It is easy to talk yourself out of exercising. Even when you have the best intentions to work out, excuse are so easy to find -“I’m too tired.” Or “I’m busy” or “the weather is bad”. Don’t worry!
Take baby steps. You would never try to run 10 miles on one day, right? When you do too much too soon, you will end up injured and discouraged. Take it easy as you get started. Maybe you only run a quarter of a mile during your first week.
Show the clock who is a boss. Health experts say you should aim for at least 150 minutes of exercise a week, plus weight training at least twice a week. If you work too late to get to a gym, keep a set of weights at home. If you can’t exercise for 30 minutes once, break the exercise up into several sections, for example, 10 or 15minutes once.
Keep it real. You’re not going to lose 30 pounds in a week.
