FITNESS GUIDELINES

better you are sleeping. These kinds of additional beneﬁts will continue to keep

you motivated if you make them just as important to you as weight loss.

Additionally, try not to view exercise as punishment. Look at it as an investment

in your health. If you don’t feel motivated to workout one day, think of something

that is appealing to you that is active, and change your workout. Try not to let

your workout become routine or mundane, and always remember that some

exercise is better than none at all. So, if you feel you are not motivated to

continue, stop your workout early, or skip a day. It just might be the thing you

need to get you excited about your next workout.

Possibly the most important thing is to keep progressing your exercise

program slowly. Big increases in time or intensity can set you up for injury, and

cause you to drop out. Unless you are a world-class athlete, there is no reason

to workout at world-class levels. Remember to give yourself some days off and

get proper rest.

Finally, try to anticipate lapses. If you are traveling, or your schedule is becoming

busier, and you are fearful you may get off track, try planning ahead. For

example, book a hotel that has a workout facility or change up your workout so

that you keep your interest high and your boredom low. The bottom line is you

must be creative and innovative to keep up your ﬁtness program. With some

imagination and planning, it is easy to do.

Exercise is one of life’s joys. It energizes you, helps you look and feel better and

puts you on the road to better health. Your home ﬁtness equipment and gym is

worth its weight in gold. Congratulations on making the choice to get started!
