8 Tips to Turn a New Fitness Routine into a Daily Habit 1) Think of the dangers of excess weight The fact that you have seen or heard a close family member or friend battle with obesity is enough inspiration. Some of them may have been admitted to hospital or even succumbed to the problem. Remember how they had difficulty in: •Climbing the stair case •Walking few meters without sweating and/or panting •Doing ordinary chores 2) Think of the dangerous weight loss procedures The highly acclaimed miracle weight loss approaches may not be safe after all.

Some dangers of unsafe weight loss approaches are: •Risk of death from unsafe surgeries •Starvation •Muscle wasting 3) Put your priorities right Many people start a fitness routine with a lot of enthusiasm and consistency. However, the interest and keenness fades after a few weeks or days. Find something that inspires you to workout. Some of the inspirations are drawn from the fact that you will attain: •The perfect body •Better sleeping habits •Enjoyment •Alertness 4) Choose exercises that you actually enjoy You do not have to lift abnormally heavy weights at the gym or do a thousand excruciating pushups daily.

Enjoyable preoccupations include: •Cycling •Tennis •Aerobics •Walking 5) Make exercise a priority When you have selected a favourite pastime, always be positive about the work out and make it a priority. Program your mind to think of a day of missed exercises as a chance for undesirable fats to be deposited in your body. 6) Exercise in the morning Ensure you exercise in the morning before going to work or school. As exercise keeps you fit and alert, it will benefit your other aspects of life all day long. Similarly, you may be too tired from the day’s activities to exercise in the evening. 7) Set yourself targets If running is your favourite pastime, set targets of time taken to complete a specific race. Setting targets or having some fitness goals ensures that you look forward to the next session. Additionally, you will have the motivation to: •Beat new records •Feel good about your achievements •Inspire others to succeed 8) Find a colleague Find friends, workmates, school mates or people who live close to you to engage in a similar fitness routine.
