Top 10 Ways To Stick To Your Workout
Keep exercising – you'll be glad you did
1. Show up and book it
Plan your workout in advance. Lack of planning continues to be the biggest reason people fail to work out. Ninety percent of people finish their workout if they just show up.
2. Make a date with a friend
Making a commitment to someone helps you actually keep it. Be sure to find someone on your same fitness level so you both will work toward similar goals.
3. Invest in a trainer
If you don't know what you’re doing when you get to the gym, it pays to hire someone who does. A personal trainer will correct your form to make sure you produce results and avoid injuries.
4. Find a happy place but watch the rut
The “perfect” exercise is the one you’re happiest doing, so make sure you find yourself wanting to work out. With that being said, don’t let your routine become as familiar as “Friends” reruns. Vary your routine day to day and completely change it every three weeks.
5. Cut a soundtrack
Leave the slow songs for the sappy. High-tempo music is a better distracter.
