Effective, consistent exercise will not only
improve your overall health and fitness, but will also improve your
appearance, energy level, and social interactions. You need to keep
that ultimate goal in mind at all times.
One way to stay motivated is to constantly remind
yourself that a worth-while pay-off lies ahead; a new, healthy, strong
you is emerging. Look forward to the many psychological benefits as
well: confidence, self-esteem, and relief from depression, anxiety and
stress.
Goal-setting is another great way of staying
motivated. Goals focus your workout program and clarify what you are
trying to achieve. As you attain each goal, you gain encouragement and
further motivation.
Another way of assuring that you stay motivated
is to make exercise fun. If you perceive your workout as a chore, you
more than likely will not stick with it. Try doing something different.
For you this may be riding a bike or walking in a different location
than you are used to.
Change is difficult for many people. However,
if you have the willingness to work through the initial emotional discomfort
as you move step by step through a safe and effective program, you will
find the confidence, commitment and determination that will ease the
way.
