1 Write specific, measurable goals down on paper. Do not start off by making goals too difficult because you’ll think you can never achieve it. Instead, make goals that are easy for you to achieve first. Then you can slowly escalate your goals as you achieve them. Be sure to make it specific such as running 1 mile in 6 minute or 30 push ups in 1 minute. This will help you visualize your goals, which will help you achieve them much easier.
Exercise in an enjoyable way. Do exercises that you enjoy that will also improve your health. Exercise with a friend, family member or your lover. Try to change your exercise routine every week so you don’t bore yourself to death. Do a different exercise everyday.
Make exercise the first thing in the morning. After you get off your bed start your exercise before you eat your breakfast. You can brush your teeth and wash your face to wake you up before you exercise of course. When doing anaerobic/strength training you should eat a little snake such as a fruit or energy bar and when you do aerobic/cardio make sure to drink some water or Gatorade before the exercise.
Exercise consistently every single day. This will prevent you from becoming lazy and skip your exercise. This doesn’t mean you do the same type of exercise everyday of course. You should do a different exercise each day which includes: aerobic/cardio, anaerobic/strength training, stretching, active resting/walking, martial arts, sports, etc. Try to do aerobic/cardio 3-5 times a week and anaerobic/strength training 1-3 times a week.
Log your exercises every time you exercise. Write down the type of exercise you did, how you felt, the date & time, if you got better or worse, how you can improve next time, what went right or wrong, etc. Make sure to write it right after you finish your exercise so you don’t forget.
