If you’ve fallen off the exercise wagon (健身车), it can be hard to get back into it even if you know about its advantages. 【小题1】

Step 1: Be gentle with yourself.

You are probably worried that you’re not as fast as you used to be. 【小题2】 If you’re busy judging your performance and what’s not happening, you can’t focus on what it is. Just be brave to start over from where you are now.

Step 2: 【小题3】

Be smart about the frequency and duration (持续时间) of your exercise, especially during your first few weeks back to exercise. Spreading them throughout the week rather than being a weekend warrior (勇士) and gradually increasing your activity levels will help you avoid injury.

Step 3: Make things convenient.

【小题4】 When it comes to finding the time, keep your training short and effective. In this way, you don’t need to think of it as a time-consuming activity. All you need is 15 to 30 minutes of running to keep up your workout.

Step 4: Try getting it done first.

Everyone has a different sweat style, whether you prefer dawn exercise or are more of a night owl. By getting the exercise done first, you have less chance to make excuses to leave out the workout later in the day. 【小题5】 That feels good.
