Get Going
Everyone knows the importance and benefits of exercise. However, how many actually get down to doing it? And, if we do gather the motivation, we either indulge in spurts or overdo it mindlessly. We are barely able to strike a right balance. Any activity becomes easy when you incorporate one element – love! When you start to love doing exercise, your body itself will push you to move. Acquiring that state of love requires intent and initial effort. Once you fall in love with exercise, you instantly experience a surge in health, energy and happiness. You feel liberated from within. Start now, and feel the difference!
Read on for some tried and tested tips to help you reach the state of 'exercise love'…
|
1. Educate the Mind
Take time to read about the health benefits of exercise or even the ill-effects of not exercising. The more you expose your mind to such information, you will sense a subconscious shift within.
|
|
2. Go on a plant based diet
This diet gives you so much energy that automatically you become active. After all, you need to consume all that energy somewhere!
|
|
3. Homework
Yes, working around the house is a great form of exercise. That's why our helpers are so fit! Simple things like ensuring you open the door when the bell rings, fetch the water from the kitchen, take up the duty of setting up the table, throw the garbage outside – every small activity can make a difference. Of course, reducing house helpers will go a long way too!
|
4. Join a group
Dance, sport, yoga, jog, swim – whatever it is that you like, join a group or a class or find a partner. That's instant motivation for you and, of course, when you pay up the fee, that pushes you too.
|
|
5. Don't miss a session
Do you skip brushing your teeth or having a meal after a late night out or a full on party? Why is it easy then to skip a workout session? Make exercise a must-do in your daily routine, the pay offs are worth every effort!
|
|
6. Be Mindful
Don't miss the opportunity to move – take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator, park further away, carry your own shopping bags, stand up every hour for 10 minutes (you can keep an alarm for this), keep the remote controls and mobiles away, play with your kids!
|
|
7. Eat well
The more we indulge in cooked food, the more lazy we become. Increase the raw intake in your diet and witness the spike in your energy levels.
|
|
8. Set a goal
Buy a dress or a jeans smaller than your size and set a goal to fit into it! Sleeping early also helps a great deal.
|
|
9. Announce
Share your exercise routine aloud with family, friends, neighbours. They will help you stay on track.
|
|
10. Watch sports based films
You will realize how discipline, determination and early mornings will lead you to success.
