It can be challenging to find time to
work out, but the long- and short-term benefits make it a necessary aspect of
achieving overall health. Regular physical activity can help you reach and
maintain optimal weight, increase energy, and enhance cardiovascular fitness.
Here are some tips to help you get on the track to making positive changes:
1. Change your daily habits. We've all heard the advice to park farther away or
take the stairs, because it works. Set a goal to take the stairs at work every
other day.
2. Pace yourself at the gym. Everyone is there for the same reason, so don't be
embarrassed if you're going a little slower. Use light weights for strength
training, and limit yourself to 2-10 minutes on the stationary bike when you
first start out. You'll find that your stamina will quickly improve.
3. Take care of yourself. Wear the proper footwear, removable layers or light
clothing, and avoid dehydration by drinking more water than you think you need.
4. Get encouragement.
Join an exercise class, hire a personal trainer, or enlist a friend for morning
walks. It's more fun if you don't go it alone.
