Add variety. Try not to rely too
much on one activity, add a variety that you can
enjoy. This will help keep exercising from being
boring or routine
Wear comfortable, properly fitted
footwear and comfortable, loose-fitting clothing
that is appropriate for the weather and the activity
Find a convenient time and place
to do activities. Try to make it a habit, but
be flexible. If you miss an exercise opportunity,
work activity into your day another way
Use music to keep you entertained
Surround yourself with supportive
people. Decide what kind of support you need.
Do you want them to remind you to exercise? Ask
about your progress? Participate with you regularly
or occasionally? Allow you time to exercise by
yourself?
Don't overdo it. Do low- to moderate-level
activities, especially at first. You can slowly
increase the duration and intensity of your activities
as you become more fit. Over time, work up to
exercising most days of the week for 30-60 minutes.
Keep a record of your activities
and reward yourself as you meet your goal! Nothing
motivates like success!
