So for example, 10 pushups done as soon as I wake up.  Don\u2019t think, just do.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anni C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It&#39;s important first of all to recognise the unconscious thoughts that are sabotaging your exercise routine and become aware of them. Then it is to choose the kind of exercise that feels pleasant enough for you and that has a koe threshold to do every day. Start with something easy that you feel you can do every day.  Last piece of advice is to do the exercise mindfully. Focus only on it when Youre doing it. I used to try to make exercise something I&#39;d do on autopilot, to make it feel easier but that actually decreased motivation to do it. By being present while exercising has made it more rewarding to me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ceren F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Its a little complicated but i will try to explain. I use exercise for feeling motivated for other things. Example: if i have to study but dont want to than i do exercise for 15 minutes. After that i feel more positive about studying.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Arnold Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would suggest anyone who want to start exercising routine to follow Chloe Tings free workout programs. I wanted to be stronger and lose some fat. I watched some before and after videos on her workouts and totally got hooked. The results surely vary based on different body type. For me after around 2 weeks my waist went from 70 to 63 cm but my weight did not change much, dropped by 3 lbs<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rene U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In the beginning I started out small, just stretching and one short exercise video, maybe 10 minutes. This seemed manageable for me and something I could commit to consistently everyday even though I am very busy. After I got used to this, I actually started to look forward to it because I felt so much better afterwards; stress relief, powerful, energized, slept better. Next, I asked my husband to exercise with me, together we motivate each other.  From there I started adding more on until I found myself speeding up to 90 minutes at the gym! \u201cWho am I?!\u201d I would think to myself!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Imaculada N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I keep it simple and cycle from 2 or 3 exercise options. If they&#39;re too complicated I just avoid it and having options helps me feel more in control instead of the exercise controlling me.  Right now my options are 1) a yoga video from YouTube 2) a quick walk up and down the street or 3) a three song dance party in the livingroom.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Timothee Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I found something that I love, with an amazing group. Even during stay at home they do live classes everyday and allowed us to buy the kickboxing bags so we could continue our adventure at home.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Luke F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I hate exercising, but I love dancing. So music motivates me, it\u2019s helps me make every little exercise a little dance. I also start simple, I know I don\u2019t like doing it but I must so I make things as fun as possible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lucas Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">the reason why i am motivated to do basically anything is because i know the outcome will help me learn and get to a place i want to be in. i like the feeling of being accomplished and checking something off my to do list. it makes me feel good and the thought of knowing that it\u2019s good for you helps a lot.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Laura N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like the sense of accomplishment, and now that I have been doing it consistently for multiple weeks&#8230;I love seeing the progress.  I haven&#39;t lost a pound, but I repeat work out videos and things I couldn&#39;t do a week ago, now I can.  It may not always be fun but just stop wastimg time and do what you need to do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emily P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I love my body and I like to stay fit to enjoy the little things in life. I stopped paying attention to my health because of work and I found myself abandoning me. Getting back to exercise is the best thing I have done for me. Just find some time to take care of you and you will be amazed by the benefits of exercise. A mirror is a good reminder of who matters most in your life, and that is you!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genesis J.
