Easy Ways to Stay Fit

\

We all have ups and downs when it comes to our fitness routines. Sometimes we work out every day, and sometimes we fall off the bandwagon and it’s hard to get back on. 

1: Stop convincing yourself you have to love working out

Get the idea out of your head that working out is an option. Even if I’m not in love with what I’m doing, I still do it to reach my goals. There are many forms of exercise so it’s likely you'll find something that’s tolerable. But remember, you don’t have to love or even like it. You just have to do it. 

2: Stay consistent!

It doesn’t matter what gets you moving, as long as you stay with it. What matters is that your mindset stays consistent. Dedicate myself to health and have the freedom to explore different types of fitness.

3: "3 or 30"

This is the mantra use when workout is lacking. “3 or 30” means you have to do something active during the day that’s either three miles or 30 minutes. It may seem silly, but it works! The number three isn’t intimidating. It’s a number that lets you be consistent while still feeling like you accomplished. something It’s a good way to get back in your fitness game. Try it!

4: Ask yourself what the consequences are if you don’t work out

Answering this question is very effective. Will you think about how you should have exercised throughout the rest of the day? Will you judge everything you eat? Will it be harder to go to the gym tomorrow? I bet once you’ve answered, honestly, you'll realize it’s just better (and easier!) to get your workout done with so you can forget about it.
