Top 5 Quick ways to make exercise a habit

We all always wanted to do exercise daily, and we start and do it for 1 or 2 weeks but then we break the consistency.Ya, it’s true, right? Exercise is a habit that keeps us fit and healthy.

It’s not necessary that to go to the gym or any elsewhere and make muscles and look like a bodybuilder, just a daily habit to make and to practice. It’s important to keep our body in shape as it makes us confident, stress-free and keeps us away from body pains. It plays an important part in life.

Here are some quick ways to start with exercise as a habit, SO let’s see.

 

SET PERFECT TIME.

Stick to time, decide when to do exercise morning-evening, as it will make remind of exercise at that time perfectly. I prefer that early morning time is best for exercise because our brain runs faster and mind is fresh and ready to perform a task. It makes doing exercise more enjoyable and energetic. So, bring up with schedule set a reminder or alarm on your smartphone so that you can get a reminder daily. As you stick to your exercise daily routine, if by instinct you didn’t do exercise a day you will feel that day was incomplete, something is missing. It will be your daily habit, and not be delays.

 START SHORT AND LESS.

At first start exercise whatever you’re like cycling, running, or anything with short periods 20 min or 30 min it will make your gain the habit. As getting to exercise pick up some easy exercise so that you do not get bored or tired, and break the consistency. As you all know “slow and steady wins the race” this habit is very useful. As you begin with enthusiasm, energy, and if go for much more you will end up burned and will break this habit. Later increase the amount of time and exercise gradually your body will pick it up. EXAMPLE: IF YOU RUN 2 ROUND OF 100M FIRST DAY AFTER WEEK MAKE IT 3 ROUNDS, THEN INCREASE DISTANCE NEXT WEEK TO 150M. Don’t increase intensity and distance at the same time.

 MAKE YOUR WILL STRONG

When your ‘why’ is clear ‘how’ is easy. Make exercise a pleasure; it will increase your chance of being consistent. As if you take or associate it with pain, you will get away from this habit. Make your willpower strong about it, so that you will complete it for whatever it takes. Enjoying the morning sky, feel the silence and it will make you happy and you will enjoy doing it. With no motivation or willpower, you can’t reach out more. Focus on finding a way, just tie up shoes and get a bottle full of water and start your task.

 TAKE REST

Taking rest is very important between exercises it helps in recovering the strength. And it's ok to give a body relaxation for one day a week by just doing easy exercise, not like other 6 days, like walking, meditating, etc. Because to maintain that habit it is necessary. To make habit formation successful it’s ok to have rest sometimes, to regain the energy. So, don’t forget to take a rest.

 FOCUS ON PROCESS AND BE CONSISTENT

Directly approaching on result or goal is not correct means “I have to lose 15 kgs in 4 months” it’s better to focus on a workout and believe in the process this will lead you to success. Establishing a strong base makes building more strong, so in beginning, focus on building this a habit. Once you make exercise a habit, you will have many ways to improve. Nothing can stop you if you focus on being consistent and not miss a day. One member, Charles, set a rule for himself where he couldn't stay in the gym for more than 5 minutes in the beginning. He had to go every day, but he wasn't allowed to stay for 6 minutes. He was focused on building the habit of not missing workouts. After doing that for a month or two, he had established a routine of going to the gym and he started to focus on doing more difficult workouts. Today, Mitch is over 100 pounds lighter. (Which, to be fair, is not just the result of exercise, but also diet and lifestyle changes.)
