讓你運動持之以恆的十個訣竅 Keep exercising- you'll be glad you did by Michele Promaulayko
1. Show up and book it
Plan your workout in advance. Lack of planning continues to be the biggest reason people fail to work out. Ninety percent of people finish their workout if they just show up.
2. Make a date with a friend
Making a commitment to someone helps you actually keep it. Be sure to find someone on your same fitness level so you both will work toward similar goals.
3. Invest in a trainer
If you don't know what you're doing when you get to the gym, it pays to hire someone who does. A personal trainer will correct your form to make sure you produce results avoid injuries.
4. Find a happy place but watch the rut
The "perfect" exercise is the one you're happiest doing. so make sure you find yourself wanting to work out. With that being said, don't let your routine become as familiar as "Friends" reruns. Vary your routine day to day and completely change it every three weeks.
5. Cut a soundtrack
Leave the slow songs for the sappy. High-tempo music is a better distracter.
6. Write it down
Record your fitness goals in a journal and track your workouts. Note the exercises that make you feel good and produce results.
7. Work with him
Sharing activities with your partner is a surefire way to stick together. Exercise releases neurohormones that make people feel happier, more motivated and less anxious.
8. Take a chance and streak
Adrenaline-spiked adventures like rock climbing will help you better manage stress in everyday life, according to a study from Texas A & M University. By streak we mean for you to see how long you can go without missing a workout. Then try to beat that record.
9. Reward yourself
Celebrate reaching your goals by treating yourself to whatever you want. Book that appointment for a massage, or take a long, hot bubble bath. Reward yourself now because sometimes that short-term reward might be the only evidence of your long-term success.
10. Show off
A brand new haircut or fresh-out-of-the-box running shoes can be just the appearance boost you need for a great lift in the gym. And when you feel better about yourself, you're going to function better.
