Fitness.....
nah, I'd rather a nice cup of coffee....
Are
you more of a "couch potato" than an "active" sport fanatic?
You know all the reasons why you should do some sport.....health,
heart, fitness etc but the reality of making yourself head down
to the gym or the football pitch after a long hard day at work
is the last thing that you feel like doing... and that is putting
it mildly. A nice hot cup of coffee in front of the television
is much more appealing . . ..
But,
seen as you know all the reasons for getting active I'll just
get down to the reason why you are reading this - you need the
motivation for fitness. Get yourself into a routine...sometimes
you'll just have to make yourself go but be active and you will
soon feel and see the difference!
But
why is that the thought of exercise is sometimes so unappealing?
It is all in your head - yet there is that knowledge that you
would feel better if you just went and did it. And it's true,
you do feel better so just get out there and do some sport!
Make
it fun
-
Do something you enjoy, be is Salsa dancing classes to friendly
tennis matches.
- Find
someone with a similar mindset - Join a club
- Recharge
yourself in the afternoon -ensure that you have eaten enough
to sustain you through the exercise.
- Reward
yourself with a little something afterwards
- Keep
a record of your sporting activities - it is good to look back
on and see how much you have actually done. Include in that
things like walking to the shops for the Sunday paper.
Remember
if you are new to sport or trying to get back into it,
then take it easy and don't expect too much of yourself too soon.
Create variety - several sports. |
