For October I am participating in the 30-Day Sitting and Rising Coach4aday Challenge. My wife and I were both asked recently how we stay MOTIVATED to exercise daily.
Our responses were similar. Maintaining good health lets us enjoy life.
Fitness and Motivation
This will not be a long post. Motivation is often muddled together with will power and determination. The fact of the matter is doing something based on how you feel has flaws.
What researchers have concluded time and time again is it is habits not motivation that leads us to have certain behaviors. Those habits have to include certain fundamentals. Those are outlined below.
- Priority-You have to make exercising daily a choice and priority.
- Fun-Utilizing your own personable definition make exercising interesting or fun
- Accountability-Having someone you exercise with creates a bond of not wanting to disappoint but not showing up.
- Progress-track improvement not perfection-creating streaks
- Start slow – it is easier to persist with something if it is not daunting in the beginning
