Starting exercise and Following it

Exercise is an important aspect to stay fit in everyday life.

Do it now!!

Many of us struggle to make exercise as a habit but failed because of one or the other reasons. Everyone knows the importance of exercise, but they unable to implement it in their lives. It improves health, boosts energy, and lightens up the mood. Also, it helps in reducing anxiety, stress as well as depression. To add exercise in their daily routine, one must have the right mind set and a smart approach.

Proper Guidance

The problem is not your busy schedule, disability, or age factor but the bigger barrier is your mind. One reason for this can be a lack of self-confidence or motivation due to which you give up early. I think we all have been there at some point. There is no age category defined. So, you can start exercising at any time. It is never too late. Take it as a fun activity.

Drop your wrong attitude

You don't have to spend hours in a gym or force yourself into painful activities. A little exercise can also give better results to you. You can add a modest amount of physical activities to your daily routine for an intense effect on mental and emotional health.

Don't be a day Dreamer

You can’t get a perfect shape overnight. Expecting too much too soon leads to disappointment. Don't be discouraged or think much about your fitness goals. Instead of observing over results, focus on consistency.

This will improve mood and energy level will boost accordingly, the physical payoff will come in time.

Busting the Excuses

Excuses are easy to make and can be many, but always there is a way to overcome those.

"I hate exercising."

Many of us feel the same. If sweating in the gym on a treadmill doesn't suit you, try to find an activity that you enjoy doing such as dancing, cycling, running, and many more. Whatever it takes but do exercise.

"I am too busy"

Everyone in this world has a shortage of time. So, to overcome this hurdle, one must have to do proper time management. Lots of businessmen daily spare some time for exercise because they knew its importance. It's in you, whether you make exercise a priority or not. It's not necessary to work out for an hour. Short 5-10 or 15 minutes of activity can be effective. If you are too busy during the week, spare some time during weekends.

“Exercise is too difficult and painful.”

No pain no gain is an outdated thought. You don't have to push yourself until you get soaked in sweat. You can build strength and fitness by walking, swimming, gardening, or even cleaning the house.

How much exercise you need to do?

Always remember, something is better than nothing. Going for a walk is better than just sitting. One minute of activity will help you to lose more weight than doing no activity at all. As per, the current recommendations, activities can be done as follows:

150 minutes per week i.e. 30 minutes each day excluding weekends

                       Or 

Two times 15 minutes a week

                      Or

Three times 10 minutes a week

Choice is yours!!  Stay Fit and Healthy!!!
