Having someone there to push you and cheer for you really makes you Want to do the thing.<br \/>\n2-no lapses. Don\u2019t take a \u201cbreak\u201d from your routine. If I skip a day or the weekend, I\u2019m more likely to have the attitude of \u201coh it\u2019s ok to skip today during the week, I\u2019ll be fine\u201d. And I\u2019ll end up skipping more days that way. So I try not to skip exercises on the weekend or holidays.<br \/>\n3-I remind myself that don\u2019t have to go hardcore All the time. In fact, that\u2019s bad for you! I exercise every day, but Tues, Thurs, and the weekends are stretch days. Or upper body on Tues and lower body on Thurs. By adding in those stretch days, I let myself \u201crest\u201d but I\u2019m still getting my blood pumping.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ewetse S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">1. For the first few times, don&#39;t beat yourself up if you can&#39;t do certain exercises. You&#39;ll eventually manage after some time.<br \/>\n2. Have a reason for exercising or goal that you know you can achieve. Eg, my goal was to first be able to have stamina to actually finish all the exercises.<br \/>\n3. Sometimes you just don&#39;t feel like it, it&#39;s okay, you&#39;ll do it tomorrow.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Chris O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Workout gear out the night before. Do it in the morning to get it done.

Your \u201cwhy\u201d. Having a strong reason why you want to exercise, writing it down and thinking on it regularly. It\u2019s ok if your \u201cwhy\u201d changes, just write down the new one.<br \/>\n2. Make it as easy as possible for you to exercise. Find a time in your day that works best, and at a place that\u2019s convenient. For me first thing in the morning works, before the day gets busy, and before I have time to talk myself out of it. Working out in a space at home or at a gym that\u2019s in a convenient location to your house&#x2F;work&#x2F;etc. will make it easier, cause you won\u2019t have to drive half an hour just to work out.<br \/>\n3. Make it fun! Find friends to go to the gym&#x2F;workout with, and if you enjoy a particular type of exercise keep doing it regularly. Try new things until you find a workout type that works for you. For me, I love the rush that weight training gives me, and yoga helps me feel centred and calm, so I do those often.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sasha Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When u are exercising u NEED<br \/>\nGood music<br \/>\nGood&#x2F;positive attitude<br \/>\nfocus on goal<br \/>\nThis has helped me get to and thru exercise with a good mind set and want to do it more.
