Ask for help<\/strong>. It\u2019s OK to not be able to do it ALL by yourself. Acknowledge where you need assistance and then go and find it. Whether that\u2019s finding a personal trainer, watching YouTube videos of \u2018how to\u2019 tips or chatting to a friend who is a regular gym or class go-er.\u00a0 There are so many resources available to you, at of which are free of charge. Seek help where you need it.<\/p>\n Start somewhere<\/strong>. It doesn\u2019t matter where you start, but just start! Don\u2019t put it off until next week, don\u2019t say to yourself you need to get fit first\u2026just start! It\u2019s the hardest, most intimidating part\u2026but its achievable no matter how small that start is.\u00a0 Go for a walk, do some stretches, dance around your kitchen, arrange a game of tennis with a pal \u2013 whatever it is get yourself going and you won\u2019t regret it!<\/p>\n Make a plan.<\/strong>Planning time to be active, organising what to eat, getting up earlier in the morning all takes planning and a lot of it! Making activity a priority is a step in the right direction. Know on Sunday when your activity\/training is going to be for the week ahead and actually block it out in your calendar.\u00a0 Even better try and fit them around the same time each week so that it just becomes part of your routine.\u00a0 And, look, if you have to miss a session.. don’t kill yourself about it..just get back on track for the next week.\u00a0 Try and make exercise as convenient as possible (such as finding a gym that is on your commute or booking a class that fits in perfectly to your lunch hour) around your other commitments so there is less room for excuses.<\/p>\n Be realistic<\/strong>. Small wins = big gains. Don\u2019t set yourself up to fail by creating unrealistic goals.\u00a0 Start off small and tick off in your diary when you have completed your tasks. Charting your progress is incredibly important to see progression.\u00a0 All or nothing is not a great way to go and going too hard too soon can causes injuries or muscle soreness so bad that you can\u2019t walk let alone workout for a week!<\/p>\n Find something fun to do<\/strong>. Most the time it\u2019s not what you do, it\u2019s how consistent you are with it. If it\u2019s not fun, you simply won\u2019t want to do it! You have stopped before you have even started! Yes, potentially there are \u2018more\u2019 efficient ways to achieve goals (doing resistance work, compound movements etc) but if you love ten pin bowling and you are going to go bowling 3 times a week and that\u2019s more movement than you\u2019re used to\u2026stick to ten pin bowling for now!<\/p>\n Praise is good!\u00a0 <\/strong>Don\u2019t forget to say WELL DONE to yourself as you go.\u00a0 Acknowledge all the small wins you are having each week and keep encouraging yourself.\u00a0Taking the first step of bothering to read this post is a good start so well done you!<\/p>\n Good Luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ask for help.
