Get Inspired to Exercise at Home
Here are some tips to help you get—and keep you—all fired up to work out at home.
- See your success. Visualize how you want to feel and what types of fitness activities you actually enjoy doing.
- Pick a day and time to practice. Schedule time for exercise just like you would anything else.
- Start off with something reasonable. Try 20 minutes of cardio or strength training twice a week to start and build up from there.
- Get outside! Time in the great outdoors can make exercise seem effortless.
- Get your groove on. Pick up music with a beat that moves you.
- Find some inspiration. Snag a DVD, podcast, or a book and follow along for guidance.
- Mix it up. Try a variety of different activities, so you don’t get bored.
- Don’t go it alone. Work out with a friend to help keep each other motivated.
