Well, to me New Year is a time to reflect what I have done and achieved during the year and look forward for improvements in the year ahead. New Year provides new opportunities and new commitments to change my life for the better.
If starting a new exercise routine is part of your new year resolution to get healthier, you have come to the right place. I am going to share with you 7 tips for starting your new exercise routine, hope these tips can help you to achieve your exercise goals in the coming year.
Tip #1: If you've been sedentary for a while now, the first thing you should to is to consult your doctor before you begin any exercise program. It is really important to make sure you’re physically up for it. A doctor can advise you on how to approach a new exercise routine and tell you what signs to look for if you’re overdoing it.
Tip #2: Set smaller goals in the beginning. If you're just starting out, don't start setting a goal that can make you feel overwhelming. For example, you promise yourself to go to the gym everyday. If you have a day job and busy schedule, it's unlikely that you can achieve your goal. So, start with a small goal. For example, go to the gym one day a week for three weeks as a starter. Once you've accomplish that goal, step it up. Decide to go to the gym twice a week for another three weeks. Once you’ve accomplished that goal, step it up again. Soon you’ll be going to the gym almost every day.
Tip #3: Reward yourself. Make your goal-setting and achievements fun! When you reach a goal, whether it is a little one or a big one, reward yourself. For example, when you reach your goal of going to the gym once a week, treat yourself a good movie or get a new piece of workout clothing.
Tip #4: Make it a variety. Exercising doesn’t have to be running around a track all the time. Dancing is exercise, walking in a park is exercise, jumping on a trampoline is exercise, as is tennis, swimming, yoga, pilates etc. Find a sport that you enjoy, and reaching your goals will become easy and fun.
Tip #5: Be a bit adventurous, try out different exercises. It’s easy to get into a rut when you’re beginning a new workout routine. In order to keep things interesting and maintain your motivation, consider a few exercises or sports you enjoy. This can make it easier on your body too. For example, if you’re running two or three times a week, consider swimming, walking or riding your bike on the other days. Maybe add aerobics, pilates or yoga to keep your muscles flexible.
Tip #6: Get some friends to exercise together. Friends can motivate you to get to the gym and challenge you to push yourself just a little bit farther than you might if you were working out alone.
Tip #7: Find your best time of day for exercise. If you’re a morning person, then the best time for you to exercise is probably in the morning before going to your office. That means you need to plan to wake up very early in the morning. If you’re a night person, then try to plan your workout in the evening.
Starting a new exercise routine and stick with it consistently is a great way to feel good and healthier. So, make it as your new year resolution and improve your health.
