Exercise is good for your whole body and your mind. We know it can be difficult to get going, though. Need some motivation? Take some of our tips for getting up and at it. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we believe an active lifestyle is part of a healthy lifestyle.
Visualize It (See it in your minds eye)
Set yourself up for the exercise mentality by creating visual reminders and motivators. Place a list of your favorite workouts on your kitchen bulletin board. Write your plans for your next bike ride on your calendar. Jot down a few fitness goals and place them on your fridge. Whatever you do, just make a visual, positive reminder that will inspire you to stick with your plans.
Make Time and Just Do it
Many of us make the excuse that we do not have time. This may actually be true, however, you have to make time. Cut small amounts of time out of other parts of your day where you can. The time will add up so you can have that extra half-hour after work or an extra hour on a Saturday.
Involve a Friend
Social interaction is very Important :Ask a friend to join a gym with you or go for walks a few times per week. Having someone who can hold you accountable helps make sure you do not cancel plans on yourself. They may appreciate you for the same reason!
Switch Up Your Routine
Doing the same workouts every time gets boring and you plateau in your workout gains. If you’re bored, you’re less likely to follow through with your workout schedule. Instead of skipping your next boring workout, change it up! Do something you normally wouldn’t. Go rollerblading. Join a yoga class. Try kickboxing. Then make these switch-ups part of your routine!
Exercise is vital for life. Set yourself up for success with these tips. For more help with healthy living, schedule an appointment with Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA by calling (415) 721-7520 or by visiting our website, www.summitchiro.net.
