Keep Going
Momentum is a central part of uniform exercise. It's normal to
have those weeks when everything goes correctly: You do all your
exercises, eat like a health nut and begin to think, 'I may
completely accomplish this!'
Then 'it' materializes. 'It' may be a vacation, an illness...something
that throws you off your game. Getting back is constantly tough,
partly as you've lost that momentum. We already realize that an
object at rest tends to remain at rest, so getting going again is the
only way to get your momentum moving.
Rather than caring about making up for lost time with intense
exercises, center on simply getting some exercise time in. Plan
your exercises for the week and call yourself successful simply for
turning up.
Purchase yourself a little something like a new pair of running
shoes or an exceptional pair of shorts to wear to the gym. If you're
having hassles getting back to it, get a new outfit or download a
few new songs to your MP3 player so you've something to look
forward to.
Make an appointment to exercise with an acquaintance or call your
gym and arrange a free consultation with a personal trainer. Even
