How to Stay Motivated to Exercise

Posted by Lucy at 01:20
Hello everyone! Today I am going to share my top tips with you on staying motivated to exercise! So, let's delve right in...
1. Find a 'workout buddy'. Yes, the term 'workout buddy' sounds mega-cheesy, but exercising with a friend is so much more fun than exercising alone! Also, when you've penciled in a session together but really can't be bothered anymore, you wont want to let your pal down! Besides, you'll have a great time and feel good after!
2. Wear clothing you're comfortable in. I love wearing my Nike three-quarter length leggings teamed with my pink Berghaus  t-shirt, but if you aren't comfortable in Lycra, don't wear it. Go for whatever you feel most confident in!
3. Change up your routine. By doing the same workout DVD or taking the same route when out on a run time and time again, you'll get bored very quickly, so mix things up a bit! Also, try not to focus on  just one aspect of fitness such as cardio; take an all-round approach as all five aspects compliment one another!
4. Have rest days. These are very important because this is when your body has time to recover. It' actually while you're resting that your body tones up, not while your exercising. You should aim to exercise 3-5 times a week, depending on what you've trying to achieve and how much time you have on your hands.
5. Do exercise for charity. Find out if there is a sponsored walk, run, swim or cycle in your area by simply doing a quick Google search. If you do find one nearby, this gives you something to train towards. By participating in a charity event, you'll be helping a good cause, too!
I hope you liked these 5 tips!
