a week, I did only a few short exercises daily & increasing slowly every few days.. Once I fit 10 minutes into my morning routine, I didn’t notice adding 30-60 seconds (1-2 exercises) extra every few days. I also work out in the morning as it gives me more energy through the day.. but the main thing that has me sticking to work outs is past my injuries & having a horse - I need to regain my strength back fully & help prevent further risk of injuries. I hope some of this helped & good luck on your journey! Xo

I set reminders for myself and always remember the body needs a pick me up and create a mindset that will push me to workout daily.....

I found the tips in this app - visualizing myself put on my fitness attire, slip on my running shoes, and then just do it. And imagining the sweat the proud feeling I have after every workout makes me just go on with my routine. Hope tgis also lasts .... 16 days and counting.... 🤞🤞🤞

I’m not a huge fan of vigorous exercise so I prefer to do yoga in the mornings to slowly wake up. A few jumping jacks is about the extent of my workout in the mornings, along with walking the stairs at work.

It is hard in the beginning but you have to remember yourself how good it will be for you, maybe say "I will exercise everyday this week" and then when you’re letting it slide say "let’s just do this today and then there will be just X days to the end of the week".

I like to follow workout challenges and do workout that I like the most (ex. I hate working out at home but I love hiking)

I always make sure that I have at least 30 that I’m not doing anything and I keep a yoga mat and weights in my room to remind me.

I just started exercising on a routine about a week ago. I keep thinking about my end result and what I want versus what I have.

Try different things until you find what you really like. Then stick with it until you get used to it. I found I’m motivated by working out with others. I went to a cardio and a kickboxing class for years and became used to the intensity. When the kickboxing class ended, I started working out with the instructor at his house. Now I work out with him twice a week and at the cardio class once a week. It took me a lot of time to get used to this.
