Get Motivated to Exercise Today
Do you find it hard to commit to exercising regularly? Or even exercising at all?
If the answer is yes, maybe you just haven't found a reason to make it worthwhile. Maybe you haven't found the right type of exercise for you.
There are many benefits to getting fit. You'll get in shape and you'll have more energy. Resistance training with weights, tubing or yoga will help prevent osteoporosis and ease the pain of arthritis. Plus you'll firm up, burn more calories and look better. Cardiovascular exercise is good for the heart and lungs. Many of our physical problems can be relieved with a little attention.
We've heard the benefits of exercising but are they enough? Why is it sometimes hard to stick with an exercise program or make a commitment to get started?
Exercise should feel good while you are doing it. It should be enjoyable. You should see instant benefits in the way you feel. Moving and stretching your body feels good after sitting at a desk all day. Going for a walk in the fresh air will make you feel good and invigorated.
It may take a while to make the commitment to get started. You may have to think about it and weigh the pros and cons. Perhaps you want to lose weight so you think you should start exercising. Maybe you're stiff or stressed out and think about doing yoga. There are lots of things to think about-and excuses to delay the decision! Here are a few:
It's too cold and windy to go for a walk. There's not enough money to spend on an exercise program. It's too scary to join a class. It's a busy time of year so wait until things settle down. The holidays will come and go as another few pounds creep on.
You don't want to make any hasty decisions. Wait until you are ready. Think about it for a while. But don't wait too long. The stiffness in your shoulders and the lower back pain from inactivity, lying on soft couches and sitting at a desk all day won't go away by itself. If you feel old and out of shape, there is something you can do to start feeling better now. Start moving!
Being fit and feeling good is a choice we make. You can choose to feel young and full of energy instead of old and stiff and sick. Go for a walk and give it some thought. Regular exercise will help you to have a positive outlook on life. Your back will feel better. You'll lose the desire to overeat. You'll be surprised just how wonderful you feel when you're exercising.
