How to Enjoy Exercise!
Let’s face it, getting up at 5am to hit the gym isn’t everyone’s cup of tea - but exercise doesn’t have to be a chore. Here you can find some ways to make exercise enjoyable again and reap the benefits that accompany it!
4 tips to boost enjoyment from exercise
Find activities you enjoy: Instead of forcing yourself to do exercises you don't like, try out different activities until you find something that you enjoy. This can help make exercise feel less like a chore and more like a fun activity. An active hobby is a great way to get in exercise in an enjoyable way.
Set realistic goals: Setting achievable goals can help you stay motivated and feel a sense of accomplishment. Start small and gradually increase the difficulty of your workouts.
Mix it up: Doing the same exercise routine every day can become boring. Add variety by incorporating different types of exercise, such as cardio, strength training, and yoga.
Get social support: Exercising with a friend or joining a fitness class can provide social support and make exercise more enjoyable. Plus, having a workout buddy can help keep you accountable and motivated.
