1. Make Goals That are Realistic and Specific
Instead of wanting to “get fit,” make sure your goal is definite and doable (e.g., “exercise 3 times weekly for half an hour”).
2. Plan When You Will Work Out
Plan workouts as you would any other important meeting. Put these tasks on your schedule and structure everything else around them.
3. Try to Do the With Fun
Creating a habit of exercising becomes easier when you enjoy the activity—test out a variety of sports and classes.
4. Start Small
Making big changes all at once might not be a good idea. Start by doing sessions that are easy and increase their intensity or length gradually.
5. See How Much You Have Gained
You can use a journal, app or calendar to record what workouts you did. Watching yourself improve gives you motivation.
6. Have someone you can be accountable to.
Exercise with a buddy, join an activity or mention your goals to someone who will motivate you.
7. Prepare Ahead
Having your clothes ready or your gym bag packed the night before prevents you from making excuses.
8. Give room for changes and be flexible.
Life happens. If you skip a workout, try not to be upset—get back to exercising when it’s convenient for you.
9. Reward Yourself
As outside achievements are made, offer the person a different form of reward (a new toy, a movie night at home, etc.).
10. Make Sure You Remember the Reason Why
Try to remember often the reasons you want to be active such as better health, stronger energy and less stress.
Summary:
Being consistent in your fitness means to exercise often, enjoy it, observe your achievements and treat yourself well. Focus on making small goals, be flexible and keep your motivation in front of you!
