We all know that exercising is an important part of being healthy but knowing it and doing it are totally different things. There are a lot of barriers. Life comes up and gets in the way. If you are ready to start exercising, I am going to show you how to begin today!
The top 3 struggles I hear the most from people regarding working out are:
- Time
- Lack of motivation or getting started
- No equipment
So, let’s break down these 3 common barriers:
Time
- put your workout on your calendar
- treat it like a meeting
- write out I will (name exercise) on (day/time) at (location)
- get movement in with things you are already doing
- walk while you talk on the phone
- take the stairs
- park farther away in the parking lot
- when you watch a show be active- during commercials or set a timer and do a movement
- while waiting for coffee to brew or when brushing your teeth- do lunges or squats
- go on an active date
- read my blog post “20 ways to add more movement into your day” for all 20 ideas!
- commit to a 10-minute workout a day
- try Heather Robertson Daily 10 Program
Lack of motivation or getting started
- find something you enjoy
- track your workouts
- get a workout partner
- write down a SMART goal
- specific
- measurable
- achievable
- relevant
- time bound
- know your why, it can help you stay focused
- overall health, more energy, feel better, etc.
- write it out- I exercise because________________.
- workout for just 10 minutes
- find a challenge to be part of
- hire me as your wellness coach
No equipment
- use your own body weight
- squats
- lunges
- calf raises
- leg raises
- sit-ups
- crunches
- jumping jacks
- create an EMOM workout
- try Heather Robertson No equipment workout
