Diversified Physical Therapy Offers Tips for a SUCCESSFUL Exercise Program

December 1, 2011

The first step to success is to have an achievable goal: If you set your goals to high they will never be achieved which will leave you feeling like you failed. Don't start out by saying you want to lose twenty pounds, focus on trying to lose five. Try to drink one less glass of soda or eat one less sugary snack a day, instead try to drink an extra glass of water and eat something healthy.

The second step is to find an activity you like to do: If you have never roller bladed in your life do not choose that as your exercise, you will never keep it up. You do not need to buy fancy gym equipment or a membership either (unless you feel you are going to make the commitment to do it). Take the dog for a walk, a stroll through the mall, or play catch with your child. These are simple, inexpensive ways to get moving.

Get a friend to exercise with. People are significantly more likely to stick to a program when they have a exercise partner. Join a class with your buddy and you get to socialize and exercise at the same time! If you find the activity fun you are going to want to do it.

And finally do it: If you constantly say� "I'll start tomorrow�" Tomorrow will never come. If finding time is an issue, make an appointment with yourself, like you would to go to the hairdressers, going out to lunch with your friends or for Physical Therapy. Turn off that television and get off the couch. You'll feel great and you will also be a great example for your child, grandchild or spouse.
