Do you ever fight the exercise battle?
Year after year I have fought this battle. My intentions are always good. My plans seem to be very sound at the time. But then something happens.
A bad day at work, or the weather turns ugly. An unexpected trip out of town or a family issue, it doesn’t take much.
I stick to my plan for a few weeks, sometimes even months. Then it happens. Something comes up, yes, one of those issues.
A missed day here, then another… before I know it, a week has passed and I haven’t even been to the gym.
Do you know what I mean? Have you been there? I’m sure you have at some time or another.
So today, I started back on my exercise program, after one of those lost weeks. As I exercised I started to remind myself of the things that always help me stay on track. I decided to share them with all of my friends on Bleacher Report.
I hope these few tips can help you beat those exercise demons.
1) Get a Gym Membership.
I’m sure there will be debate on this one so let me explain. There is nothing more disturbing to me than money wasted. So, if I’m paying for a gym membership, then I will most likely use it on a regular basis.
Others may like the idea of not leaving the house. I can understand that as well.
Of course sometimes, getting out of the house is an incentive as well, especially for those of us with kids.
2) Find a piece of exercise equipment that you really like.
I love the elliptical!
