Here is today's FITNESS GUIDE tip:
What's Stopping You?
Between
the job, the house, and the fact that your phone has dropped 44 calls today,
it's been a stressful day. You know you should exercise, but instead you find
yourself on the couch watching TV and mindlessly eating. Or maybe you meant to
get up early and go for a walk, but you stayed up too late fiddling on the
computer, and when the alarm went off you hit snooze (and snooze and snooze and
snooze) and rolled over.
Establishing
new, healthy habits is difficult, and often our old routines have a sneaky way
of sabotaging our best efforts. If you find you are having trouble sticking to
your new exercise routine, take some time to identify what is getting in your
way. If it's the lure of the couch after work, don't let yourself come home or
turn on the TV until you've exercised. Make a rule that you can't use the
computer past 10 pm, and lay out your exercise clothes the night before to
strengthen your commitment.
Little
actions like these go a long way toward breaking old habits and establishing new
ones. The key is to identify what is getting in your way, and figure out a way
to overcome those obstacles. Read more about changing bad habits, and start changing
yours!
