Start with clear vision and goal in mind. Once we have an idea, then we can start to work on our strategies. We need to formulate a plan. For example, aim to exercise three days per week.
NHS recommend to exercise at least150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week. Finding what we like more will greatly improve possibility to adhere to our goal.
Emphasize “process” short term goal over “outcome” short term goals. Be realistic with your plan( if you have just started and you can do 5 pushups at one time, don’t set a goal to be able to complete 20 pushups within a month)
Put exercise plan on your weekly calendar so you don’t find excuse not to do it. The easiest thing is to find excuse, stay goal oriented, focus and know you can do it. For instance, come up with plan B, if something ,messes up your schedule, simply chose another time or day in a week and don’t be hash on yourself if you miss a workout that day.
I believe we can almost always find time for exercise. Let it be on top of your priorities and stay positive, accept “no pain, no gain” mindset and when your mind tells you to skip exercise, just don’t listen to that “advice” and do it.
Follow your plan and look forward to every day.
