Secret One: Find Your “Why”

To be successful at any endeavor you need a good reason for doing it in the first place.  Exercise is no exception.  While “losing weight” or “wanting to be fit” are good goals, they are not good enough reasons for long term success.  You must dig deeper.  What is important to you?  What changes do you want in your life?  Answer these questions to see how regular exercise can support you in living the life that you want.

Secret Two: Keep Track of Your Progress

Set your goals, write them down and then chart your progress.  Be sure to write down your daily achievements to compare to your goals.  This will become extremely motivating as you see yourself meeting your goals.  With consistent exercise, you will also see your workouts becoming easier and your ability to work harder and longer.

Why is this so important?  Because you will see improvements “on paper” faster than you see visible results on your body such as weight loss or definition.  It is easy to become frustrated and quit exercise right before big changes are about to happen, because you don’t see the results on your body.  But your body is making changes at the cellular level and seeing measurable progress on paper will keep you motivated while you work towards the bigger goals you have set for yourself.

Secret Three: Get Objective Feedback

You may know what a good workout feels like - you have that endorphin “high” after exercise, or you have energy to spare all day long.  But do you know what an effective workout feels like?  It is hard to know how effective your workout is every day without waiting for weeks or months to see the results.  What if you could see day after day how many calories you burned, or what your heart rate was each workout?  Using a heart rate monitor can tell you if you are working too hard or not hard enough.  What about calories?  Many pedometers can monitor the calories you are burning all day long, keeping you motivated to move!  When you look for ways to add activity to your day it becomes a fun game and you can instantly see the results.
