The Route To 24-7 Fitness

Creating an exercise strategy will make sure you stay fit and healthy.

You will see that what is needed is a shift in your routine. In the same way diets don’t work if you slide back into previous habits you need to make sure that the changes you make are sustainable. Part of making this happen is being willing to stick with it for long enough to become habit. Part of it is making realistic changes. But there are strategies you can use to make the changes feel more positive.

The first thing is to draw up a schedule of what exercise you are going to do. You may do this yourself but it may be worth getting some professional advices with your training schedule. Again, be realistic.

Knowing what training you are going to be doing and when helps you get into the routine and stops you worrying about it. Your exercise and training becomes like just another entry in your diary. You may not feel like that meeting today but you do it because there it is. It is no longer a question of whether you fancy it. Exercise is something that has its place like everything else. But don’t sign up to something that you will not sustain and will give up on as you feel you have ‘failed’. You are better up maintaining your enthusiasm by building up gradually. If you do fall away don’t over-react. Don’t stop. Reappraise and start a revised plan. It may just have been time for a change. Different commitments or fitness levels may mean what was interesting and stimulating before is no longer appropriate. Don’t become stale.

Another key strategy is to have a training partner. This may be someone you meet at the gym with or someone you run with. It may be someone you don’t often exercise with but have an agreed goal with that you both are working towards. Remember that meeting in your diary? You go because it is in the diary but also because someone is expecting you, possibly depending on you. Add this dimension to your exercise. Your training partner will give you encouragement. You can share the ups and downs of training. You can overcome the challenges together. It can also be good if you are slightly inhibited at the gym – having a training partner will make you more relaxed and help you to get on with what you are there for. Of course your training partner also adds a social dimension to training. This is great when you have a busy life. Exercising and socialising mix, you need both and won’t feel guilty when you are killing two birds with one stone and can tell yourself, and your partner, you have to go as someone is expecting you.
