Choosing a workout routine is like picking a significant other – you want to be alike but not TOO alike. That’s boring. But when you find a mate OR an exercise routine that feels comfortable AND keeps you challenged, you’ve got the right one!
So if you’re looking to make a good match with a workout, ask yourself these questions.
- What do I enjoy most? Exercising outdoors? In the Gym? At home with a DVD?
- What do I want to achieve? Weight loss? Muscle building? Strength? Or a specific health goal, like lowering your cholesterol or blood pressure?
- Am I interested in swimming? Running? Cycling? Walking? Playing Tennis? Working with weights?
Select one or two activities and set up a schedule. Decide how much time you can PROMISE to spend on your chosen activity. Write it down as a contract with yourself. Post it on the fridge. Stick to it! And after all that, be prepared to change your mind!
If jogging in December is not for you, find another activity you can enjoy. Set new goals and make a recommitment to yourself. The important thing is to get regular exercise month after month, whatever it is and wherever you do it.
