We all want to make exercise a priority but some days it is tougher than others. How to stay on track?

 

Enlist an exercise buddy. Make a plan to meet at a specific time and day with a friend, neighbor or co-worker for a work-out.

 

Exercise regularly with your dog. Try telling Fido you don’t want to go for a run. They don’t take excuses.

 

Just not in the mood? Go for a shorter work-out. Instead of the usual hour try just 30 minutes.

 

Do something different. If you just can’t face treadmill today try a class or go for a longer walk.

 

Think of a fit person you admire. That may encourage you.

 

Think of a person you don’t want to look like. This may also encourage you.

 

Bribe yourself.  If I go work-out today I’ll skip cleaning house tonight and watch a TV show instead.

 

Turn on some favorite music. It may perk you up and get you in the exercise mood.

 

Sniff some peppermint extract. It has uplifting effects and may boost your desire to exercise.

 

Ask a friend to help you. Do you have a good friend who is a great motivator?

 

Weigh yourself. It can either make you feel good about your exercise results or make you realize you need to do it.

 

Try changing times. If you exercise at night try a morning work-out. You’ll find new people at the gym or new runners out on the trail.

 

Try exercise at lunch. It can be a great stress reliever or an energizer.   A yoga class at lunch can do wonders to change a stressful day into a better day.

 

Schedule in exercise and just do it!
