that are most popular with my clients with regards to being consistently active?
Here are the top 6 (of 12):
- Find activities that you enjoy: whether it’s walking, cycling, swimming, an elliptical or rowing machine at home, or jogging … if you like doing something it’s obviously easier to keep doing it!
- Create a routine: create a routine that works for you, whether it’s exercising at the same time each day or week, or finding a workout buddy to keep you accountable. Treat the time allocated to exercising as a priority … like a meeting at work you simply cannot miss.
- Fitness trackers: heart rate monitors will count steps too, and being able to see the number of days per week that you engage in aerobic exercises, also seeing the weekly and monthly summaries, are very effective in spurring people to stick to physical activity goals.
- A daily/weekly planner/time allocation tracker: With the number 1 reason why people don’t exercise being “I don’t have time”, you should keep track of the time you might currently spend exercising, and how MUCH time you might spend sitting and being sedentary … you’ll be shocked at how little you’re active, and how long you’re immobile!
- Measure progress: You can only manage what you measure is true almost universally, ESPECIALLY when it comes to your health, and it both compares current and past performances and creates accountability.
- Friendly competition / find a workout partner: Building some friendly competition into the number of activities you might engage in, and comparing that to what other people at similar stages of fitness do, is often fun, and very motivating.
