Exercise Tips

Exercise Tips

Decide what you will do, how long, where (and with whom)

• Choose an exercise you enjoy and can do that you can stick to for life eg. walking
• Aim for about 30 minutes exercise and schedule it into your day
• Do it where you feel comfortable
• Exercise with a friend or group if you want to
• Make a commitment to it and follow through even if you don't feel like it at first
• Use a variety of exercises during the week to keep it interesting
• If the weather isn't good, dance at home like I do or choose something else
• Give yourself some changes and challenges later once you get used to it
• Use music to motivate yourself and add extra enjoyment as I do if needed
• If you have kids take them with you to multitask (preferably not on the phone)
• Enjoy the fresh air and change of scenery, its good for your mind as well
• If you do eat afterwards, choose healthy foods
• Start small if you have to and build your way up
• You don't have to go to a gym but if you want to you can get used to it
• Don't let excuses keep you from your goals
• Even housework counts towards your daily exercise quota
• Give yourself a day off once a week and relax
