Does something always get in the way the moment you decide to exercise? Try these
easy ways to make fitness an excuse-proof part of your day.
•
Draw up a weekly timetable,
to help organize your time. Try to do something for at least
20 minutes each day, even if it's yard work or going on a brisk walk around the neighborhood.
• Attach exercise to a treat,
such as buying flowers once a week, for completing all of the
workouts you scheduled.
• Buy workout clothing you're excited to wear.
Shop for well-designed, flattering and
supportive gym clothes; you'll be more motivated to work out.
• Have a specially designated drawer for fitness gear
so you can always find them quickly.
• Leave your gym bag by the door—
you’ll always know where it is and it serves as a gentle
reminder that an exercise session might be due.
