1. Set Specific, Measurable Goals

Being specific allows you to easily gauge whether or not

you achieved your goal. For example, plan to exercise

for 20 minutes, three times a week. Be sure to track your

progress by writing it down!

2. Use Daily Reminders

Schedule your exercise routine into your calendar like

any other important event. Set up reminders on your

phone. Put your workout shoes and gym back in a

noticeable place to grab your attention.

4. Get Good Shoes

You’re going to be spending a lot of time in them, so

good support is crucial. Replace them once they wear

out, which typically happens between three to six

months.

3. Use a Reward System (That Doesn’t

Include Food)

When you achieve your weekly or monthly goal, treat

yourself to a movie, or buy something nice that you’ve

eyeing for a while. Just don’t reward yourself with cake.

5. Find a Workout Buddy

Someone who will keep you accountable is important

when starting a new exercise plan. It doesn’t have to be

one person— it can be a small group or even a class.

This also makes exercising more fun!

6. Start Slowly

Rome wasn’t built in a day and you won’t become an

exercising champion overnight. Like most things, you

have to work your way up.

8. The Basics Work Just Fine

Fancy equipment isn’t a necessity for a great workout.

Free weights and medicine balls can go a long way.

7. Just Walk

Walking is one of the easiest ways to start exercising.

Purchasing a pedometer can be a great motivating tool

to walk further each day.

9. Utilize Multiple Muscle Groups

Using different muscle groups at once shortens the

length of your workout, giving you more time for the

things you enjoy.
