We’ve all been there: we go to the gym for a few days, and then we give in because it’s too tiring. Even though you have great determination in the beginning, you find it difficult to make daily exercise a habit. So, how can you do it?
A. Plan the time
Take your day and break it into hours on a piece of paper. It’s suggested by many experts that you exercise in the morning. Not only do you burn more calories at that time, but it will make you energetic.
B. Choose your exercise
What do you like to do? Whether it’s swimming, running, cycling, or something else, find something you enjoy. If doing the same thing every day makes you bored, do something different. Change and make it fun!
C. Set your goal
What do you want to get out of this? Whatever it is, write it down. Put a note by your bed with that goal written on it to motivate you to get up in the morning and actually get out the door.
D. Stick to your plan
Once you decide that you’re going to do something, stick to it. Don’t think that it will be easy. If you can make it through the first few weeks then you’re fast on your way to making exercise a habit.
What exactly does building a habit do for you? Most importantly, it makes exercise a priority (优先的事物) in your life. People who have a habit of exercising won’t feel right if they don’t get in their daily exercise time.
