12 Ways to Put Excitement Back into your Exercise Program
by Kelli Calabrese
• Take a class – going at it alone can be a drag. A class adds the excitement of a live knowledgeable instructor, appropriate music, variety, group support, and oh yeah – mirrors which can keep you motivated to make and see.
• Get a partner – those who exercise with a buddy increase their chances of sticking to their routine by almost 90%. Choose someone who is at or slightly above your fitness level. Make a commitment to each other to show up and even weigh in. You will keep each other accountable, workout when you would have slept in, and push a little harder than you would on your own. Spouses can make the best exercise buddies.
• Use your library card – What? I can get fit with my library card? Yes! Libraries house shelves of exercise videos which you can check out for free for 7 days. You can try a new exercise video every week. Choose from a variety of formats and instructors. Very little if any equipment is typically needed.
• Change your time – you can get a renewed feeling by changing your workout time. If you normally exercise in the mornings, try switching to afternoons or evenings. You may find you have more energy, it helps to work off the days stress, and you eat a healthier dinner and sleep better.
• Join your kids – get involved with the kids activities. If they play a sport, help them practice by going to the field and engaging in drills with them. You can also ride your bikes, play Frisbee, inline skate, hike the trails in your local parks or sign up for a self defense class together. The time with your children is priceless; you will be a great role model, and set the stage for a lifetime of good habits for your children. They may even think you are cool!
• Always be dressed to move. You never know when the opportunity may arise to go for a quick jog. If you find yourself feeling energized or with time to kill, instead of sitting around and waiting, get up and get your heart rate up. Keep your sneakers handy at all time.
• Bust out of your comfort zone. Has there been something you have always wanted to try but have been a spectator instead? It’s time to get off of the bench and be a participant. You may just find a favorite new activity and feel like a kid again. From ballroom dancing to kickboxing, and from rock climbing to swimming, there is no shortage of activities to choose from.
