1. Make your vacations differently
Giving up on your daily routine doesn't mean your exercise
plan will fall apart. Skip city tours on the big buses and explore a new city
by taking a walking tour. Look for hotels with gyms or partnerships with local
gyms.
Or plan a vacation around an activity that interests you. If
you've been wanting to run 10 km for a long time, make a subscription in the
city you want to visit. Have you wanted to work on hand balance for a long
time? Find a yoga retreat.
2. Training schedule.
Scheduling tasks with a date and time—rather than putting
them on an endless to-do list—is a more efficient way to handle projects. So
schedule your workouts and set an alarm for them just as you would a meeting or
dinner.
3. Involve the kids
One of the reasons people often think they don't have time
to exercise is because they can't stay away from their kids long enough to
exercise. I say take them with you! Have your kids create a modified version of
the HIIT training DVD with you. Take them to the park to play basketball or
play football. Get rid of the heat and swim together in summer.
Not only will you spend precious time with your children,
but they will also learn about healthy living.
4. Use social media to your advantage.
Facebook is useful for more than just seeing what your old
classmates are up to. Use your social media to get attention. You're more
likely to get up for an early morning run if you post about it the night
before. You can also use it to recruit friend to joins you on your fitness
journey, whether it's a real-life physical activity or just rooting for each
other.
5. Add shape while watching TVs.
Instead of curled up on the couch with snack while you put
away the DVD, use this time to exercise. Bodyweight exercises such as ski
jumping, high knees, planks, crunches, sit-ups and more can be done without
equipment. Add a little weight to burn even more.
6. Track your progress.
If you're the one who works best with visuals, buying a
pedometer might be for you. It will track your steps, show you your daily
progress, and encourage you to take a few extra steps a day.
7. Do fun exercises.
It's hard to make exercise a daily habit if you're not
having fun. Find activities you enjoy - don't worry about what's in and out.
Whether it's Pilates, skiing, running, walking, swimming or something else
entirely, choosing the workout you really enjoy is critical. when you're having
fun, it doesn't feel like exercise.
8. Try something new.
But don't limit yourself to just the techniques you're
familiar with. Try a new training class or join a friend in this mad rush for
colors. While each workout might not be your favorite, you might just find
something new to enjoy and keep your muscles guessing.
9. Keep it cheap
Training doesn't have to be expensive. Workout DVDs and
YouTube videos are a great way to spice up your daily routine and often require
little or no equipment. From Pilates to cardiovascular and strength training,
you can find a video or channel that suits your interests.
10 Set a goal
When you're working on something specific, it's easier to
stay motivated. Would you like to start earning more miles? Sign up for a local
race to make sure you hit the track. Do you want to improve hand balance in
your yoga practice? Try to spend a few minutes a day doing crunches to increase
your strength. It will be much more enjoyable when you reach your goal - and
set a new one!
11. Use the app for this.
Is there anything smartphones can't do? Work with a fitness
monitor - use an interval timer alarm to do short workouts throughout the day,
download apps with special workouts, or measure your miles while running from
zombie.
Adding a little more exercises to your daily routine doesn't
have to be strenuous or tedious. With these 20 exercise tips, you'll feel
better and reach the recommended amount of weekly exercise in no time!
