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.
