Starting your fitness journey isn’t easy. There are no magic pills, or no get fit quick programs that will make you fit overnight. It takes continuous work and effort to keep advancing forward.
Exercising takes time and persistence. It is great to form as a habit, and is definitely a healthy one to have. Many people have unhealthy habits. Habits that are bad for you are much easier to continue than they are to get rid of. Often, making exercise a habit usually means you have to get rid of another habit to make way.
Chances are, you probably have a reason why you haven’t been exercising. In my opinion any reason not to work out is an excuse. Excuses will keep you from living a healthier life, and they are a way to shift the blame from yourself.
Exercising and getting in to shape requires persistent determination coupled with persistent action. It’s easy to stay in the same place as it’s what we are used to, and it’s easy to put exercise off.
I know I’ve come up with several excuses as to why I can’t exercise. My favorite ones are, “I don’t have time for it”, “I’ll start tomorrow”, and, “I’m too tired to exercise”. These are classic excuses that many people besides me use.
Don’t put it off any longer. It is hard to exercise, and it may bring you pain to start a fitness regimen. However, when you don’t do it, you are hurting yourself and your body, so the pain of exercising is worth overcoming.
What if you don’t have enough energy to exercise? Many people when they come home from work can hardly think about doing anything but taking it easy. Working out helps your body deal with stress better, which will help to give you have more energy. If you want more energy, in the long run working out will help.
Don’t want to exercise? Just tell yourself that you’ll just do it for five minutes. Anyone can exercise for five minutes, it’s easy. Once five minutes is up, you’ll most likely want to keep going, but if you don’t, just tell yourself “five more minutes”.
It takes time to establish a habit. The idea is to continue to exercise and eat healthy, and if you fall off the horse for a day, instead of falling back to your old ways, jump back on the horse and keep trotting along. Don’t let a few days of unhealthy choices keep you from continuing your course. Stay on your journey towards better health and keep pushing forward, because the journey never ends.
