There is no substitute for exercise to keep the body and mind healthy. It keeps our mind good and reduces mental anxiety. It also keeps the body strong. Sleep is better. Reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc. Despite having so many positive aspects, people cannot exercise regularly. You have to fight with yourself every day. Find out how you can win this battle and focus more on exercise every day.
Stick to a routine
Get yourself used to exercise. So make a routine. Follow it regularly. Of course, easier said than done. So set small goals. Reward yourself for completing them. Suppose, the first goal is to exercise for seven consecutive days. When that is fulfilled, buy yourself something.
Start small
Many people aim to exhaust themselves by working hard when exercising. There is nothing wrong with that. But it is not necessary. Half an hour of exercise every day is enough. One study showed that the weekly required amount of exercise is 150 minutes. As such, not even half an hour, a little more than 20 minutes of daily exercise is required. So start small exercises without setting big goals.
Combine exercise with favorite habits
Suppose you have a habit of listening to music in the morning. Or to have tea. Do some exercise while listening to music or while the tea is heating. Thus combining an existing favorite habit (listening to music) with a new habit (exercise) is called a habit stack. This way you can incorporate exercise into many of your daily routines.
Take time off at the office
We have to sit during office or work hours. Instead of sitting the whole time, take some time out. Maybe it's a lunch break. Fasting may not have that opportunity. But take a short walk between work or before and after meetings. Try to have as many face-to-face meetings as possible. So just as the communication is good, you need to move as well.
Exercise of choice
If the exercise does not feel good even after 100 attempts, you will know that you are doing the wrong exercise. Find out what type of exercise you like. Focus on them. It could even be cycling, hiking, yoga, running or just walking. Remember, you can enjoy exercise only when you enjoy it.
Connect TV and exercise
A large part of our day is spent watching TV. The body sits still for the longest time while watching TV outside the office or work. No need to give up watching TV. But do not keep the body sitting during the exercise. Or run on the treadmill. It will provide variety in exercise, the body will not be lazy while watching TV.
