Exercise and Fitness – Staying Motivated

1. Start by setting simple goals: That will help to encourage you, and to build and sustain your motivation.

2. Make it fun: Try and choose something that you like to do as you’ll give up quickly if it’s drudgery.

3. Build exercise into your daily routine: Finding time can be hard – and become an excuse. So include simple things like climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator.

4. Write down your goals: Committing goals to paper, and then marking any progress, and then ticking met goals off, is often highly motivating.

5. Rope in other people: Running with a friend, or being part of a team, is a good way of helping each other to keep going, and remaining committed to your fitness plan.

6. Reward yourself. After every session, take some time to savour the good feeling that comes from having exercised.
