How To Start An Exercise Routine

9/29/2020

1 Comment

 
Most people start an exercise routine for weight loss, but there are many other benefits.  Try to look at exercise as a gift to yourself and weight loss being a nice side effect.  It will take the pressure off and make it more fun, and more fun means you are more likely to do it and stick with it.

If you are focused on weight loss, remember all the other reasons exercise is beneficial, this will help you stick to your goals.  Exercise relieves stress, lowers the risk of chronic diseases and also provides some much needed “me time”. 
Keep it simple and make it fun.  Be sure to wear good socks and shoes and make an appointment with yourself.  Put it in your calendar.  Do it first thing in the morning, on your lunch break or even after dinner.  It can be as simple as going on a walk or doing some yoga.  If you’re walking or running, consider listening to your favorite music or an audiobook.  You can even call a friend to catch up!  Other ideas include  the tons of videos and classes on YouTube or Zoom for everything from dancing to kickboxing.  Aim for 3x a week, but for the first month, just aim to make it a habit.  Comment below with your favorite form of exercise!

Thank you. I just signed up for October virtual sessions via the Senior Center to get re-started. I run/walk everyday but need to get back on track with weight training and yoga.
